Mono Provides EZstrip Pumps For Sludge Facility

Southern Water has installed six Mono EZstrip maintain-in-place pumps at its sludge treatment centre (STC) in Millbrook. After seeing the performance benefits of the EZstrip pump, which can reportedly be de-ragged in 21.5 minutes and fully stripped down and maintained in just 30 minutes, Southern Water replaced its remaining pumps, which included models from another PC pump manufacturer, with five more EZstrip pumps.

They have been installed to transfer sludges at different stages in the process, including centrifuge feed, digester feed and cake dilution. The Mono EZstrip progressing cavity pump is an extension of the Mono Compact C range. The EZstrip has been designed to disassemble, de-rag and maintain a PC pump in situ, eliminating the costly maintenance and downtime that servicing can often cause. The pump can be installed into new plants or retrofitted into existing Mono Compact C installations.

No electrical disconnection is required and suction and discharge pipes remain untouched. The EZstrip pump offers dry-run protection and all operational parameters are unaffected. The model range has a capacity of up to 165m3/h and 12bar pressure and is available in either cast iron or stainless steel. WRAS-compliant elastomers are incorporated into the manufacture of this pump; a preassembled drive train with two-year warranty is also available.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
