Pulsed Airlift Sludge Transfer Systems vs Progressive Cavity Pumps

What benefits can you expect from a pulsed airlift sludge transfer systems over conventional progressive cavity pumps?

• High reliability, low maintenance and fully automatic operation

• Reduced power costs by ~25% and similar savings in maintenance expenses (based on a typical de-sludging programme of four times per day)

• A completely self-contained unit with an upgraded PLC-based control system can operate either as part of a Distributed Control System or as a stand-alone unit

• Options for one, two, three or four tank systems, perfect for new builds and also easily retrofitted

Southern Water’s Tangmere Sewage Treatment Works was fitted with a single pulsed airlift desludging unit by Te-Tech Process Solutions to replace the existing pumped desludging. Tangmere STW treats domestic wastewater from villages to the east of Chichester, with a population of around 800. See what benefits the new unit brought to Tangmere:
