LMV-801S Pump Named a Finalist in the "Environmental Contribution of the Year" Category, due to its Unrivaled Ability to Eliminate Leaks and Safely Handle Hazardous Pump Services
EASTBOURNE, East Sussex , Feb. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sundyne's HMD Kontro today announced that its LMV- 801S pump has been named an "Environmental Contribution" finalist for the 2023 Pump Industry Awards (PIA). The LMV-801S is a sealless magnetic drive pump that is widely used in refineries and petrochemical plants to safely and cleanly handle hydrocarbons and chemical catalysts that are required to make fuels and products that people use every day.
Founded by the BPMA in 2000, the Pump Industry Awards celebrate the achievements of pump companies that stand out in the areas of technology, projects, distribution, supply chains, training and environmental contributions. Finalists, and the eventual winners are judged by a panel of independent experts using a comprehensive point scoring system, as well as an external voting process, which begins today. Finalists in each category were recently announced, and the Sundyne HMD Kontro LMV-801S pump was named a Finalist in the Environmental Contribution category.
The LMV-801S is an API-compliant, sealless magnetic drive pump that is specifically designed to handle fluids that are dangerous to the environment. More than 70 LMV-801S pumps are deployed around the globe in refineries and petrochemical plants, for applications that are difficult to seal – such as high suction pressure or extremely low temperature applications. Any hydrocarbon or chemical liquid pumped through the LMV-801S is fully confined within the pump's liquid boundary, with no potential for leaks or emissions - making the LMV-801S an ideal solution for sites that need to comply with higher environmental and safety standards.
In addition to ensuring Environmental Health & Safety, the LMV-801S is energy efficient and significantly less expensive to maintain than sealed-pump alternatives. The sealless design of the LMV-801S eliminates the need for a mechanical seal and seal support system, reducing maintenance, OPEX and total lifecycle costs. The LMV-801S features a baske-wheel hydraulic that optimizes efficiency for challenging low-flow pump services. The pump can also be supplied with the non-metallic Zeroloss Containment Shell, which eliminates magnetic coupling losses and helps to reduce energy consumption by as much as 20% compared to traditional metallic containment shell designs.
As nations strive towards cleaner energy, the influx of renewable inputs - such as various bio-diesel alternatives - are becoming more prevalent. The Sundyne HMD Kontro LMV-801S pump is widely used in refineries around the globe, many of which are modernizing their plants and adding Bio-Diesel units. The LMV-801S offers a simple upgrade path to replace aging and non-compliant mechanical sealed pumps to bring plants in line with current environmental regulations.
"The downturn in demand and subsequent recovery through the pandemic has caused refineries around the globe to change their processes, and many plants are using this shift as an opportunity to upgrade their pumps to cleaner, safer and more energy efficient technologies, such as the LMV-801S," said HMD Kontro's Product Line Manager Hannah Verrall .
"In recent months, we've seen a significant increase in inquiries for the LMV-801S from existing customers, as well as new opportunities to replace aging competitive pumps from operators at refineries and petrochemical plants," added HMD's Business Development Manager Charlie St Laurence . "The LMV-801S offers a compelling upgrade solution - eliminating seals & seal support systems reduces maintenance costs and the pump's increased reliability saves on operating costs. The LMV-801S also offers a leak-free solution that complies with updated environmental regulations and improves safety for site personnel. We thank the Pump Industry Awards for recognizing these benefits, and we think this recognition validates the feedback we've been receiving from customers and prospects."
An external voting process opened today, to complement the PIA's internal judging. Customers, partners, operators, maintenance personnel and any other interested party can vote for Sundyne HMD by visiting: https://www.pumpindustryawards.com/. The voting period will extend until 5:00 PM on February 15th .

Here are three big things to watch as the event unfolds.
Lockheed Martin's mobile rocket launcher plant in Camden, Arkansas is gearing up to boost production of the HIMARS system after its success on the battlefield in Ukraine drove up demand from other nations, executives said on Monday. The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is now a widely recognized weapon after mobile phone camera footage of the war in Ukraine showed the launchers in action. "When you have a combat proven system that is out there and in the news - daily - then that's driving that demand," said Jennifer McManus, the vice president for operations of Lockheed's missile business.

Armed with billions of dollars, the Biden administration is embarking on the biggest transformation of the U.S. consumer driving landscape in generations, hoping to blanket the nation's highways with electric vehicle chargers. The goal is to grow the nationwide network of chargers to 500,000, including high-speed chargers - no more than 50 miles apart - on some 75,000 miles of the nation's busiest highways and interstates. The chargers are a critical piece of President Joe Biden's climate policy and his goal of having 50% of all new U.S. vehicle sales be electric by 2030.
Weeks after a train derailment near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border left hazardous chemicals burning from railcars, fears of the potential impacts are being felt in places far from the accident. Grocery chain Giant Eagle, with hundreds of stores in five states including Ohio and Pennsylvania, pulled bottled water off shelves out of an “abundance of caution” because it was bottled 25 miles from the derailment. Two high school basketball teams elsewhere in Ohio forfeited games rather than venturing to the region to play.

Energy stocks outperformed last year, with the sector generally gaining 59% in a year when the S&P 500 dropped 19%. That’s serious performance, the kind that will always delight investors, and it has traders and analysts alike watching the energy sector closely in this first quarter of 2023. So far, the energy sector is holding back from the action. Inflation appears to be cooling and the Federal Reserve has indicated that it may take a slower pace for future interest rate hikes, both developmen
The current economic situation is turbulent for investors, to say the least. From the threat of a looming recession to high inflation, current market conditions mean that it is becoming increasingly difficult for investors to predict what’s happening next. Wall Street’s analysts, however, are up to the task, and from BMO, chief investment strategist Brian Belski has noted some important factors that investors will need to consider. First, in Belski’s view, is the fact that bear markets typically
