Chopper pumps handle lab waste

These 12 pumps will be vertical pedestal, high-specification Vaughan STPE3P6 models in all 316 stainless steel and CD4 (Duplex Stainless Steel) construction, driven by 7.5kW motors.

The installation is part of a new pumping system for the campus, handling both its foul and domestic waste water and research laboratory waste which is to include corrosive substances and which will be extracted then suitably disposed of later in the process. The system features storage and feed tanks which are underground and made from HCR (Highly Chemical Resistant) GRP600 grade plastic. The stainless steel material is required due to the concentration of laboratory waste material that will be entering the pumping system. The pumps will be variable speed drive (VSD) which will enable them to handle the varying volumes of liquid within the waste system.

Through their experiences at numerous UK waste water treatment and manufacturing sites, P&M Pumps continue to demonstrate that Vaughan Chopper Pumps are an extremely flexible and effective option on the most challenging waste pumping applications.
