IN FOCUS

Water treatment is a vital process to protect the environment, and the waste water treatment plant in Tallinn, Estonia, has a key role in the environmental protection of the Baltic Sea. ABS delivered pumps, mixers and agitators for the refurbishment of the plant in 1998. A further shipment has just been made with a follow-up order for the main pumping station, including two of the largest submersible pumps ever built.

The Jung Pumpen’s Pump Engineering Program PEP has been released in the 5th version now. The new PEP is available in English and German.

Frankenthal-based KSB is introducing a newly engineered multistage pump for the leakless-pump sector. While that segment of the market is becoming more and more important, it is still extensively populated by single-stage pump sets which are of simpler design but markedly poorer efficiency. From the end of February, Multimagno mag-drive pumps covering discharge heads of = 150 m and flow rates of = 30 m3/h will be significantly enhancing that segment.

The domains VOGEL-LABOR.DE and RHEOMETRIE.DE point to the new web site of the VOGEL-LABOR.

The R. VOGEL – RESEARCH LABORATORY takes on research and development tasks as well as complex engineering services and the evaluation of available machine and plant studies.

The lab provides competent consultancy and assessment with expert’s knowledge.

A special focus of the research points to rheometrical investigations of all “debris fluids” (mixtures of fluids and solids) independent from the type of binder.
