CHAPTER-I
INTRODUCTION
"Cash, like the blood stream in the human body, gives vitality and strength to a
business enterprises." Though cash hold the smallest portion of total current assets.
However, "Cash is both the beginning and end of working capital cycle - cash,
inventories, receivables and cash." it is the cash, which keeps the business going.
Hence, every enterprises has to hold necessary cash for its existence. Moreover,
"Steady and healthy circulation of cash throughout the entire business operations is the
basis of business solvency." Now-a-days non-availability and high cost of money have
created a serious problem for industry. Nevertheless, cash like any other asset of a
company is treated as a tool of profit." Further, "today the emphasis is on the right
amount of cash, at the right time, at the right place and at the right cost." In the words
of R.R. Bari, "Maintenance of surplus cash by a company unless there are special
reasons for doing so, is regarded as a bad sigh of cash management." As, "holding of
cash balance has an implicit cost in the form of its opportunity cost."
Cash may be interpreted under two concepts. In narrow sense, "Cash is very important
business asset, but although coin and paper currency can be inspected and handled, the
major part of the cash of most enterprises is in the form of bank checking accounts,
which represent claims to money rather than tangible property." While in broader
sense, "Cash consists of legal tender, cheques, bank drafts, money orders and demand
deposits in banks. In general, nothing should be considered unrestricted cash unless it is
available to the management for disbursement of any nature.
" Thus, from the above quotations we may conclude that in narrow sense cash means
cash in hand and at bank but in wider sense, it is the deposit in banks, currency,
cheques, bank draft etc. in addition to cash in hand and at bank. "Cash management
includes management of marketable securities also, because in modern terminology
money comprises marketable securities and actual cash in hand or in bank."
The concept of cash management is not new and it has acquired a greater significance
in the modern world of business due to change that took place in the conduct of
business and ever increasing difficulties and the cost of borrowing." Apart from the fact
that it is the most liquid current assets, cash is the common denominator to which all
current assets can be reduced because the other current assets i.e. receivables and
inventory get eventually converted into cash. This underlines the significance of cash
management
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The term cash management refers to the management of cash resource in such a way
that generally accepted business objectives could be achieved. In this context, the
objectives of a firm can be unified as bringing about consistency between maximum
possible profitability and liquidity of a firm. Cash management may be defined as the
ability of a management in recognizing the problems related with cash which may come
across in future course of action, finding appropriate solution to curb such problems if
they arise, and finally delegating these solutions to the competent authority for carrying
them out The choice between liquidity and profitability creates a state of confusion. It
is cash management that can provide solution. Cash management may be regarded as
an art that assists in establishing equilibrium between liquidityand profitability to
ensure undisturbed functioning of a firm towards attaining its business objectives.
Cash itself is not capable of generating any sort of income on its own. It rather is the
prime requirement of income generating sources and functions. Thus, a firm should go
for minimum possible balance of cash, yet maintaining its adequacy for the obvious
reason of firm's solvency. Cash management deals with maintaining sufficient quantity
of cash in such a way that the quantity denotes the lowest adequate cash figure to meet
business obligations. Cash management involves managing cash flows (into and out of
the firm), within the firm and the cash balances held by a concern at a point of time.
The words, 'managing cash and the cash balances' as specified above does not mean
optimization of cash and near cash items but also point towards providing a protective
shield to the business obligations. "Cash management is concerned with minimizing
unproductive cash balances, investing temporarily excess cash advantageously and to
make the best possible arrangement for meeting planned and unexpected demands on
the firms cash.
NEED OF THE STUDY
The Cash Management department must see whether the risk, cost and flow
control. Consideration is properly balanced in a given situation. The Cash management
has to be managed properly or profitability adversely affected due to locking up of
costly funds unnecessarily. On the other hand of the Cash Management is inadequate
the company will become illiquid and consequently may not have ability to meet its
current obligation.
The research design used in this project is Analytical in nature, which the
researcher has to use facts or information already available, and analysis. These to use
facts or information already available, and analysis these to make a critical evaluation
of the performance of the industry.
This study is based on the data about for a detailed study of its Cash Management,
documents and system ratios and finally to recognize and determine the positions of the
company.
