Energy Pumps make waves in wastewater
industry
Energy Pumps offer a heavy duty single acting diaphragm pump with 1 year warranty, including the wearing parts, with a higher flowrate capability, and lower energy consumption
Energy Pumps have been making tidal waves in the waste water industry, ever since launching the new higher flowrate range of single acting diaphragm pumps in March 2006 This has opened a whole new area of pumping possibilities for diaphragm pumps, where previously only RAM Piston, lobe or PC type pumps were used

The key driver for the cost assessment of diaphragm pumps in the wastewater and sewage industry is capital cost plus running cost based on power usage, spare parts, man hours and travel cost
Plus these new pumps drastically save the end user time, money, energy and maintenance/man hours costs, over the life of the pump.
Energy Diaphragm Pumps can handle thick primary sludges, generally between 0.5 to 10% dry solids on waste water applications, but have been used on primary sludges up to 18% dry solids on intermittent use.
Flowrates are currently from 0.5l/s (1.8m3/h) up to 10l/s (36m3/h) and by September 2007 we will be able to take orders for the latest diaphragm pump to our range (the Manta) which will handle flows up to 35l/s (126m3/h).

Diaphragm pumps are self priming and suitable for applications where a suction lift is required up to 6.5mtrs and delivery heads of up to 60mtrs which is determined by drive type and non-return valve type.
One of the main problems with the transfer of fluids is always Energy consumption: Energy Pumps generally requires 50% less installed power than any competitor, namely lobe type pumps, PC type pumps and RAM Piston pumps.
Energy Diaphragm pumps are also more suited to abrasive fluids, i.e sludges with sand, grit, stones, rag, and have even been seen to pump the odd crushed tin can, spanner, golf balls and snail shells without damage or blockage to the pump.
Energy Diaphragm Pumps can be electrically or hydraulically driven (not by air), and can also be trolley or trailer mounted with engine or generator for a total heavy duty portable pumping solution.
Other main advantages that Energy Diaphragm Pumps have is that the pump is very simple to maintain with nothing more than a spanner, Allen key and screwdriver to replace the diaphragm and non-return valves (a lifting device will be required for larger pumps) all within about 1/2 to 3/4 hour.
Although the Energy Diaphragm Pump was originally developed for use within the waste water industry for Primary, humus, RAS, SAS desludging/transfer duties, this type of pump has found uses within numerous other process industries like: farm slurry, foundries, refineries, auto plants, glass plants, railroad, meat processing, sand and gravel plants, cement plants, mining, paper an pulp, tanneries, textile mills, ceramic slip, plating plants, potable water plants, power plants, food processing wastes, landfill leachate, distilleries/breweries/wineries waste, laundries, soap plants.
On the majority of applications, Energy Diaphragm Pumps come with a standard 1 year warranty for both the pump and the wear parts i.e diaphragm and non-return valves.
No other Diaphragm, RAM, PC or lobe pump manufacturer in the UK offers this type of warranty, allowing you to easily budget for your spares/maintenance costs.
Do not mistake Energy Diaphragm Pumps with any other diaphragm pump, our pumps are designed to good old heavy duty British engineering standards, giving you year after year of trouble free pumping.
All our pumps and spares can be shipped UK or worldwide, so if you are looking to upgrade your existing pumps, or building a new facility, please send any enquiries to Energy Pumps.
