GWT Factory School in-person training courses will resume in September and take place at the Campbell Education Center laboratory in Seneca Falls, New York.

When a solid object enters the inlet of a conventional pump, it tends to get caught on the leading edges of the impeller vanes. But if an object gets caught on the leading edge of one of the impeller vanes of the Flygt 3069, it will slide along the backswept shape towards the perimeter of the inlet. The solid object will slide along the tip of the impeller vane inside the relief groove. The guide pin in the insert ring will push solids away from the centre of the impeller, along the leading edge and out through the relief groove. If the debris is bulky, the Adaptive N impeller moves axially upward to allow it to pass through.

Hatenboer-Water installs water treatment on unmanned platform Offshore facility presents new challenges. Dutch water treatment specialist Hatenboer-Water has delivered a customised freshwater system for a leading construction company who produce offshore wind turbine platforms. The project included the design, engineering, construction and installation of a complete water treatment package. With this commission, Hatenboer-Water installed its first water treatment system in the unmanned platforms market. Unmanned offshore turbine platforms operate independently and require water supply

for technical applications such as oil and water separation; deck cleaning; and sanitary facilities, including the required emergency shower. The platform has recently been installed at its location in the wind turbine park on the German side of the North Sea. www.hatenboer-water.com