RESEARCH DESIGN:
The research approach used for the study is descriptive. The form of the study is
on the financial statement analysis in general and specific to the cash position. The project
attempts to understand the tolls offered by institutions today that make this possible. Both side
of the services of collections as well as payments have sought to be examined with an
emphasis on how these products have developed and offered by industry.
SOURCE OF DATA
Data that has been collected from first-hand-experience is known as Source data.
Source data has not been published yet and is more reliable, authentic andobjective.
Source data has not been changed or altered by human beings, thereforexits validity is
greater than secondary data.
SECONDARY DATA
Data collected from a source that has already been published in any form is calledas
secondary data. The review of literature in any research is based on secondarydata.
Mostly from books, journals and periodicals.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
As central purchase office, purchase raw material and central marketing yarn
make sales. Information that is so more detailed cannot be received about these.
Cash from debtors a collected by the corporate office through commission
agents. So efforts for collection of debtors cannot be clearly known from SIVA PUMPS
INDIA PVT LTDs, COIMBATORE.
Investment of funds are also made by corporate office, so it becomes difficult to
know that how much investment is made in different ways for continuous availability
of funds.
The Area of the study was conducted by theSIVA PUMPS INDIA PVT LTD,
COIMBATORE.
CHAPTER SCHEME:
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Md. Mazedul Islam, Adnan Maroof Khan and Md. Monirul Islam-2013, In
their study theyhave mentioned that the importance of the textile industry in the
economy of Bangladesh is very high. The garments manufacturing sector earned $19
billion in the year to June 2012, one of the impoverished nation's biggest industries.
Currently the textile industry in Bangladesh is facing great challenges in its growth rate.
The major reasons for these challenges can be the global recession, unfavorable trade
policies, internal security concerns, the high cost of production due to increase in the
energy costs, different safety issues specially fire, etc. With an in-depth investigation
they found that the Bangladesh textile industry can be brought on top winning track if
government and others individuals takes serious actions in removing or normalizing the
above mentioned hurdles. Additionally, the government should provide subsidy to the
textile industry, minimize the internal dispute among the exporters, withdraw the
withholding and sales taxes etc. Purchasing new machinery or enhancing the quality of
the existing machinery and introducing new technology can also be very useful in
increasing the research and development (R and D) related activities that in the modern
era are very important for increasing the industrial growth of a country.
Donald S. Allen-1995, His study support the anecdotal evidence that inventory
managementmethods in the United States have changed significantly over the past
decade or two, which is evident in the reduced business inventory-to-sales ratio, driven
almost entirely by lower inventories of work-in-process, and materials and supplies
rather than finished goods. The impact of these changes in inventory management
techniques on business cycles is ambiguous. All other things being equal, inventory
management innovations should reduce the probability of unintended accumulation.
But as long as firms overestimate or underestimate future demand, inventory cycles will
persist. And if cutbacks in production are required to reduce inventory thenthe resulting
reduction in income could result in lower demand and further inventory buildup.
Inventory management innovations are not a panacea for all the business cycles. In the
long run these innovations in Inventory management can contribute to a faster response
of production to changes in demand. It can in turn reduce the boom-bust cycle in the
economy.
Donald S. Allen-1997, The common assumption is that firms use inventories to
smoothproduction. Like his previous research based on aggregate data, his research at
the level of individual companies fails to confirm this hypothesis, although select firms
showed evidence of seasonal smoothing. But the results do confirm the stylized
empirical regularity that production varies more than sales, both at the firm level and in
the aggregate. One possible explanation of the failure to confirm smoothing is that
increased demand prompts firms to raise their inventory targets levels; thus planned
inventory increases are positively correlated with sales. Unplanned inventory changes,
which would reflect the buffer stock motivation, are negatively correlated with sales but
insufficient to make the variance of production less than that of sales. In the buffer
stock test of the correlation between changes in sales and changes in inventory, most
firms showed negative correlations. This finding is consistent with the idea that
inventories act as a buffer stock to unexpected changes in sales. The negative
correlation between changes in sales and changes in inventory may be a better test of
whether buffer stock movement is prompted by random demand in the presence of
partial adjustment and serially correlated demand. Thus result also seems to suggest
that many industries may be making partial adjustments in their inventories.
