ITT sponsors Stockholm Junior Water Prize Students Wang Hao, Weng Jie and Xiao Yi from Shanghai, China are the winners of the 2006 Stockholm Junior Water Prize, sponsored globally by ITT Corporation. Wang, Weng and Xiao, students at Shanghai Nanyang Model High School, received the Prize from HRH Crown Princess Victoria on behalf of the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) for a research project that aims to ecologically restore urban Chinese river channels. The group of students received a USD 5,000 scholarship and a crystal sculpture. The International Stockholm Junior Water Prize, awarded during World Water Week 2006 in Stockholm, encourages young people globally to take note of issues related to water and the environment. Each year a high-school age student or group of students receives the international award after receiving the top national award in their home country. "The impending water crisis is one that affects all nations, developed or undeveloped. Solutions to water issues must be researched further so that every country has access to safe, clean water," said Steve Loranger, President and Chief Executive Officer of ITT Corporation. "The International Stockholm Junior Water Prize provides a forum for our future environmental leaders to make strides in improving water quality on both local and national levels, and it encourages the world's youth to take action and research global water solutions today."

Webvertising:breaking new groundsHerb Broadway is KCI Publishing's e-marketing

coordinator and, as such, is responsible for the

wide range of electronic advertising possibilities

Pump Engineer offers. Together with clients, he

finds the webvertising opportunities that best fit

it best when a company contacts me and says

they have a certain budget available and what can

they do with it. Together, we can then compile a

tailor-made package that caters to their specific

needs. Companies are often surprised when they

see our wide range of webvertising options but

the younger “webwise” generation in particular

fully acknowledges the potential of this relatively

new form of advertising.”

Pump Engineer's range of electronic advertising

opportunities includes web boxes, logo banners,

hyperlinks and a highlights section on the Pump

Engineer home page but Broadway is particularly

excited about the Cyber Guide, which can be

found on the Pump Engineer website,

ABS wins Technology Innovation of the Year AwardFrost & Sullivan has chosen ABS Group as the

winner of its Technology Innovation of the Year

Award in the European water and wastewater

sector. ABS is presented with the award for

offering complete solutions for water and

wastewater applications. The Frost & Sullivan

award was given to ABS for the continuous strive

to provide robust, reliable and high technology

solutions. The motivation reads: “The company

has been dedicated in offering complete solutions

for all kinds of water and wastewater treatment

applications. Its extensive technical knowledge in

pumping applications coupled with its ability to

deliver high quality products are among the key

reasons for its consolidation as a key participant

in the European pump market for water and

wastewater treatment sector.”

According to Frost & Sullivan, ABS has presented

the market with a very competitive offering. “We

will see this award as inspiration to become even

better in providing our customers with solutions

all over the world which help them to enhance

their business operations,” says Peter Aru,

President and CEO of ABS Group.

Writing for Pump Engineer magazineYou too can earn recognition by writing for

Pump Engineer magazine. You certainly don't

have to be a professional writer to have an article

published. You need only present some

information, based on experience or know-how,

that will be of value to our readers. David Sear,

editor for Pump Engineer magazine, explains how

to prepare and submit your material for

consideration by the editors. “Our readership is

interested in technical solutions to problems,

industry trends, strategies and regulatory

compliances. Preference is therefore given to

papers written or co-written by operating

companies describing commercially viable new

technologies and/or case histories of applications

which have been successful, backed by data. Sales

pitches promoting certain products or services will

not be accepted.”

• Text: We are flexible about the length of the text,

but articles typically run about three to four

printed pages and contain about one-third

illustrations and two-thirds text. This matches

with 1500-2000 words. Please submit your article

by e-mail. However, if the text contains

mathematical formulae or other non-standard

characters then please also forward a hard copy.

• Illustrations: Your use of appropriate, carefully

planned illustrative material can make a big

difference in the usefulness and attractiveness of

your article. Please submit your illustrations as

separate .jpg files, not embedded in the text of

the article, with a minimum resolution of 300dpi.

Be sure to include a caption for each illustration.

• By-line and biography: Indicate how you would

like your name and affiliation to appear. We also

need a short biography detailing your present

position and/or title. In addition, please send a

sharp photograph of yourself.

• Copyrights: The publisher, KCI Publishing B.V.,

has the copyright of all articles printed in Pump

Engineer.

• Deadlines: Please try to meet the deadline given

by the editor. This way, there will be more time

for a proper lay-out, which will benefit the

exposure of the article. Exceeding a deadline

may also mean that we will have no choice but to

cancel your article altogether.

If you have any questions or would like to submit

an article, please contact David Sear at

+31 575 585 284, [email protected].

Focus on Nuclear Power GenerationIn 2003, KCI Publishing, publishing house of

Stainless Steel World, Valve World and Pump

Engineer, decided it was time to expand into the

nuclear power generation market. We felt there

was something “in the air,” and we wanted to be

there and report on it. Not everyone was

convinced that we were doing the right thing.

Nuclear power was a thing of the past many

said….

Fast forward to 2006 and what a different world

we live in today! After issuing a request for

editorial contributions for this issue, articles and

papers have been pouring in steadily, leaving us

with a nice selection to choose from. The result is

a magazine that, we hope, once again is of

significant interest to materials and flow control

professionals involved in nuclear power

generation worldwide.

