THE PROBLEM

The existing lobe-type pumps at this site were continually failing, affecting the performance of the site as well as maintenance costs.

 

Right: Existing lobe-type pumps

THE SOLUTION

NW Pump and Valve designed and installed five off Air Driven Diaphragm (ADD) pumping packages at the site

BENEFITS

  • Each pump works independently drawing sludge from the primary settling tanks and delivering to the dewatering tanks
  • ADD pumps offer excellent suction capability, which means specified flow rates are achieved with consistent sludge quality
  • All five ADD pumps are driven from two compressors arranged for duty/standby operation