Ian M.Taplin-2006 found while studying the EU textile and clothing industry,
that clothingproves more robust in retaining an employment presence than the more
capital-intense textile sector. This is surprising since labor intense industry is expected
to suffer more from intensified global competition than capital intense ones. Job losses
continue in both sectors but firms are innovating in restructuring practices to remain
competitive and responsive to buyer pressure. Technological innovation and the pursuit
of niche markets plus increased outsourcing are key responses. Thus among all the
pressures they leave no scope for internal inefficiencies within the firm.
CHAPTER-III
INDUSTRY PROFILE
The Siva pumps has been developed to provide smallholder farmers with an
affordable and sustainable way to bring water to their fields. The Siva Pumps panel
captures the sunlight and converts it into electricity which drives the pump. The
pump comes in a suction version (up to 7m) and a deepset version up to 20m.
The capacity on a clear day is maximum 13 m3/day when lifting from 4m and 4
m3/day when lifting from 20m. The capacity can be increased by adding a second
Siva Pumps panel. Assuming a crop requirement of 5l/m2.day, this capacity is
enough to serve a field of 2500 m2 and 800 m2 respectively. Future pump ltd(UK)
is the company that manufactures and markets the pump with technical support
from PRACTICA.
GOALS
In the long term the goal is to provide farmers in developing countries with
access to this technology so that they can increase their income and at the same
time increase food production.
The Siva Pumps is presently marketed in Kenya and field tested in Ethiopia,
Nepal, Honduras, Zambia and Burkina Faso. The field test experiences will be fed
back into the design to improve the product.
ACTIVITIES
BUDGET
Liberty foundation: three grants with a total value of 101.000 have supported
the design phase of the Siva Pumps pump and the elaboration of a business plan to
introduce this pump on the Ethiopian market.
IDE Powering Agriculture grant, 100.000 for 2014 and 50.000 for 2015.
Powering Agriculture II, through Futurepump UK a further 70.000 is expected
over the period 2016-2018.
A siva pump has been developed and tested that is affordable, economically
viable and suits the needs of smallholder farmers in developing countries. The
pump is currently produced by Future pump India ltd at a rate of 100 pumps per
month. The intention is to ramp up production to 10.000 units per year by 2017.
Please contact Future pump Ltd for distribution enquiries.
As an initial step, one pump set will be introduced in Kanchinadka area and
if it yields result, the project may be upgraded to supply potable water to people in
Padubidri. Each siva pump set costs Rs 7.5 lakh and some fear that the farmers
may find it costly.
The response to siva mission has not been very encouraging in Karnataka. A
Mescom official was quoted by the media saying that the company is planning to
introduce Siva Pumps pump-sets for irrigation in the coming days. There should be
good support from the government by providing subsidies and loan facilities to
farmers to buy these pump sets, UmeshNayak, a farmer in Padubidri, said.
With agricultural farmland decrease, the desert area continues to expand, the
extreme arid climate impact on food production, solving water supply has become
the root of problem of agriculture.
Compared with the traditional diesel pump and electric pump irrigation, Siva
Pumps pump has great advantage. It will become the main way of agricultural
irrigation in the future, has a wide application prospect.
Who we are
Project 1
Project Location: Bangladesh
Project Name: PS5500 Siva Pumps water pumping system for farmland irrigation
Project 2
Project Introduction:
Solution:
Siva Pumps pumping system consists of a Siva Pumps array, Siva Pumps
pumping inverter and a three-phase AC pump. The Siva Pumps array is composed
of many Siva Pumps cells panels connected in series and in parallel, converting
irradiation from sunlight to electrical energy. The pumping inverter controls and
regulates pumping operation and converts DC to drive AC pumps. The AC pump
is driven by a 3-phase induction motor, draws water from well, rivers or lakes,
stores in tank or uses for irrigation directly. Utilizing Siva Pumps PS5500 Siva
Pumps pumping system, The pump draws water from 15 meters underground.
Daily water output of the system is up to 360M3.
Economy Benefit:
The system generates 15330 kWh electricity annually. In its 25-year long
application, the system is able to save standard coal up to 144 tons, reduce
emission of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, soot and ash by 63 tons, 2.8tons, 2.16
tons and 37.44 tons respectively. This system was driven by Siva Pumps energy
and works automatically. It is environmental friendly to Hainan Island. Low-
Carbon Agriculture for Islands is the first in the world, SIVA ted from Hainan
Island. The application sets a new ground for low-carbon economy.
