New HVAC pump includes New sewer system suits enhanced safety features Australian homes’ needs Hartell has launched a new version of its PlenumPlus commercial grade condensate pump. Additional safety features have been built into the pump which is used to remove condensate formed in venting and air ducts in the plenum spaces of offices, manufacturing facilities, schools, hospitals and other commercial buildings. It has successfully passed United Laboratories’ 2043 Fire Test for Heat and Visible Smoke Release for Discrete Products Installed in Air-Handling Spaces. The materials used to construct the pump are fire-resistant, with low-smoke-producing characteristics, as outlined in the National Electric Code, NFPA 70; the International Mechanical Code, NFPA 5000; and the Standard for the
More than 900 houses in Australia are having their ageing septic tanks replaced with a new system from NOV Mono.

Hartell says the latest version of the PlenumPlus features enhanced pumping capacity and three new levels of motor bearing protection .It also has a larger reservoir, plus new serviceable check valves which Hartell says offer a wider range of installation options and are easier to maintain. ww.hartell.com www.plenumpluspumps.com
Southern Water chose the company’s InviziQ pressure sewer system which was preferred for its ease of construction, and ability to restrict ground water infiltration at the development in Lauderdale, Tasmania. The high water table and flat, sandy terrain of the area meant that a traditional gravity-fed sewerage system was unsuitable. “Because it does not need gravity to operate, it offers the freedom to install sewers in any area, irrespective of the terrain, slope, environmental sensitivity or topography and that is ideal for the Lauderdale area,” said Richard Pacholek, Mono’s industrial segment manager for pressure sewer systems.
The InviziQ system can be installed either in narrow trenches or via directional drilling. It has a storage tank of 900 litres, a progressing cavity pump incorporating a macerator and an automatic electronic controller which regulates the flow, monitors fluid levels and protects the pump The system also features a Dry Well, which keeps the pump motor, fluid level sensor and electrical systems separate from the fluid being pumped. www.monopumps.com.au

KBL heeds Prime Minister’s “Make in India” appeal New full stroke diaphragm suitable for hygienic use models, 49 hydraulics and 206 frames.
Features include a cable bracket for wrapping the cable around the body and a potting cup restricts water from entering the pump. The new i-NS Pump is designed to be non-clog and sewage submersible .
Global fluid management company Kirloskar Brothers (KBL) has launched a new pump entirely made in India. The i-NS pump is sewage submersible and designed to be non-clog as well as operating maintenance-free. KBL says the integrated design for major components reduces the total number of parts and minimizes the fasteners. It has 13 www.worldpumps.com
The new product follows a call by Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for more firms to “make in India.” “The indigenous development of technologically-advanced i–NS has been an enriching experience,” said KBL managing director Sanjay Kirloskar.
Wilden has announced the release of its new Full-Stroke Integral Piston Diaphragm. The United States-based company says the 76 mm (3”) FSIPD fits its Saniflo FDA pumps as well as its Original, Advanced and Advanced FIT series of air-operated doublediaphragm pumps. Made from food-grade Santoprene thermoplastic, it is suitable for
According to Wilden, the result is a durable, cleanable diaphragm assembly that features a large integral piston and a full-stroke shaft that enables it to maintain the same stroke length as conventional Wilden diaphragms. The design increases product displacement per stroke, which the company says means improved suction lift, greater flow rates and higher efficiency.

hygienic applications. The integral piston is completely encapsulated within the TPE material, meaning there is no outer piston that can trap fluid and particles.
The new FSIP diaphragm is suitable for hygienic applications.
