Water / Wastewater Treatment
AxFlow Appointed Exclusive Distributor
AxFlow Limited (UK) has been appointed the exclusive Great Britain distributor for the European built range of WEMCO of recessed impeller Torque Flow pumps. The sales and distribution agreement commences as from 1st January 2011.
WEMCO is the market-leading brand of vortex impeller pumps used in wastewater treatment and applications where fluids contain high levels of solids and grit. The strength of these pumps lies in their ability to operate in conditions where ragging and fouling of the pump impeller is a common hazard.
“Being appointed the exclusive distributor in Great Britain for this European range of pumps is a significant development for AxFlow, and it gives us greater exposure within the water and wastewater treatment industries,” comments AxFlow managing director Tony Peters. “WEMCO recognised that with our nationwide teams of sales engineers and service centres in Huddersfield, Aberdeen, London and Newquay we would be able to provide the highest levels of support to which their extensive customer base has become accustomed.”
The Vortex pump technique developed by WEMCO is based on the principle of a whirlpool: a vortex is created by the rotating, recessed impeller, extended into the suction line, drawing the liquid / solids into the pump and then quickly through the discharge, whilst minimising the fluid / solids contact with the impeller and volute. This simple design allows solids, whether soft or hard, to pass through the pump without choking the impeller and considerably reduces pump wear.
“The WEMCO heavy duty C Range of High Chrome Iron recessed impeller pumps, containing the unique cup-shaped or curved impeller, impeller back plate and two-piece housing has a significant user base throughout Great Britain,” continues Tony Peters. “We shall also be seeking to increase demand for the WEMCO A, WP, S and F ranges of close-coupled, long-coupled and cantilever pumps.”

New 3G Effluent Disinfection Modules from UV03
UV03 Ltd's (United Kingdom) 3G effluent disinfection modules are specifically designed for disinfecting treated effluent. The 3G unit has patented self cleaning technology, and also has no moving parts, meaning little supervision is needed for operation. Because of its modular design, these 3G units may be easily coupled in series or parallel with one another to deal with high flow rates. The 3G is designed to be permanently buried, and can be coupled directly to the effluent treatment plant’s discharge pipe or built into the treatment plant chamber.
The 3G unit is a unique design and has a proven track record, with over 10,000 units being sold around the world over the last 15 years. It has been challenge tested in several US states to ensure compliance and prove performance. It is available in either 240 V or 110 V to suit your site’s supply and having no moving parts, it is very easy to maintain. The 3G’s controller incorporates a set of volt free contacts for low UV intensity or fault monitoring, making it ideal for remote operation.
UVO3 Ltd are specialists in UV disinfection of all types of liquids (drinking water, process water and wastewater). Please contact us for further information. Reader Reply Card No 50
Trojan Technologies to Supply Australia’s Largest Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection System
LONDON, ONTARIO, CANADA – January 19, 2011 – Trojan Technologies and exclusive distributor in Australia, Aquatec-Maxcon PTY Ltd., have been selected by the Eastern Tertiary Alliance to provide the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system for the Eastern Treatment Plant Tertiary Upgrade Project in Melbourne, Australia. Trojan will be supplying seven closed vessel (in-pipe) UV reactors equipped with revolutionary TrojanUV Solo Lamp™ Technology. The UV system will disinfect average and peak tertiary treated effluent flows of 380 and 700 million liters (101 and 187 million gallons) per day respectively, making it the largest UV installation in Australia.
The objective of the upgrade project is to significantly improve the quality of treated water at the plant. This will further reduce the impact associated with the current discharge quality on the receiving marine environment Boags Rocks, near Gunnamatta Beach, as well as produce a high quality recycled water resource which can be used for a broader range
of non-potable recycling applications. These include residential third-pipe schemes (e.g. toilet flushing, garden watering, car washing), watering public gardens, open areas and sports grounds, and irrigating food crops.
“This is the kind of environmental solution we’re proud to be part of; one that will have immediate positive impact on aquatic life and recreational waters,” says Marv DeVries, president, Trojan Technologies. “We’re proud to have our new Solo Lamp™ selected and stand out as the disinfection technology of choice.”
The Owner, Melbourne Water, had specific requirements for this project, all of which were met by the successful team of
Trojan and Aquatec-Maxcon. These included: An energy efficient solution with the lowest UV lamp count • A sustainable water treatment solution with reduced carbon emissions • Local sales and service support personnel from a highly reputable manufacturer
• A state-of-the-art system that would undergo industry best practice validation and meet the delivery times set out by the project team
“Trojan is a company driven by innovation. Our flexible, customer-centered approach combined with Aquatec-Maxcon’s comprehensive local input enabled us to provide Melbourne Water with this leading-edge solution,” says Jennifer Muller, director, municipal markets, Trojan Technologies. “Further recognising that this would be the largest UV installation in Australia, this project was of paramount importance to Trojan in demonstrating our global leadership and strong commitment to addressing water scarcity issues around the world.”
Trojan Technologies (
www.trojanuv.com) designs, manufactures, and sells UV systems for municipal wastewater and drinking water facilities, as well as for the industrial, commercial and residential markets. The company also provides UV treatment for the removal of chemical contaminants from water. With over 6,500 municipal facilities in more than 80 countries using its technology, Trojan has the largest installed base of UV systems in the world. Headquartered in London, Ontario, Canada, the company also has offices in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, China, Australia and U.S.
