Wastewater management is an enormous responsibility for utilities and councils, and can be excessively expensive due to aging or faulty pumping equipment. By stepping away from traditional pump station design, councils can save in operational, onsite and engineering costs.
Clogging in pumping equipment is a pump station’s largest operational expense after power, due to the large cost involved in clearing blocked pumps.
To reduce these costs, Xylem, an industry leader in wastewater pumping applications, has developed a new product to help propel water management into the future.
Improved efficiencies, reduced costs
Through its development of the new Flygt N-Impeller, Xylem has paved the way for how wastewater engineers design and operate their future pump station assets.
Xylem developed the Flygt TOP (The Optimum Pump-station) through constant product development and construction, designed to further increase the reliability and efficiency of Flygt pumps.
Xylem moved away from traditional pump station design by strategic placement of the pump pedestals incorporated within the station benching – leading to optimised positioning for the Flygt pumps to improve flow throughout the station sump during operation.
The Flygt TOP base increases turbulence and causes resuspension of solids and entrainment of floating debris.
Xylem offers a turnkey Flygt TOP based pump station solution – offering assistance with dimensioning, pump selection and project management – which reduces the costs associated with project planning and installation.
Installation is a breeze
Flygt TOP pump stations are renowned for reducing installation time and effort when compared to a traditional cast-in situ models, with installations typically taking a fifth of the time and reducing onsite, dewatering and engineering costs, and environmental impacts.
When coupled with the Flygt N-Impeller, Flygt TOP prefabricated pump stations (which come in a range of sizes), excel at delivering sustained efficiencies in wastewater removal by minimising blocked pump callouts.
