2024 Pump Industry Awards finalists revealed

Published: 20 February, 2024

Following yet another exhaustive Judging Session, which was held virtually on 31st January, the Finalists in the 2024 Pump Industry Awards have now been determined.

From the record number of entries received, and through some incredibly tight scoring, the Judges shortlisted 50 Finalists across the eight award categories to go through to the public vote. Those that were fortunate enough to be selected are as follows: -

Product of the Year

Sponsored by World Pumps

• Sabrina Magistro, BAKER HUGHES

• Darragh Carroll, CAMPION PUMPS

• Molly Sweeney, EAGLEBURGMANN INDUSTRIES UK

• Adam Ross, LEYBOLD

• Ben Warren, SPP PUMPS

• Kia Mousley, SULZER PUMPS WASTEWATER UK

• Jack Watson, VERDERFLEX

• Brooke Wheater, VERDER

Details of all these Finalists are now available to view on the dedicated awards website – www.pumpindustryawards.com/finalists.

The Winner’s Trophies will be awarded at the Gala Awards Dinner on 14th March at the Hilton at St George’s Park Hotel, Burton-on-Trent. Places are still available at this event.

To help deliver the 23rd staging of this key industry awards ceremony, we will this year be joined by Martin Bayfield, one of the most recognisable faces in British Rugby. At 6'10" Martin Bayfield was one of the tallest players in rugby, a gift he used to full advantage as one of England's most potent forwards. He enjoyed a successful international career, winning 31 England caps and two Grand Slams. He played in the World Cup in South Africa and was selected to represent the British Lions in New Zealand.

Since retiring, his height helped win him the part of Robbie Coltrane's body double as the giant Hagrid in the Harry Potter films, and he is now an established member of the commentary teams for BBC, ITV, Channel Five and BT Sport.

Places can be booked online at www.pumpindustryawards.com/book-tickets, and with a record number of tables booked already, it’s looking to be a great event.

Pump system optimisation
In the port city of Yeosu in South Korea, pump optimisation specialist RIVENTA says it has created significant savings at a global tyre manufacturer’s water pumping plant, including an annual energy reduction of 13%.
Expanded product range
WEGER AIR SOLUTIONS UK reports it has expanded its product range with the introduction of 5 models of heat pump to air heat recovery units. All of the units are ‘stand alone’ and only need electrical power, so are said to be ideal for applications where hot water, chilled water and gas are not available.
Pumps solutions
PWE reviews the concepts of mine water and mine water management as well as the most common pumping applications.
Extended Product Directive – a pump is not a light bulb
The aim of the EU Eco-Design Directive is to improve the environmental impact of energy-intensive products by optimising their design. Since pumps require a lot of energy, some inevitably fall within scope of this directive. Better design could significantly reduce their energy consumption. However, considerably more can be achieved if the pump is not viewed in isolation, but as part of the overall system along with its electric motor and controller.
Energy-reducing sludge solution
Progressive cavity pump specialist SEEPEX has developed a new system to improve dewatered sludge handling, enabling long distance transfer with reduced operational costs by using a combination of PC pump technology and dense-phase conveying.
