Grundfos practice what they preach


t Grundfos, we are proud of our reputation for


helping to reduce the impact that pumps are having on the environment, through the creation of energy efficient solutions. To underpin this, in 2008 we set ourselves some tough targets, one of which was to reduce our total water usage at all our plants by 50% by 2025. In striving to achieve


this, various innovative solutions have been put into place all around the world. One recent such initiative at a Grundfos plant in Denmark, has seen a system installed that collects and cleans wastewater from their paint plant for re­use. The closed loop system is projected to save 10,000 m3 of water per year and is also a live working showcase of how wastewater can be treated effectively at source. This approach forms part of our wider Grundfos strategy to


support all the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially the two that focus on clean water (6) and climate action (13). The UN Global Agreement Goal #6 focuses on providing universal access to clean water and sanitation which is still something that 800 million people lack. Taking action on a practical level such as this, is proof that we are taking this commitment very seriously. For more information visit:

REHAU launches new myth­busting district heating guide


contributing around 2% of the UK’s total heat demand, REHAU has released a new guide to help M&E Consultants and Contractors better understand the use of pre­insulated pipes in district heating systems. Breaking Down the


W


Barriers is a 12­page guide aiming to improve the industry’s understanding of heat networks and bust some common misconceptions surrounding district heating pipework. The guide delves into the world


of district heating, which uses a variety of sources, including gas and energy from waste and renewable energy sources, to provide heat demand for a number of buildings, whether residential, commercial or multi­ occupancy.


ith heat networks still only


It also explores the


benefits of this heat network, which offers carbon savings via local heat generation, lower bills to end users and can help reduce fuel poverty, lower maintenance and fuel security. The guide also takes on some common misconceptions


surrounding district heating and the use of polymer pipes in these heat networks. Questions such as, are specialist welding teams required for installation, and are polymer pipes only suited for small networks and house connections, are answered. And later in the guide M&E Contractors are given five top tips to consider when working on district heating projects. To download your guide

account for 10% of global electricity and many are needlessly inefficient. Today, by focussing on changing to high efficiency pumps that incorporate advanced motor technology, an average pump’s energy consumption can be reduced by up to 60%. Efficiencies are a function of good pump design and not purely a


P


standalone benefit, so it is important to understand the true value of pump efficiency. This means that to achieve the highest overall efficiency the complete installation needs to be examined as opposed to just viewing the pump in isolation and being able to deliver real energy savings with a short return on investment. By thinking beyond the pump and taking the entire pumping system


into account it is possible to optimise the way pumps, drives, controls & protection, measurement and communication units work together as part of one system. A manufacturer like Grundfos, can incorporate specific demands with their application expertise. They can then take these requirements and translate them into state­of­the­art pump intelligence ­ for any application. This approach that is both integral as well as encompassing the integrity of the entire system and is called Grundfos iSOLUTIONS. To see how you could benefit visit:

Flexible requirements for luxury apartments


H


eat Interface Unit manufacturer, Heatlink, is


supplying the heating products for new luxurious apartments in MediaCityUK. Lorne Stewart Engineering, delivering the Lightbox project, needed to find the right supplier for the district heating scheme, including Heat Interface Units (HIU) and Heat Meters, and when they came across Heatlink the fit was right. Heatlink supplied bespoke


products that were designed to meet the specification and this was hugely beneficial. After work had commenced, changes had to be made, however through Heatlink’s on site manufacture and flexible design approach, it was no issue to accommodate any necessary amendments.


Phil Harrison,


Heatlink’s Managing Director says, “Heatlink prides itself on delivering bespoke HIUs that meet each individual specification, and that is exactly what we have provided on this project. If Lorne Stewart had opted to


use a company that provides more standard HIUs then their ongoing requirements would not have been achieved in the time frame, if at all.” Nick concludes, “Unlike other


manufacturers we’d spoken to, Heatlink has a sole focus on Heat Interface Units therefore their technical knowledge and expertise surpassed anyone else. I have been very happy and I’d definitely work with them again.” To find out more visit:
