SEEPEX Smart
Conveying Technology
reduces costs for Severn
Trent Water
SEEPEX Progressive cavity pumps fitted with Smart
Conveying Technology (SCT) were put to the test recently
against conventional design progressive cavity (PC) pumps
at Minworth WwTW.
S
evern Trent Water costs for
PC pump maintenance were
increasing – particularly
for those pumps feeding
a gravity belt thickener with primary
sludge. Frequent maintenance (every
4-6 months) was needed to replace
the rotor and stator, increasing labour
and spares costs for the equipment.
SEEPEX offered pumps fitted with
Smart Conveying Technology SCT as a
direct replacement for cost comparison
purposes.
The SCT design has a stator split
in half axially, held in place with 4
retaining segments. The pump can be
dismantled in place, enabling removal
of blockages, and replacement of either
the stator, the rotor, or both, without
dismantling pipework. The quick
release rotor means that universal
joints do not need to be dismantled to
change the rotor either. This design
reduces maintenance time by up to
85% when compared to conventional
PC pumps.
SCT pumps have other advantages
however, particularly when dealing
with abrasive products, which have
been proven to improve service life.
The adjustable nature of the retaining
segments allows re-tensioning of
the stator as wear occurs, regaining
optimum output each time and
extending the stator life by up to
300%. Ragging issues are also
reduced where SCT is used.
At Minworth, the test was successful
with the SEEPEX SCT pump
outperforming conventional PC pump
design by over 100%. An example
of how Smart Conveying Technology
extends pump life and reduces
operating costs.