Pumps account for 30% of the power consumption in the country. Thus,
efficient operation of pump system can yield substantial savings. The industrial
Pump-motor system is a major determinant of cost of production in the industry by
way of capital investment and running cost. Not only the pump and drive selected
for optimal performance, but pump-motor system as a whole should be efficient
and reliable and reliable.
Pump casing is of unique design. Liquid is retained in it, which at the time of
reSIVA ting, works as the intake for the impeller and pump is primed. The pump is
used for dirty water, emptying pits and employed in situation where suction lift
conditions are there. It has the advantage of avoiding foot valves often a source
of problems. Pumps fitted with open impeller are used in mining and construction
industry and de-watering duty. The disadvantage is its higher cost and lower
efficiency.
The Pump body is split in two half along the upper half of the body to be
removed for carrying out maintenance to the rotating parts without disturbing
suction or discharge PUMPSline. The pump has distinct advantage of ease of
maintenance and is used for water supply services (for fire fighting, cooling water,
raw water, cooling tower supply), mine de-watering and as bilge and ballast pump.
In this pump, series of impellers are mounted on a common shaft. The liquid
moves from one impeller to another with a volute or diffuser following each
impeller such that the head increases progressively. The pump may be split axially
or radially and has 2 to 15 stages. Pumps are used for pumping mine water from
mine to surface level, boiler feed duty, high pressure booster systems, reverse
osmosis etc.
Slurry Pump:
This pump handles solids suspended in liquid in slurry form. The major
concern in pumping slurry is the abrasive wear of pump components exposed to
the liquid. Selection of best material for pump components to resist wear or to be
isolate from the abrasive media is vital. Rubber-lined or hard metal End-suction
pump are used. Pumps are deployed to handle mine slurries, fly ash slurry, mill
scale, sand and gravel slurry, ceramic slurry etc.
Such pumps are used for metering services and high-pressure application.
Variation of out put is achieved by adjusting the stroke length of the pump. High-
pressure piston pump is used in oil producing sector, construction industry and
cleaning application. Large pressure pulsation necessitates use of pulsation
dampener.
Diaphragm Pump:
The back and forth flexing of a diaphragm causes the liquid to flow into and
out of the pump. The diaphragm may be moved mechanically or may be actuated
by compressed air or hydraulic fluid. Check valves are provided at inlet and outlet
port. These pumps are self-priming, seal-less, can run dry, and handle solids with
liquids. Mechanically actuated Pumps are used for metering service, having
accuracy of +/- 1%. Air operated diaphragm pump are used to handle sewage,
slurries and other corrosive liquids. Pump produces pressure pulsation requiring
use of dampener and has lower efficiency.
A single-helix metallic rotor rotates inside double helix polymer stator. The
rotor forms sealing line along its pitch length and liquid is carried in the cavity
between the stator and the rotor. Pump can handle solids and viscous or sticky
liquids. It has a gentle pumping action and has no valves that may get jammed. It is
used to handle a variety of viscous liquids and abrasive slurries. The pump should
not be run dry.
This pump has a central screw driven by the prime mover while the other 2
screws are run by the center screw. Pumping action is similar to Twin screw pump.
These pumps have higher efficiency and high pressure developing capability with
added advantage of being compact. It is used for boiler fuel feeding application;
power source for hydraulic lifts and in centralised lubrication system in large steel
mills. The limitation of the pump is its incapability to handle solids and it cannot
run dry.
Vanes slide in the slots cut length wise in rotor and the rotor is inside an
eccentrically shaped casing, which acts like a cam. Pumps are self-priming, of
simple construction and have feature of self-compensation for wear on the vanes.
Pumps are employed for handling oil in lubrication service or as power packs for
low pressure hydraulic motors. Pumps are unable to handle suspended solids,
corrosive liquids and highly viscose media.
Gear Pump:
The Gear Pump has two meshing gears rotating inside a casing. Liquid is
carried between gear teeth and the casing and displaced as the teeth mesh. The
pump is, economical, pulsation free and quiet in operation. External as well as
Internal gear configurations are possible. Pumps are used for handling LDO, lube
oil, fuel oil, paints, viscose and other clean viscous liquids. Pump cannot handle
suspended solids and cannot run dry.
