IN FOCUS

With the aim of providing a solution that exceeds excellence for irrigation and industrial applications, during the recent IFAT 2014 (München – Germany) Rovatti Pompe has presented to the market the latest generation of horizontal and vertical multistage electric pumps in microcasted stainless steel MEKX80-70 series that extends the already wide range of surface electric pumps fielded by the Company.

Magnetic drive pumps offer high levels of liquid and vapour containment and are a highly effective solution for a great many challenging applications, in particular handing liquefied gases. Such applications are now being addressed by AxFlow with its Aturia SDTM pump range.

In July 2014, the KSB Group will launch a new shut-off butterfly valve, which also functions as a check valve. It is manufactured in nominal sizes ranging from DN 500 to DN 1400 for pressure classes PN 6 to PN 40.

When precise, reliable flow control is required in challenging high temperature applications, for example in the chemical, oil and gas and pharmaceutical industries, Badger Meter control valves are an ideal choice.

Xylem continues to develop its monitoring and control portfolio of solutions with the launch of two new micro controllers. Flygt MyConnect and Flygt MyConnect Wall enable customers to supervise and control water or wastewater operations easily and efficiently.

The latest addition to the established Micropump range of compact, lightweight pumps is the CA Series centrifugal pump from Michael Smith Engineers which is ideally suited to high-flow, liquid handling applications where magnetic drive, leak free pumping will be appreciated.

Xylem has launched an electromagnetic flow metre under its Flygt brand that is highly accurate, even with slow flows, easy to operate and flexible. Flygt MagFlux EMF 801 is the latest addition to Xylem’s portfolio of monitoring and control (M&C) solutions, enabling operators to gain an accurate understanding of the wastewater flow.

Early this May, KSB Aktiengesellschaft will launch a fully automatic submersible pump called Ixo-Pro. Being particularly easy to install makes this pump an ideal solution for all rainwater harvesting and pressure boosting applications.

Xylem Inc. has launched a new retrievable aeration grid system that delivers superior aeration efficiency in wastewater treatment plants. Xylem’s Sanitaire Eco-lift retrievable aeration grid features an innovative new design and utilises high efficiency Sanitaire Gold and Silver Series diffusers, reducing both the capital and life cycle costs associated with aeration systems.

A particularly economical disinfection solution which can be used to safely disinfect water in an environmentally-friendly process in line with demand was introduced at IFAT.
