Wastewater pump for application on dewatering and effluent duties ABS has introduced the new IP 900 pump, which is capable of achieving a flow rate of 5 l/s at a maximum head of 11.7m. The pump replaces ABS’s current IP 700-1200 series. It is constructed in 316 stainless steel (SS) throughout – even the impeller – enabling it to pump corrosive media. The IP 900 can also handle solids-laden flows offering free passage of up to 30 mm in diameter thanks to its vortex impeller and hydraulic section. Typical applications for the pump include dewatering building sites, mines, emptying septic tanks or other containers, and handling effluent from locations below the backwash level in accordance with the DIN 1986 standard.
The high grade AISI 316 SS construction materials, combined with static seals made from Viton and a mechanical seal made of silicon carbide, enable the robust new pump to handle chemically contaminated wastewater and heavy agricultural duties, including pesticides, and duties on industrial outflow pipes. Available in manual or automatic versions, the IP 900 can operate up to a maximum temperature of 60°C. The motor is dynamically balanced with an inbuilt temperature monitor in the stator, which switches off the pump in the case of overheating. Optimum heat dissipation is achieved by sending the pumped medium around the motorhousing. Pumping gaseous abrasive particles

Micro pump for low flow dosing applications
possible by the vortex hydraulics laid out on the IP 900 design. According to the manufacturers, this design also enables fibrous material to be passed straight through the pump allowing uninterrupted operational flow. The discharge outlet on the new pump is 2”. Maximum weight and cable length is 12 kg and 10m respectively. A float can be specified to assist end-user operation and prevent the pump from running dry and, according to the manufacturers, there are a range of fittings to enable easy mounting and installation. There are two models in the pump range – the IP 900 W/KS and IP 900 D. Both share a 1.5 kW motor and all other characteristics, except the voltage and electrical current
Designed for microfluidic systems and other extremely low flow dosing applications, the mzr- pump series from HNP Mikrosysteme can now pump at 50 µl/min up to a maximum flow of 5 l/min. According to the manufacturers, the updated pump can handle high pressures and be specified with a rotor size of just 1mm,

rising to a maximum rotor size of 18 mm. Typical applications for the mzrpump include foodstuffs and beverages and indeed any application that has to move highly viscous product – for example, handling thick creams or jams in the food industry. www.worldpumps.com - RES No.202

New tubing for transfer applications Swagelok® is now offering two new lines of instrumentation tubing for pipe and steam applications in the oil & gas, hydrocarbon, and chemical processing industries – insulated tubing and jacketed tubing. The new introductions will be suitable for use with hoseconnected peristaltic pump systems on arduous duties.
HNP Mikrosysteme has launched the mzr- pump series for microfluidic systems in the food and beverage industry or indeed any application where highly viscous product has to be transferred.
The new IP 900 solids-handling pump from ABS is constructed in 316 stainless steel and can handle arduous dewatering duties in mines or building sites.
The new Swagelok insulated tubing is intended as an alternative to field-installed insulation on small diameter process lines. It can reduce heat loss, claim the manufacturers, and help protect personnel from hot process and steam lines. Surrounded by fibrous glass, absorption-resistant insulation, and a thermoplastic jacket, the tubing can be used in steam supply, condensate return, gas and liquid transport lines, or
other applications in which weatherproofing and energy conservation are important. The new jacketed tubing offers corrosion and mechanical protection in pneumatic, hydraulic, and other applications where insulation is not required. Both the insulated tubing and jacketed tubing feature a thermoplastic, UV-resistant PVC jacket (rather than a standard PVC jacket), which provides increased protection against galvanic and atmospheric corrosion, claim the manufacturers. The durable coating should also help protect the tube against wear and abrasion. The tubing can be specified in sizes ranging from 6 to 12 mm (¼ to ½”). www.worldpumps.com - RES No.203