Lobe Pump:
Pump has one or more lobes that rotate at slow speed inside the casing to
displace the liquid. The wide spaces between the lobes and the slow speed make it
ideal for handling fragile solids and shear-sensitive liquids. Pump output is subject
to pressure pulsation and high amount of slip with low viscosity liquids. Pumps are
employed to handle food products and pharmaceutical formulations.
This pump has an inclined screw conveyor shaft rotating within a close
fitting open type cylindrical conduit. The helical screw blades force the liquid
along the inclined conduit. These pumps are used in sewage treatment industry for
transfer of sludge.
Peristaltic Pump:
It has roller or cam attached to rotor, which squeezes the tube as it passes
across it, drawing the liquid in the tube and delivering it to the discharge side. The
pump is seal-less and rotating element is not exposed to the liquid. Pump is used
where high order of cleanliness and hygiene is essential; like pumping of human
blood/plasma, other medical and bio-medical applications.
Presently, the Indian market for centrifugal pump for industrial application is
estimated to be Rs.65 million growing at a annual rate of 8%. The awareness level
amongst user industries regarding application of positive displacement pump is
lower as compared to centrifugal pump technology. This is also depicted by the
fact that in India share of positive displacement pump in the domestic market is
approximately 10% which in international market is approximately 20%. Market
for positive displacement pump in India is valued at Rs.1.2 million. Piston /
Plunger Pump has the largest share in this market followed by Screw pumps and
Gear pumps.
While there are different pump technologies from which the plant designer
has to select the pump, it is very important that correct selection is done for the
type of pump, material of construction, shaft sealing and size of pump.

Having decided the type of pump to be used, pump sizing is done. Usually,
pump manufacturer does the Pump sizing from the sizes available in his production
programme. For centrifugal pump, care is taken to select a pump size in which the
duty point is close to the best efficiency point of the pump.
AC induction motors are the most widely used prime mover for industrial
pumps. AC induction motors of different construction and mounting configuration
are available. The motors can be foot, flange or wall mounted. Different motor
enclosures are:
Submersible motor
Pump speed
Efficiency
Temperature
Presently, selection of motor for driving the pumps is carried out with
involvement of consultation 15% of cases pertaining to new projects. In 45% of
cases, pump set complete with motor is procured from pump manufacturers while
the balance purchases involve procurement of motor by the user organisations.
Variable speed drive is used for pump having variation in discharge rate and
provides power saving. Different types of variable speed drives are available, viz.
Pulse Width Modulated inverter, Eddy current or slip coupling drive, Switched
Reluctance Drive etc. Variable frequency drives are proven to be advantageous due
to their higher efficiency, capability to integrate with drive control software.
Variable speed drive can regulate pump flow by consuming lesser energy in
comparison to conventional method of using throttling valve on Pump discharge
line. Savings in Power cost due to energy conservation by use of Variable speed
drives can pay back the additional investment in cost of drive in a short span of
time.
Installation of variable speed drive requires that the site is well ventilated,
free from corrosive fumes and radio frequency interference. Multiple pumps can be
run by operating a single drive or individual drive with each pump can be installed.
In India, use of variable speed drive with pumps is limited at present due to:
The pump and motor have to be matched for optimal performance. The
torque-speed characteristics of the motor and pump should be matched to ensure
availability of SIVA ting as well as running torque for the pump. The moment of
inertia for the pump motor system ahs to be considered to determine the
acceleration time for the motor to attain full speed. The SIVA ting torque of the
motor is influenced by method adopted to SIVA t the motor. DOL SIVA ting
provides higher SIVA ting toque in comparison to SIVA delta SIVA ting.
The pump and motor are connected through flexible coupling which
transmits the power. The coupling while transmitting power, takes the load of axial
misalignment. Different types of flexible couplings available in India include tyre
type coupling, pin and bush coupling, gear type coupling, spider coupling, spacer
coupling etc.
Certain pumps are complete with motor like Submersible Pumps. The pump
is close coupled with a motor, which is designed to operate while submerged in the
liquid to be pumped. The motor is filled with oil and separated from the pumped
liquid by a mechanical seal. This motor may be coupled to multi stage centrifugal
pump or non-clog centrifugal pump for handling raw water, drinking water or
sewage / effluents respectively.
