New pumps help chop costs
February 1st 2008 Achieving improvement in the
throughput of sludge combined
with minimising reactive
maintenance and the frequent
need to purchase spares,were the
benefits achieved at a Southern
Water site, thanks to the
installation of Vaughan Chopper
Pumps and mixing systems,
supplied by P&M Pumps.The site
serves a sludge catchment of
approximately 600,000 people and
uses mesophilic digestion and a
thermal drying plant. For the waste
water process the stages are
primary settlement, biological
treatment and final settlement, and
for sludge recycling; digestion, gas
recycling, drying, the drying
granules are recycled to agriculture.
