Stuart Wallis from SPP Pumps added: “This forward-looking new partnership with Ham Baker well and truly opens the door for UK water companies to generate the same energy values from Micro installations but at the same time drastically reduce their Hydro TOTEX. The lifecycle costs for PaT win hands down – and by creating a simple by-pass at most treatment works’ inlets/outlets, there’s no disruption or change needed to existing equipment such as valves”.
This new agreement with SPP Pumps follows Ham Baker Group’s recent launch of a new Screw Generator system for hydro power. Made with a low-cost reinforced plastic screw for existing sewage outfalls (1m to 4m head) with flow rates of up to 900 litres per second, it has the potential to generate up to 30 kW.

Internet of Things could help Gulf
States solve water woes Using the Internet of Things to create smart water networks could play a key role in helping countries in the Gulf States make best use of their water supplies say UK specialists. Philip Stockdale from UK Company AquamatiX will be explaining the potential of WaterworX software and cloud- based control systems in the United Arab Emirates later this month.
The Surrey-based company will take part in the International Water Summit in Abu Dhabi from 18-21 January 2016 at the invitation of UK industry body British Water.
Mr Stockdale, who is director of Business Development at AquamatiX said: “We are delighted to have been invited to take part in this summit, which is the biggest in the Middle East and is part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week. The United Arab Emirates has a commitment to increasing water conservation, sustainability and resilience.”
Arabian Gulf countries already have the highest per capita rate of domestic water consumption in the world and the demand is expected to double in the next two decades. Groundwater levels are falling and a heavy reliance on desalination means water production is highly energy intensive.
Mr Stockdale says: “AquamatiX has pioneered the use of the Internet of Things in the water industry.
By using cloud-based control systems, M2M communications, system analytics and smart sensors it is possible to create an intelligent network which uses water and energy as efficiently as possible.
“Minimising wastage and making the best use of energy is particularly important in water-stressed areas of the world – so this is a great opportunity to demonstrate our ideas to delegates from the gulf states where conserving water is such a crucial issue.”
Lila Thompson, International Director of British Water said: “We are excited to be Continued on p38.. 36 drain TRADER | February 2016 |
