Pumping facility
A treatment facility was experiencing persistent problems with a rotary pump in a pumping station.
The communal waste water is collected in a sedimentation tank. Here the heavier solids fall to the bottom and are removed. A rotary pump conveys the waste water from the tank to a water treatment facility. However, the waste water still contains solids in the medium that kept blocking the rotary pump. A solution was needed. A Börger Multicrusher was chosen and installed between the sedimentation tank and the rotary pump. Since the Multicrusher has been installed, pump downtime caused by solids has not occurred.
