Products Boilers, pumps & valves Better boiler control can cut energy bills by 30 per cent


Inefficient boilers, where water is re- heated unnecessarily, mean business energy costs can be more than 30 per cent higher than they should be, accord- ing to ENER-G Controls. “Your typical boiler is unintelligent and


will often fire up unnecessarily, when there is still sufficient heat within the system,” explains, Steve Berry, general manager for ENER-G Controls. “When this happens the boiler re-heats water that is already sufficiently heated and the excess heat is wasted up the boiler flue. This is commonly called dry-cycling and can add more than 30 per cent to the cost of an organisation's heating bill.” ENER-G Controls has introduced the


E-MAGINE Boiler Optimiser that makes boilers demand driven. As such, the boiler only runs when it needs to and at the temperature required to satisfy demand, thus saving energy and unnecessary wear of the equipment. Steve Berry adds: “Heating and hot


water accounts for more than a third of UK business energy consumption, there- fore boiler control is one of the quickest and easiest ways an organisation can reduce energy bills and make energy savings to comply with environmental targets on carbon reduction. Typical payback on investment will take 12 to 24 months, depending on the size of the system. The technology also qualifies for


Enhanced Capital Allowances, enabling businesses to offset a portion of the purchase cost against tax. Or if businesses prefer they can take out an energy performance contract which may provide a better option in receiving guaranteed savings from day one” ENER-G Controls is providing a 14-day


proving period of its E-MAGINE Boiler Optimiser to energy intensive businesses to demonstrate the reduction in fuel cost and carbon savings that can be made. The E-MAGINE Boiler Optimiser is compatible with most types of boilers. ENER-G T: 0161 7457450 www.energ-group.com Enter 315


Pumps help to reduce maintenance downtime


Four Borger Pumps have helped Anglian Water make a big reduction in maintenance/ servicing downtime at its Whitlingham Water Recycling Centre near Norwich. Pumping warm sludge (40˚C)


24/7, the MIP (Maintenance-In- Place) feature of the pumps has improved servicing, as Anglian Water’s Andy Pope explains: “Before this installation, removal of a pump for repair or service would mean at least a day off-line.” “Rebuilding the old pumps


or just servicing them was always a difficult task because they are awkward, heavy and


Seal for safety Designed for agitator duties where shaft movements are larger, speeds are slower and conditions far more variable than those encountered by pump seals, Chemineer’s new ChemSeal’s bal- anced seal design reduces seal face wear rate. Available in either single or double configurations, it also increases pressure capability by reducing the seal contact pressure as process pressure fluctuates. When combined with Chemineer’s


swing-out seal change procedure, maintenance times are reduced. True cartridge design allows for quick and easy removal, inspection and replace- ment of a worn seal. In the event of a pressure reversal,


vessel contents are contained, improv- ing operator and plant safety.

located in very tricky place. However, the Borger pumps have made maintenance far more efficient. And in what is a harsh environment, they are also proving extremely reliable in pumping the sludge.” The specially designed


Borger PL 200 pumps for Whitlingham are very com- pact, with reduced foot-print helical drive upright 5.5Kw drives and special motor mounted inverters, helping resolve a restricted space issue. Borger Pumps T: 01902 798977 www.boerger-pumps.com Enter 316


Hygienic pumps for sterile products


The established range of CSF hygienic centrifu- gal pumps includes the CSD Aseptic series which achieves the ultimate level of hygiene when transferring liquids in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, injectable/intravenous, ultra pure and other process applications where hygiene is critical. When fitted within an Aseptic plant these pumps are said to ensure sterility and can assist in extending shelf life by ensuring the cleanest possible process conditions. Available through the liquids handling specialist, Pump


Engineering, CSF CSD series pumps are said to be robust and reliable. The mechanical seal is internal and balanced, fitted with EN12756/ISO3069 seats protected from contamination by a high tem- perature flush. Inlet and outlet ports are fitted with a steam protection barrier to ensure sterility, ensuring all points of potential microbial ingress are securely defended. As with all CS series pumps, the CSD features an open impeller and


a clamp casing, seal design and back pull out IEC standard motors, which allows for quick disassembly and inspection. Typical applications include aseptic/long life food, beverage and


milk products, injectable and intravenous products, pharmaceutical/ biopharm, fine fragrances and flavourings where cross contamination and/or microbial ingress cannot be tolerated. Pump Engineering T: 01903 730900 www.pumpeng.co.uk Enter 318


SEPTEMBER 2013 Factory Equipment Launch of scroll


vacuum pump Vacuum pump manufacturer Busch has launched a new scroll vacuum pump, the Fossa FO 0015 A. The Fossa is a hermetic sealed, com- pletely dry-compressing vacuum pump which is suitable for a wide range of specialist applications including the handling of noble gases, helium leak detectors, laboratories and R & D, analytical devices, to name but a few. A key sector for Fossa is in the


semiconductor industry, where it is used for the evacuation of load locks and transfer chambers. Other general industrial applications include the handling and transport of inert gases, plasma cleaning machines and coating machines. When used in conjunction with a turbomolecular vacuum pump, the Fossa provides a completely dry vacuum for use in high vacuum applications. Mark Sumnall, UK sales director for


Busch (UK), says: “From a technical perspective, the new Fossa has been designed and constructed to ensure that no lubricated mechanical parts are located within the compression cham- ber. Thanks to its hermetically sealed design, contamination or chemical reactions with pump operating fluids are eliminated and there’s also an optional gas-ballast valve which allows for the improved pumping of vapours.
