Solution to corrosion for Northumbrian Water
An unexpectedly high levels of corrosion was at the root of problems with two centrifuge cake disposal pumps, which needed frequent visits by maintenance staff at Honeyhill Water Treatment Works
Powered by geared 2.2kW motors, the pumps transfer the hot water at a rate of 5.5 cubic metres per hour, with a delivery pressure of 7 bar and a duty speed of 444 rpm.
The ultrasonic control system is linked to the Mono control panel that controls the pumps and alerts the operators if the sump becomes full.
As the pumps are located in a difficult area, Mono installed a 250kg swing jib to replace a 20 tonne truck-mounted mobile crane, allowing equipment to be removed more easily to a safe location when maintenance is required.
To ensure that the customers' production was not interrupted, only limited downtime was available for the installation of the equipment, therefore Mono installed the equipment over a weekend to ensure that the production line could continue as normal on the Monday morning.
Mono won the contract in a competitive tender, awarded from contractors Paterson Candy Refurbishments Ltd.
A spokesperson from Paterson Candy Refurbishments Ltd says: "Mono was chosen because of its ability to provide the most cost effective and reliable solution for the pumping of the waste water.
It has provided the best solution at a competitive price and our customer is pleased with the package." The P Range pc pumps incorporate the unique Mono Flexishaft drive system, that provides a single component link between the rotary motion of the drive shaft and the eccentric motion of the helical rotor.
The reduced number of moving parts in the drive train eliminates wear and makes lubrication unnecessary, removing the risk of failure during normal operation.