Pump and motor is an integral construction and there is no shaft seal. The
pump section is identical to a conventional centrifugal pump. The motir is a 2 or 4
pole induction motor having stator and rotor canned within corrosion resistant non-
magnetic liner and sleeve. The entire outside of the motor is enclosed in a
secondary leakage containment shell. Primary protection is provided by corrosion
resistant liners which are seam welded and assure that pumped liqued does not
contact stator windings.
Seal-less pumps are used in nuclear power plants, refrigerant pumping, high
temperature liquid handling, pumping of hazardous chemicals.
Application Aspects
Actual duty parameters differing from design duty point due to safety
margins built in.
Operational Aspects
Maintenance Aspects
Other Aspects
Sewage treatment plant of Ahmedabad and Pune were studied and compared
with case studies of sewage treatment plants of other countries. It was
discovered that:
In Indian plants non-clog centrifugal pumps are being used and consultants
are invariably involved for detailed engineering and selection of pump-
motor system.
In foreign countries, the trend is towards use of submersible pumps for
sewage handling.
There is significant variation in volume of inflow of wastewater. In India,
this variation is taken care of by operating one or more pumps depending on
the volume of liquid to be handled. The trend abroad is to use pumps with
variable speed drive resulting in substantial power saving.
There is no monitoring and measurement of performance of pump motor
system after commissioning of sewage treatment plant in India. Abroad,
sophisticated systems connected through modern to centralised computer are
used to monitor the efficiency of pump-motor system and generate important
data.
Use of non-clog centrifugal pumps, require construction of dry well for
pump installation involving sizeable construction cost. Use of Submersible
pump technology can eliminate this cost & offer additional advantage of
lower maintenance, easy installation and accessibility of pump.
The pump-motor system consumes significant part of the total power
employed for running sewage treatment plant.
Gear Pump Manufacturers to work on this development and take assistance for
machining from Tool rooms established with German collaborations.
Canned Motor pumps are being manufactured in the country by only one
manufacturer at present. More manufacturers should enter this field. Since cost and
time required for development of technology would be high, route of technical
collaboration with foreign manufacturers may be explored.
Indian Pump Manufacturers Association can take the lead role to set up such a
unit in consultation with Si Tarc and Pump and Pump manufacturers.
Whereas many units of organised sector have adopted ISO 9000 Quality
Assurance systems, in the small-scale sector, it needs to be adopted at a fast pace.
This would go a long way in improving quality of pumps of small-scale units and
enable them to enter International market as well.
The user industries should re-evaluate the duty parameters for pumps
installed in their plant. In a big process plant, such an exercise will be costly as
well as time consuming. It is suggested that based on annual power consumption of
the Pumps, an ABC analysis may be applied. Top 10% of Pumps (by number),
that consume maximum power on annual basis, should be taken up in the first
phase for energy conservation exercise. Wherever feasible, pump and motor should
be modified to operate close to their best efficiency point.
User Industries to undertake such exercise in association with Pump
manufacturers to optimise performance of existing Pump-Motor systems.
Variable speed drive manufacturers to take the lead for canvassing use of
VSD. User Industries to undertake the exercise in association with Pump
manufacturers to identify potential applications for using variable speed drive.
Govt. of India to consider duty concessions for Variable speed drive
manufacturers.
User industry should adopt predictive techniques like vibration anlaysis for
pre-empting pump-motor system breakdown. Further, use of spurious spares
should be avoided to achieve better efficiency and higher service life of Pump-
Motor system.
Lastly, the Pump industry has to change the old mindset of focussing on
domestic market only. Many investments that may not look lucrative enough in
Indian context may be rewarding on International scale. Larger quantities in World
market can help reduce costs due to economies of scale for Plastic pumps.
Exposure of operating in world market will lead to benchmarking with competing
products resulting in design and quality improvements.
HISTORY OF THE INDUSTRY
Ten years ago, World Pumps put together a brief history of the pump
industry telling the story of pump development since the Egyptians invented the
shadoof in 200BC. We stopped then at 1999, but here we bring the story right up
to date with some of the main industry events of recent times.
Fifty years ago, Trade & Technical Press launched a new magazine to report
on technical developments in pumps. The original title of Pumping was short-lived,
being soon supplanted by the pan-European Pumps, Pompes, Pumpen in 1965 as
the magazine linked up with the fledgling Europump association. Over the next
seventeen years, the pump industry became increasingly international and in 1982,
the publisher decided to mark this trend by re-launching the magazine as World
Pumps.
