Operating costs reduced

The existing piston pumps had frequent maintenance requirements and generated high operating pressures as well as using 31KW of power – adding up to a high cost of ownership. In contrast Seepex open hopper pumps transfer the higher ds% sludge with 50% reduced power consumption (15KW compared to 31KW) and up to 75% reduced discharge pressure due to the low pulsation flow characteristics.

Seepex pumps have been installed for over 12 months, requiring no maintenance interventions in this timeLower sludge disposal costs, lower energy use and reduced maintenance costs have been achieved.
