Whenever sewage-pumping is done, but on a
smaller scale or on a larger scale, then submersible sewage pumps has to get
into the picture. A dramatic growth of
the submersible pump for sewage pumping has been witnessed since the 1950’s.
However, before we get into any more of this, we need to acknowledge the story
step by step.
Here goes.
What
is sewage treatment?
The sewage treatment is a process where contaminants
are removed from waste water / sewage or effluent. This process would include biological, physical,
and chemical processes that remove these contaminants. It further produces treated
water which is environmentally safer. This is also called recycled water. A
semi-solid waste or slurry, known as sewage / sludge
is usually a by-product of the sewage treatment. This undergoes further treatment before it can be suitable for land
application or disposal.
What
are the classes of submersible pumps?
There are typically three classes of
submersible pumps that exist.
1. Smaller submersible pumps
This type of submersible pump is used for
light duty & for domestic applications.
2. Larger submersible pumps
This
type of submersible pump is used in industrial and municipal applications. They
are used to pump sewage as well as all types of industrial wastewater.
3. Submersible chopper pumps
Submersible chopper pumps
are used for churning larger concentrations of solids, whereby large solids
particles are shredded to a pumpable form. This in turn can avoid clogging of
pipe due to large solids. These are generally used in industrial wastewater and
domestic applications.
Submersible pumps are normally used where
drainage by gravity is not possible.
What
is the famous range of sewage pumps?
Some of the important series of sewage pumps are submersible non clog pump - Unclog Series pumps & Vertical Wet
Pit Series - Enviro Pumps & Sump Pumps.
What
are these pumps ideal for?
The above series of sewage pumps are ideal
for pumping heavily contaminated water, sewage, effluents, and sludge in
variety of Domestic, Industrial & Municipal applications. These pumps are
very much ideal for pumping Industrial Waste & Effluents, Govt. & private
ETP & STP Plants, pumping Raw Sewage, Sludge Removal, Lifting Stations and
Underpasses, Sewage works, River Pollution Cleaning, Open Cast Mines, Tanneries
& many more similar applications.
The domestic application includes removing
of heavily contaminated water from collection pits, colony settling tanks, private
pumping stations or treatment plants etc.
Similarly, the commercial application
includes pumping sewage in hospitals & hotels, IT / BPO centres etc.
On the other hand, the industrial application includes pumping heavy duty sewage / sludge in industries such as
paper, cement, Pharma, steel etc. These pumps are very apt for pumping industrial
waste from collection pits, settling tanks etc.
It also be used for various municipal
applications like sewage disposal and mass transfer of sludge etc.