The thirtieth anniversary year saw Trade & Technical Press acquired by
Elsevier Science Ltd who incorporated the magazine into its Elsevier Advanced
Technology Division. Since then, a number of editorial changes have brought with
them new approaches as the industry matures. There have been reviews of software
and web pages, eventually eclipsed by sheer numbers. An annual International
Buyers Guide has been published since 1997, and is now supplemented by an on-
line version. Since 2003 World Pumps has worked with BPMA on the annual
prestigious Pump Industry Awards. The magazine now features regular
contributions from the Hydraulic Institute, underlining its international credentials.
Man has been using pumps of some type for 4000 years, which makes 50
years a very short time in the history of pumping. Indeed, looking back at the most
significant developments in technology, the last fifty years seem relatively
insignificant. By 1959, all the major pump designs had been introduced and mostly
developed into commercial products. So what has World Pumps been writing
about for the past 50 years?
Driving trends
One trend has been the increasing importance of niche positive displacement
pumps, particularly rotary types. Peristaltic, progressing cavity and rotary lobe
pumps have all risen in profile as their capabilities have been introduced to new
markets by improved communications. Increasing competition has meant that users
have been more inclined to experiment in the search for the ideal pump for difficult
duties.
The trends that have affected all of us have also had their impact on the
pump market. Increased environmental awareness gave a real boost to pumps
without shaft seals. Magnetic drive and canned motor units have thrived and even
produced a hybrid combining the two technologies. Pump shaft sealing has also
changed dramatically. Asbestos in packing is outlawed and today the vast majority
of new pumps are supplied with mechanical seals, often in factory-assembled
cartridge format to avoid the risk of face damage during handling.
Materials have also developed. Sea-water pumps have seen gunmetal and
aluminium bronze replaced by highly alloyed super-austenitic and super-duplex
stainless steels. New non-metals have made possible tiny pumps for human
implant. Ceramics and tungsten/silicon carbide have vastly reduced wear rates in
pumps of all sizes. Even large sub-sea variable speed super-synchronous drive
motors for pumps are now possible.
Overtaken by computers
Electronics and computers have overtaken all our lives and inevitably have
entered the physical world of pumps in the form of variable speed drives (VSD's),
SCADA systems and condition monitoring equipment. Integral VSDs on in-line
pumping units now dominate the building services market. Pump selection
software has speeded up the process of choosing a pump, as well as opening
opportunities in Sales. For the designer, CAD and CFD have reached new heights.
They can now interact but they still have some way to go before they fully replace
personal expertise.
Life cycle costing has become a part of everyday life and has shown that
energy costs usually eclipse all other lifetime costs. Vast savings are frequently
realised by system improvement but appropriate legislation is practically
impossible to formulate. Although pump efficiency improvements give relatively
small returns for large outlays, legislation for raising efficiency now exists in
Korea and China. The European Commission, as part of its Energy Using Products
Directive, has targeted the raising of efficiencies of water pumps. Europump has
been instrumental in assisting the EC in this task and has proposeda method for
eliminating bad performers.
We are all aware that in recent years, discussions about the pump industry
have been dominated by talk of mergers, takeovers and disposals. Indeed, as we
consider the major pump makers of 2009, it is hard to name one which has not
changed markedly since 1959.
ITT, IDP, Sterling Fluid Systems, Grundfos, Wilo and ABS have changed
almost beyond recognition. Established independent makers like Harland, Flygt,
Worthington and now Weir Pumps have disappeared, whilst newer names like
Textron, Constellation Capital, IDEX, Pentair and Flowserve have arrived on the
scene, continuing the trend for the biggest companies to get bigger.
Mind you, it is also interesting to note from the chronology of the pump
industry listed below, that even in the early years of this magazine mergers and
acquisitions were not unknown and ever since there has been a continuous
environment of change.
Global marketplace
Probably the biggest single change in this industry has been the transition
from a local to a global marketplace. Fifty years ago we had only national trade
associations but today the significant impetus in inter-company relations is at
intercontinental level. The Europump Association has grown massively in stature
and effectiveness in its 49 years, and now works in close partnership with the
Hydraulic Institute in the US. This partnership reflects ever closer cooperation
between pump manufacturers' associations, a development that mirrors this
magazine's evolution from national through European to global coverage.
