PUMP CONFERENCE 8 - 9 September
IPUC P2009 was proudly hosted by Harry Rosen of TAS in association with the South African Institution of
Mechanical Engineering (SAIMechE). It is the leading pump conference in South Africa and is relevant to all
industries where pumps are the vital heart of their operation including mining, petrochemical, industrial, bulk
water and waste water industries.
In this two day conference, 18 papers of a high standard will be presented by leading international and local
experts, who will share their wealth of knowledge and experience on pumping systems and present papers on
tried and tested solutions, as well as effective problem solving techniques using the latest technologies. See the
conference highlights listed below or click here for the full programme.
200 delegates attended IPUC 2007 - this year we expect over 300 delegates to attend, drawn from South Africa
and the rest of Africa.
IPUC 2009 will also have a much higher international profile due to the calibre of
internationally recognised pump institutions who have agreed to endorse IPUC, including the British Pump
Manufacturers Association, EuroPump, British Water and the US Alliance to Save Energy, in addition to leading
South African bodies.
Of great interest to the pump community, additional events co-located with and following the IPUC
Conference provide immense value-add and benefit:
WISA CONFERENCE 10 September
An exciting addition, this year IPUC is followed by a further conference in association with The Water Institute of
South Africa (WISA) on the theme 'Renew, refurbish, regenerate'. For further details please click here
PUMPING SYSTEM ASSESSMENT TRAINING (PSAT) WORKSHOP 10 September
Led by Gunnar Hovstadius PhD, a PSAT qualified specialist, who is respected worldwide for his expertise in
pumping systems, energy related issues and life cycle costing. Delegates will receive a free copy of the Pumping
System Assessment Tool software, developed by the US Department of Energy. For further details please click

ENERGY EFFICIENCY FORUM 11 September
How can South Africa learn from the experience of other nations in developing a culture of energy efficiency?
Should the carrot or stick approach be used? These issues, and others, will be debated in a one day Energy
Efficiency Forum, facilitated by our panel of experts and including relevant stakeholders from Government and
from the local pump community, both manufactures and users. For further details please click here.
Please note: All the above events are accredited for CPD points
AFRIWATER EXHIBITION 8 -10 September
Afriwater will be co-located with IPUC 2009 and will be open to delegates from both Conferences. Since its
inception in 1994, this exhibition has provided an important platform for companies involved in the water and
waste industry, with a view to offering solutions, products and services to all those endeavouring to preserve our
precious water resource. . For further details please click
here.
This combination of events, together with the exceptionally high standard of papers which has
characterised IPUC since its inception (see this year's highlights below), presents a unique
opportunity to all those involved in pumps and pumping systems to keep abreast of the latest
in technology, products, services, industry trends and opinions in their sphere of business,
and to network with their peers and industry leaders.
Major companies and professional bodies have elected to lend their names to this important
event, many of who can be found in the adjoining Afriwater exhibition.
