In designing the new 12” dewatering and sewage pump, the BA300E, BBA Pumps has focused on a small footprint by reducing the product’s dimensions. With a length and width around 3 x 1 m (122 x 41 in), the BA300E’s high performance is delivered through: a capacity to 1,250 m3/hr and 19 mwc/5,500 GPM and 63 ft. (27 PSI); a semi-open impeller with a free solids passage of no less than 120 x 105 mm; and dry self-priming through the MP100 vacuum pump (100 m3/hr - 59 CFM).

Pump check valve
Flomatic Corporation has introduced a new 1” variable-frequency drive (VFD) special-patented pump check valve designed for use with VFD-controlled submersible pumps. Standard check valves will “chatter” and be noisy when a VFD goes to low-flow conditions, causing premature wear and eventual failure. The Model 100E VFD and 100ES VFD valve are designed to minimize flow losses and hydraulic shocks in the pumping system. In addition, both the inlet and outlet threaded area allow for longer pipe threads.

Correlator
FCS’s new Touch Pro correlator accurately locates leaks in traditionally difficult situations, such as on plastic or large-diameter pipes. Its intuitive interface with step-by-step instructions guides users through the correlation process with minimal training required. Acoustic data is transmitted back to the correlator from two outstations attached magnetically to valves at different points along the pipeline. The new correlator then uses an Automated Filtering Intelligence System to ensure an accurate interpretation, which automatically runs up to 55 different filter combinations on each correlation.
