Billions of Dollars in Energy Could Be Lost Annually Due to Poor Motor Sizing
WEG Electric Motors Corp. (www.weg.net), a leading global supplier of motors, drives, controls, generators, and transformers, explains how proper motor sizing could easily save vast amounts of energy. Energy efficiency losses through over-sizing of pump electric motors by engineers are commonplace and, if the motor specification far exceeds the application, it could be costing industry billions of dollars in wasted energy. "Industry figures suggest that around 80% of pump motors could be the incorrect size," commented Andrew Glover, Product Manager for WEG Motors. "The majority are over specified by as much as 10 or 15% by engineers wanting to be 'on the safe side.' As pumps typically account for around 30% of an industrial country's energy usage, this represents a serious loss of energy."

High Plant Maintenance Costs and the Need to Improve the Key Performance Indicators Lead to Continued Growth in EAM Solutions
The world enterprise asset management systems (EAM) market for process industries has experienced continued growth, especially with high plant maintenance costs fueling spending on EAM systems. In order to sustain this growth, EAM systems vendors would have to compete fiercely to offer innovative and cost-effective solutions to multinational as well as small and medium businesses (SMBs). The ability to increase presence in the Asia Pacific and Latin American regions would also open numerous lucrative market opportunities. "The ability of EAM systems to reduce plant downtime and the manufacturing costs remains the primary driver for the world EAM systems markets," notes Frost and Sullivan. "The growing need to adhere regulatory issues, implementation of best practices, and the increased penetration of enterprise wide IT systems will likely propel the growth of this market."

Superior Energy Performance Partnership
The board of directors of Pump Systems Matter™ (PSM), an educational foundation designed to help North American pump users gain competitive business advantages through pump system energy management and performance optimization, today announced its endorsement of the Department of Energy (DOE) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) "Superior Energy Performance" partnership. The Superior Energy Performance partnership is a collaboration of industry, government, and non-profit organizations that seek to improve the energy intensity of U.S. manufacturing by 25% by 2017 through voluntary initiatives.

Compressed Air Hose
STRONGSVILLE, OH: Compressed Air Hose (CAH) is designed and specially-formulated to withstand the demanding requirements of air compressors. Every part of the new CAH line is specially designed - from the inner tube of Nitrile synthetic rubber, to the wire and fiber reinforcement and the outer fiber braid cover. The result is a compressed air hose with superior fluid compatibility for all air compressor applications. The new CAH line is compatible with all Parker 26 Series Parkrimp fittings. Available in sizes from -4 (3/16-in.) to -40 (2 3/8-in.). --- Parker Hannifin Corp., Industrial Hose Div.

Rupture Panel for Hygienic and Sanitary Operations
BROKEN ARROW, OK: To provide precision pressure relief for applications where hygiene and sanitation are concerns, Oklahoma Safety Equipment Co., Inc. (Oseco), a leader in pressure relief innovation, introduces the MVRB (Metal Vent Reverse Buckling) rupture panel. The MVRB can avert catastrophic explosions caused by overpressures in dust collectors, conveyor systems, dryers and other equipment requiring precise pressure relief. Its smooth surface prevents product buildup and contamination, making it well-suited for hygienic and sanitary services. The non-fragmenting design increases process safety in the event of panel rupture. The MVRB is compatible with a wide range of environments, performing consistently in high temperature applications up to 700°F. The MVRB is designed for high operating ratio applications in the power generation, pharmaceutical, transportation and chemical markets. It is the only rupture panel available that has a 90% operating ratio - a design feature that is essential in demanding applications in order to avoid premature panel rupture. --- Oseco Inc.

Two-Wire, Loop-Power Level Switch
SAN MARCOS, CA: Process and plant engineers will find the rugged NuTec® LS2000 Level Switch from Fluid Components International (FCI) provides highly reliable level monitoring and interface control in demanding process industries that require precise measurement, low maintenance, long-life and low instrument cost-of-ownership. The LS2000 Level Switch is designed for two-wire, 4 to 20 mA loop power that allows the LS2000 to serve as a drop-in replacement for other two-wire mechanical float and paddle switches without any wiring modifications during plant retrofit projects, which simplifies installation and reduces cost. The LS2000 is also available for 115/230 Vac or 24 Vdc input power and a 6A relay output. --- Fluid Components Intl.
