Maintenance downtime at compliance.

Thames Water’s Bicester
sewage treatment works has
been reduced following the
installation of two EZstrip
maintain-in-place pumps
from NOV Mono.

The plant’s previous
pumps, which transferred
primary settled sewage sludge
from four primary settlement
tanks to a duty stand-by,
were prone to blockages,
causing significant down
time.Mono’s EZstrip pump
can be stripped down and
maintained-in-place in 30min.
Bob Steptoe, site manager
at Bicester Sewage Treatment
Works, says: “The excellent
maintain-in-place benefits of
EZstrip have gone a long way
to ensure that the challenging
maintenance and repair
issues caused by our old
pumps are long gone.We are
very happy with the Mono
pumps and they are
performing extremely well.”
The EZstrip pump range
has a capacity to 165m3/h
and 12 bar pressure.
