Design software for piping systems US-based Engineered Software, Inc has released the newest version of its release of Pipe-Flo® Professional 2009 software. The program, which is designed to visualise fluid piping systems, can also calculate system operations, communicate the design with others, and access supporting documents in electronic format. It integrates with the company’s pump selection tool Pump-Flo, allowing system designers to specify and select exactly which pump would work best in their piping system. Additions to the new version include an operating cost calculator, customizable Flo-Sheets and control valve rapid entry. The operating cost calculator is used to determine pump operating costs over a defined period. Users choose a system configuration, select their time frame and energy costs per unit, and can compare different lineup options. This new tool provides a way to see how much

operating costs would change if an alteration were made to the systems design, without having to physically make changes to the system.
With the control valve rapid entry, users can generate complete characteristic curve data from a single flow coefficient and valve
position by selecting from a list of valve design and flow characteristics. www.eng-software.com
Addition to ProCam range SPX has launched a new positive displacement pump in its ProCam range – the ProCam Smart. The pump is available in four models offering flow rates ranging from 5 l/h to 500 l/h and is suitable for pressures up to 20 bar. It is designed for a wide range of general purpose metering duties where both non-hazardous and hazardous liquids are to
be handled and uses standard components throughout.

The ProCam Smart is a hermetically closed pump containing a mechanically operated PTFE double diaphragm arrangement. The performance status can be monitored, making it suitable for duties where leakage cannot be tolerated for health and safety reasons, or where product loss
All wetted components are made from stainless steel. The cast iron gear box contains a splash lubricated integrated worm wheel/shaft reduction gear type constructed from metallic components. www.spxprocessequipment.com

ABS introduces submersible mixer for sludge for the major mixing functions during the homogenization of sludge and slurry.
ABS’s submersible mixer for free mixing.
ABS Group has developed the submersible mixer RW 480, which has been specifically designed www.worldpumps.com
The mixer is equipped with a special self-cleaning two-blade propeller for blockage free mixing. A strong rotating turbulent flow is produced in radial and axial direction and the propellers combine all properties for the homogenization of sewage sludge.
ABS says that the RW 480 incorporates bearings with a calculated life of more than 100,000 operating hours and a gear box built for continous operation. There is also a waterpressure-tight encapsulated three-phase motor available at speeds of both 7.50 kW and 11.0 kW. The motor is equipped with a Thermo control system that protects the motor from
overheating and automatically shutting it down before damage can occur. The ABS submersible mixer RW 480 is suitable for the mixing of viscous fluids containing solids in sewage treatment plants, biogas power plants, industry as well as agriculture. www.abspumps.com
