When a veritable army of enthusiasts descend on the mystical Vale of Avalon, they are there to experience what has become a music and aesthetic phenomenon that is just synonymous with Glastonbury. Conscious of their role in creating as little extra stress to the environment as possible, the organisers are consistently looking for ways to use less resources, to run the festival. This year, by working with GRUNDFOS PUMPS, the organisers say more savings have been found through a combination of switching pumps motors to more efficient variable speed control models, adding a new precision dosing system that will save on chemical use as well as investing in an overarching remote monitoring system will not only give extra control, but also the ability to interrogate and assess operational data. The festival might now be getting close to its 50th birthday, but it certainly isn’t showing any signs of slowing down and its enthusiasm to continue to improve, is still as strong as ever.

Casella says the VAPex, with a flow rate of 20mL to 500mL/min, is intrinsically safe and assists occupational hygienists in the measurement of chemical exposure levels such as Volatile Organic Compounds. The pocket- sized sampling device allows the user to easily carry the pump around a site, equipped with a run time of over 34 hours under typical operating conditions. In addition, the VAPex pump is designed with three LED lights that indicate the pump battery’s status from a distance. w | www.casellasolutions.com Protect employees from chemical exposure BRAMMER, BUCK & HICKMAN, a leading UK supplier of industrial maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) products and services, has announced it is the proud recipient of the Environmental/Energy Efficiency Award at the 2019 Motion Control Industry Awards.
