Traditionally, progressive cavity (PC) pumps have been regarded as the best solution for the most demanding fluid pumping challenges. They excel at handling highly viscous, abrasive, and debris-laden media, making them particularly effective in wastewater treatment facilities.

Smith & Loveless highlights its innovative PISTA PRO-PAK. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the company’s PISTA Grit Chamber systems with top-mounted grit pump configurations, the PRO-PAK combines superior grit removal technology with a pre-engineered, protective housing enclosure for unparalleled efficiency and durability in extreme environmental conditions.

Around 359 billion cubic meters of wastewater is produced globally each year. As well as municipal wastewater, a broad range of industrial processes produce wastewater, such as chemical manufacturing, food processing and powerplants.

The City of El Mirage, Arizona has significantly improved reliability and reduced maintenance at its water and wastewater treatment facilities since replacing its diaphragm pumps with 13 Qdos 20 peristaltic chemical metering pumps supplied by Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS). The pumps were installed at remote well sites and a wastewater reclamation facility.

Trials of a cutting-edge fats, oils and grease (FOG) Recovery Hub at Yorkshire Water’s wastewater treatment works in Hull, UK, are helping the utility improve environmental performance while lowering costs, says Chris Clemes, chief executive of engineering technology company EcoClarity.

Water shortages are already the cause of numerous conflicts around the world. As a result, it is not only the economical use of this vital resource that is coming more into focus. Companies are working flat out on new technologies that improve water purification. In this way, even industrial water can be turned back into safe and clean drinking water.
