www.worldpumps.com WORLD PUMPS October 2013 Product news 4 Grant for centrifugal molten sulphur pump Amarinth which specialises in the design, application and manufac- ture of centrifugal pumps and associated equipment to the Oil & Gas, petrochemical, chemical and industrial markets, has been awarded a £250,000 grant from the UK’s innovation agency, the Technology Strategy Board to invest in the further development of a design and production process to produce highly energy efficient pumps and leverage this work to launch an energy effi- cient molten sulphur pump for the petro-chemical industry. Amarinth has been working for some time on developing a cost effective and rapid process for the design and manufacture of bespoke best efficiency point (BEP) optimised impellers that can be produced on short lead times and at an acceptable commercial cost for use in industrial pumping applications. The centrifugal pumps used throughout industry are often a ‘best fit’ selection for a given application from a standard range of pumps and the majority of pumps in use today do not run at their BEP and energy inefficien- cies of up to 25% can often be found. Work undertaken by Amarinth to date has proven that being able to provide optimised impellers will reduce annual CO2 emissions in the company’s target market by 17,000 tonnes by 2020 and 110,000 tonnes by 2050. www.amarinth.com 50 th anniversary event Celebrated at Busch Hyghspin twin-screw pump overview at drinktec 2013 Busch employees for a VIP recep- tion and tour.

More than 800 assembled pumps since 2009 are a clear proof that Jung Process Systems took the right measures from that time on. The pump program nowadays consists of two series, Hyghspin and Hygh- spin DF, for transport capacities between 30 l/h and 200 m3/h as well as feed pressures up to 50 bar. Together with their international sales and service partners Jung Process Systems offers the Hygh- spin pumps now also as pre- assembled units with peripheral equipment such as control tech- Ian Graves, managing director for Busch (UK) Vacuum pump, blower and vacuum systems manufacturer Busch is celebrating its 50th anni- versary this year with a series of customer focused events at facili- ties all around the globe.
