Pumps and Valves

Occupying a spectacular location on the edge of Lake District, the new K Village Outlet Centre consists of 60,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space within a contemporary covered environment. Main contractor, Rotary NW Ltd, required a comprehensive smoke ventilation system for the specialist zones of the site that included systems for both above and below ground level extraction and safety.

Techcon Systems, a product group of OK International and a leading provider of fluid dispensing systems and products, launches the new TS5540-MS Micro-Spray Valve. The new valve is designed to spray low to medium viscosity fluids through disposable dispensing tips.

In the past pumping systems were designed taking into account the old realities of abundant and relatively cheap electricity. Production stability and reliability was king. Now power supply is limited, unreliable and increasingly expensive. IPUC 2011 will focus on latest developments around the world designed to address this new environment and how to modify existing systems without incurring a crippling financial burden. Particular emphasis will be placed on the utilities – water and electricity – where the World in general and Africa in particular, face impending crises of supply and infrastructure failure, with vast implications for health and quality of life. We all know that the end result should be pumping systems facilitating lower production costs and higher profits for the operator, together with less pressure on both electricity supply capacity and the environment, but how do we get there? Join us at IPUC 2011 to find out!

Two years into its five-year £1.5M Single Source Supply Framework Agreement with Yorkshire Water Services, Landia has completed the installation of over 100 Anoxic/Selector POP-1 mixers.

Flowline's liquid and gas flow switches are simple devices that are used to detect or monitor flow and send a signal or alarm to another device. They are useful tools in situations where it is important to know whether or not flow exists and to act upon that knowledge (for example they can be used to actuate a signal when flow stops, start a motor with flow, shut off an alarm when flow is adequate or stop a motor with no flow).

Bürkert’s new stainless steel 2000 INOX angle seat valve is designed to control a wide range of media - including water, alcohols, oils, steam and air - at temperatures up to +180 degrees C. The combination of the valve’s high temperature and high corrosion resistance means that is ideal for hygienic processing applications, and provides a robust compact and reliable solution for isolating fuels, hydraulic fluid, saline solutions, alkaline solutions, organic solvents and neutral gases.

Techcon Systems, a product group of OK International and a leading provider of fluid dispensing systems and products, introduces new manual plungers and pistons for the 700 Series Syringe Barrels.

The city of Rock Hill, South Carolina has replaced obsolete technology in its wastewater treatment plant with state of the art Parker SSD variable speed drives. Its Wildcat Lift Station was constructed in the 1970s to accommodate rising population and includes three 150kW centrifugal pumps that lift 11 million gallons per day a total of 143 feet (44m).
