Hydraulic Institute seeks reviewers for new standards
Chief operating officer for Spirax-Sarco
Jan Stoop joins KSB board of management
The US Hydraulic Institute (HI), under the approval of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), is seeking qualified individuals to participate in the review process of two newly completed standards: for rotodynamic (centrifugal and vertical) intake design pumps, and for rotary pumps for types and nomenclature.
Spirax-Sarco has appointed Mark Vernon to the newly established position of chief operating officer (COO) reporting to the chief executive, Marcus Steel. Vernon will be responsible for the day to day delivery of the group’s operating results and the operating management of the Spirax Sarco and WatsonMarlow Bredel businesses will report to him. He will relocate to the UK as a result of this appointment and will continue with his existing responsibilities.
The Supervisory Board of KSB AG has nominated Jan Stoop, managing director of the Dutch KSB subsidiary DP industries B.V., to become a member of the board of management. He will take over the duties of Dr. Willi Enderle in Frankenthal, who previously held board of management responsibility for sales. Dr. Willi Enderle and the supervisory board of KSB Aktiengesellschaft agreed by mutual consent to bring the activities of Dr. Enderle as member of the board of management to a close, because he would like to turn his attention to new career challenges.
The rotodynamic standard was designed as a tool in implementing process safety management, as well as general pump availability improvement programs, for Rotodynamic (Centrifugal and Vertical) pumps, including both sealed and sealless pump designs. “This standard has been extensively updated to include additional text material and figures that clarify or otherwise improve the existing standard material. The Intake Design
Standard is now to be based on the maximum pump flow rate, not the pump rated flow,” explained Gregg Romanyshyn, technical director for the HI. The rotary pump standard applies to industrial/commercial rotary positive displacement pumps. It includes: types and nomenclature; definitions; design and application; and installation, operation, and maintenance. It does not include standards on magnetic drives for sealless pumps nor rotary pumps primarily used for fluid power applications. “This standard has been updated to include cross sections, capability table, range chart, basic pump descriptions and revised figures,” said Romanyshyn. To participate, contact Karen Anderson, administrator, technical affairs at [email protected].
Verbon joined the group in May 2003 as president of Spirax Sarco Inc in the USA and came onto the board of Spirax-Sarco Engineering plc in July 2006 with responsibility for the operations in the Americas and for group marketing. “This appointment is designed to help us continue to develop and expand the Group’s worldwide activities,” said Steel.
EMS wins utility framework agreement Ram pump manufacturer, EMS Industries Ltd, has been awarded a three-year Framework Agreement by United Utilities.
ERIKS creates UK sealing company ERIKs has launched a new company, ERIKS Sealing Technology, with its Wyko established seals business in the UK. WYKO’s mature seals business in the UK currently has a 4% UK market share but with the launch of ERIKS Sealing Technology it plans to have a 10% market share in 2010,
which represents a turnover of around £25 million. The creation of the company includes the establishing of a Sealing Technology Centre. ERIKS is investing £500,000 in simulation software and test and analysis equipment and is also investing in staff. “Our staffing levels have already increased from 40 people to 60 and will eventually level off around the 80 mark. The recruitment has brought in PhD’s, material technologists, chemists, design specialists and testing technicians, as well as people who are already working in the field,” said John Weston, MD of ERIKS Sealing Technology. “The ERIKS Sealing Technology UK centre has just undergone a £500k investment programme for more advanced simulation

software and additional test and analysis equipment to build upon its UK dynamic seal testing capability,” Rick Treharne, MD of ERIKS Sealing Technology, told World Pumps. ERIKS has more than 50 years experience in the production and distribution of O-rings and elastomeric seals, as well as producing and distributing gaskets, rubber products, engineering plastics, valves and hoses. “ERIKS is a 900m company, and with over 160m in sealing technology product sales.” added Treharne. “By replicating ERIKS’ size, presence and positioning throughout the rest of Europe, ERIKS Sealing Technology UK can build on the proven successes and become the organisation customers come to first.”
The award follows a competitive tender exercise to appoint Framework suppliers for the most regularly purchased pumps, pump parts and associated equipment. “Framework agreements arose out of a need by the water authorities to procure substantial amounts of capital machinery & equipment to satisfy the demands of The Water Services Regulation Authority (OFWAT),” John Nash, MDof EMS Industries Ltd, told World Pumps. EMS has also received Framework awards from Severn Trent Water, Scottish Water and major contracts for Yorkshire Water.
