New pump enables affordable water recycling
The Filterpump has a 250 micron fixed intake screen, continually backwashed by internal rotating jets powered by a dedicated impeller, keeping the screen clear even in highly contaminated fluids
Water extracted from raw sewage to clean screens
The unique Rotorflush Filterpump, a submersible pump with a self cleaning intake screen, is used for extracting water from raw sewage and final effluent to provide washwater for inlet screens
Many existing submersible pumps are easily converted to this technology, it can also be fitted to surface mounted pumps.
It overcomes the problems associated with existing pumps working in contaminated fluids and will work where vortex, chopper and progressive cavity pumps will block.
It produces a filtered output, which prevents nozzle and solenoid valve blockage in upstream equipment.
For high pressure pumps a fine screen can be specified allowing efficient multi-stage pumps to be used with solids laden fluids.
Coarse screens can be fitted when used with solids handling pumps to keep out very large debris.
Self cleaning filtration and pump are provided in one easily installed unit at much lower capital cost than existing filtration and pumping solutions.
The Filterpump that Rotorflush is manufacturing is 2KW, with an output of 120 litres per minute and is being sold for irrigation of farm effluent, recycling of water from sewage for wash-down of inlet screens and pumping water contaminated with concrete dust.
Rotorflush are receiving enquiries for much larger Filterpumps for river water extraction, storm water pumping and filtration, wash down water for inlet screens.
Rotorflush need a pump manufacturer with the resources to develop a range of pumps to satisfy these existing customer requirements.
The Filterpump was a finalist in the British Pump Manufacturers Association Technological Innovation of the year 2004 competition.