It seems we were right in 2003 when we decided

to move into the nuclear field, so much in fact

that we have decided to “up” production.

Beginning in 2007, we will expand to two issues

of Focus on Nuclear Power Generation per year,

with the next issue scheduled for publication in

April.

To advertise in any of the upcoming issues,

please contact Mrs. Ladan Pourtork at +31 575

585 292, [email protected]. If you would

like to submit an editorial contribution or a press

release, please contact the editor, Mrs. Esther

Aiking-Martensen at +31 575 585 276,

By 2010, three sewage treatment plants, made

almost entirely of stainless steel, will help to

restore Halifax harbour in Nova Scotia, Canada to

its original purity. The USD 333 million Halifax

Harbour Solutions Project will improve water

quality dramatically while transforming a murky,

foul-smelling waterway into what James Campbell,

spokesperson for the project, calls “the jewel of the

city.” At the heart of the project are three treatment

plants being built by Degrémont Halifax, a division

of Paris-based global water treatment giant

Degrémont Suez. The material of choice for a great

many of the pipes, pumps, screens, conveyors and

other components of the treatment plants is nickel-

containing stainless steel. Practically all the

stainless used in the plants will be S304, except for

the last stages of the treatment process, when

more corrosion-resistant S316 is needed.

Degrémont is building the treatment plants in

partnership with Dexter Construction Co. Ltd.

Dexter also has the USD 112 million contract to lay

20,000m of new sewer pipe to feed the plants. The

Halifax Harbour restoration

Halifax plant will be in operation by spring 2007.

The Dartmouth plant, on the opposite side of the

harbour, will come on-stream in August of that year

and be joined by the smaller Herring Cove plant,

near the harbour's mouth, in mid-2008. Tidal action

will ensure a dramatic and almost immediate

improvement in water quality.

Sulzer wins Pearl GTL contract

Sulzer Chemtech has been selected by Qatar Shell

GTL Limited to design and supply column internals

and other key equipment for the Pearl Gas to

Liquids (GTL) plant in Ras Laffan Industrial City,

Qatar. The Pearl GTL project comprises the

development of upstream gas production facilities

and an onshore GTL plant that will produce

140,000 barrels per day of GTL products, including

naphtha, GTL fuel, normal paraffins, kerosene,

and lubricant base oils. In addition, the plant will

also produce approximately 120,000 barrels per

day of condensate, liquefied petroleum gas, and

ethane. When completed, it will be the world's

largest integrated GTL complex. GTL is

complementary to liquefied natural gas and

pipelines and helps countries to diversify their

energy supplies. GTL products are clean and

odorless, contain virtually no sulfur, nitrogen, and

aromatics, and result in higher air quality for

cities.

That Kodak Moment!

In this section, we usually publish atypical pump-related photos or photos of Pump Engineer magazine

spotted in unusual locations. However, this time, we wanted to share with you a snapshot taken by one of

our editors one autumn evening as we were all about to head home after a busy day. It shows the town of

Zutphen, The Netherlands, where our main office is based, at sunset, as seen from the editorial office.

at the needs of pump users worldwide. Essential

information about pumps and pump applications

is brought to the market through a magazine, a

website, face-to-face events and research and

intelligence activities. All of these four channels

have one thing in common: They focus on the end-

users of pumping equipment.

That is why taking a cover story in Pump Engineer

is an excellent way for suppliers of pumps and

related equipment to communicate with these

end-users. The cover story concept is a unique mix

of an editorial feature and an advertising

campaign with enormous selling power, consisting

of the following elements:

• a four-page, full-color, article, written in our

style by one of the editors of Pump Engineer

magazine, approved by your company

• a magazine cover with a photo of your company

and the title of the cover story, containing your

company name

• an advertisement campaign in consecutive

issues of Pump Engineer magazine, consisting of

at least six full-page, full-color advertisements,

one of these in the issue containing your cover

story

• up to 500 copies of the issue featuring your

cover story for your own distribution among

clients, prospects, at trade shows etc. All copies

will be sent to one European address free of

charge. Extra copies or other addresses can be

arranged at a surcharge.

• your cover story and the magazine cover in the

cover story gallery of the Pump Engineer website

for one year

• a pdf version for use on your company website

Cover stories are often reserved long before the

publication date of the magazine so make your

reservation today!

Projects & Tenders: breaking news in your in-boxAll over the world, construction work is taking place on a daily basis across a wide range of industries,

from oil & gas and power generation to (petro)chemicals, pulp & paper, pharmaceuticals and other process

industries. Any of these projects can have a dramatic effect on your business - but few professionals have

time to keep track of them all. Why not let us do it for you?

KCI Publishing consolidates late-breaking news about upcoming projects and tenders around the world

into one concise, insightful publication: KCI's Projects & Tenders. Launched at the express wish of a

number of our customers, it consists of short bulletins that tell you all you need to know about upcoming

capital spending projects: the scope of work, the place, the time, the scale. We even supply contact

information where available. And, most important of all, we bring you the information at the time you most

need it: before construction begins!

KCI's Projects & Tenders is delivered by e-mail every Thursday throughout the year, except in August and

December, when it appears on alternate Thursdays.
