Water pumping stations are a crucial part of the UK’s water infrastructure and effective flow monitoring is just one of the essential stages in their overall operation. Whilst it is difficult to pinpoint an exact number of water pumping stations in the UK, there are at least tens of thousands when considering both public and private systems. Flow monitoring is a crucial requirement in pumping stations and other similar industrial water handling applications, helping to ensure efficient operation, optimising performance whilst preventing more serious potential problems. Accessing real-time data provides operators with continuous data on flow rates, pump performance and well levels, allowing for immediate assessment and response. Data from flow monitoring helps identify issues such as pump cavitation or rising main problems enabling proactive maintenance and the prevention of expensive breakdowns. Flow monitoring data can be used for regulatory compliance demonstrating compliance with current regulations, particularly regarding permitted storm and sewage overflows, something very much in the public domain at this time. Cost reductions are always welcomed, and efficient flow management can significantly reduce operational costs and energy consumption. The Baumer group is a leading manufacturer of sensors, encoders, measuring instruments and components for automated image processing, a range which includes flow monitoring sensors for industrial water applications. A good example of this is its PFM43, a compact, yet robust and reliable electromagnetic immersion flow meter developed for handling highpressure applications up to 100 bar and pipe diameters up to DN2000. t| 01793 783839 e| sales.uk@baumer.com w| www.baumer.com/c/47766 Industry Update August/September 2025 Plant & Works Engineering www.pwemag.co.uk | 39 New energy efficient PowerPack Firetube Boilers Electromagnetic flow meter Effective monitoring of critical infrastructure is an essential requirement across the power generation, oil, gas and petrochem industries where smooth running and trouble-free system operation is vital, especially in today’s highly competitive and energy cost-conscious environment. Condition monitoring specialist SENSONICS is an expert in developing highly effective monitoring systems based on over 50 years of experience, including vibration monitoring products. A good example of this is the recent completion of a cooling tower monitoring project at a major petrochemicals plant. The Project Engineer at the site confirmed they were looking for a suitable system to monitor and protect cooling tower fans to prevent issues in case of failure of the fan blades. The requirement would be for individual systems to monitor each of the twenty motor / gearbox driven fans which were located between the motors and fans around the base of the cooling tower. Confirmation of these specific issues and challenges initially suggested the need to install a suitably ranged 4-20mA vibration transducer and then feed this to a closely located unit that had the start / stop buttons for the fans, enabling the tripping of a fan if the vibration was too high. Once the specific requirements of this vibration monitoring application were confirmed, Sensonics was able to suggest and supply a combination of its DN26 G3 dual channel protection system along with its VEL/GLF low frequency (slow speed) velocity transducers. Established in the condition monitoring market for many years Sensonics has supplied thousands of these compact and innovative, din rail mountable DN26 G3 dual channel vibration monitors which have delivered reliable and cost-effective vibration monitoring across a wide range of installations. This high performance fully programmable signal conditioning unit is capable of monitoring 2 channels of absolute vibration, shaft vibration or shaft position, while a third channel option is available for measuring speed or for use a phase reference. t| 01442 876833 e: sales@sensonics.co.uk w| www.sensonics.co.uk/www.sensonics.co.uk/vibration-position-onitoring Vibration monitoring package From small beginnings Industrial process heating equipment and solutions specialist Babcock Wanson Group has launched the PowerPack firetube boiler series which combines the latest technology in boiler design with very high efficiency, resulting in low operating costs and reduced emissions that not only meet the latest European environmental legislation, but can exceed it when fitted with Babcock Wanson combustion equipment. Babcock Wanson manufactures the boiler, burner, combustion control system and boiler controls providing a single point of responsibility. Available for steam outputs from 10,000 kg/h to 34,000 kg/h, PowerPack’s high performance is attributable to the precise match between the combustion head and burner for meticulous control of excess air throughout the modulating range and minimum start/stop cycles. It has also been designed for low electrical consumption, thanks to the very low gas side pressure drop. t| 020 8953 7111 e| info@babcock-wanson.com w| https://www.babcock-wanson.com/ products/fire-tube-steam-boilers/powerpack/
