EXCLUSIVE TO PUMP CENTRE MEMBERS
0.88 Hours CPD
Description
Martin Gillman, Head of Development at Atlantic Pumps, explores the growing operational challenges faced within the UK wastewater sector when pumping sewage sludge contaminated with rag (fibrous materials such as wet wipes) and abrasive grit.
As these contaminants become increasingly prevalent, much of the industry continues to rely on traditional pump technologies that were not designed to handle such demanding conditions.
Key Topics Include:
-
Discussing the growing challenge of pumping contaminated sewage sludge (Including rag and abrasive grit).
-
Outlining how rag and grit impact the performance of different pump types from across the water sector.
-
Highlighting practical mitigation strategies to reduce wear, blockages, and downtime, extending asset life.
-
Exploring how various other sectors (such as mining and quarrying) handle abrasive and solids-laden fluids as part of their standard practice.
