A leading international wastewater instrumentation manufacturer is now using peristaltic pumps from Verderflex as part its wastewater sampler systems
without a secondary pump being required. The company chose Verderflex R3DC OEM peristaltic pumps to fit the bill, as these compact, easy-to-maintain pumps combine the required performance with a proven track record gained in a wide variety of industrial waste applications.
In 2013 Smart Storm embarked on a design exercise to replace their existing waste water sampler with a new state of the art product that would meet the harsh demands of industrial waste water sampling. The new product, known as the Hydrocell sampler, included the Universal Smart Instrument (USI) as its instrument controller which offers the only waste water sampler on the market
with a graphical user friendly interface and Windows CE programming. “To ensure that the new product exceeded the specification of the existing product and that of our competitors we also required the pump to perform to a higher standard than that of the old sampler pump said Smart Storms Managing Director, Dr John Duffy. After exhaustive tests on numerous pumps the Verderflex R3DC OEM pump was chosen. We choose the Verderflex pump because its vertical lift capacity of 9m far exceeded that of other manufacturer’s pumps, its reliability was very impressive and it was extremely robust “everything we required said Dr Duffy”. Often the pump is the weakest part of a waste water sampler so reliability is paramount. Sending engineers to site to repair pumps is extremely costly and time consuming. We have now been using Verderflex pumps on our samplers for two years and we have not had a single failure. We use the pump across our complete sampler range from single bottle samplers to multibottle refrigerated samplers. The Verderflex pump along with the advanced USI controller made this Hydrocell range of waste water samplers the most advanced on the market”.
"Our R3DC pump is ideal for this type of demanding application," adds Neil Thomas of Verderflex. "It features a robust design with thick- wall tubing, and in addition to its high lift capability and a DC motor which can accommodate speed and flow-rate variations, it can handle flow rates up to 3.4 l/min."
Ultra-mixing for water treatment in compact space
Designed for turbulent flow applications where a high degree of mixing is required in a compact space, the Kenics™ UltraTab™ static mixer is now available in fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP), as well as steel and a variety of other alloys.
The UltraTab is particularly suitable for water treatment and desalination plants where there are space restrictions as well as pressure drop and pipe run limitations.
Utilised for numerous applications, including Chemical Injection, pH Adjustment, Coagulation and Acid Dilution, the UltraTab - available in sizes ranging from 50mm to 1500mm+ (2" to 60"+) - also provides superior mixing efficiency in turbulent flow.
The integral wall injector, upstream of the mixing element, forces the additive through the high energy dissipation region, providing simple and effective means for additive injection when compared to centreline injectors, which can impede the main flow, increase pressure drop, and increase fouling.
Independently evaluated by the British Hydraulic Research Group (BHR), the UltraTab was found to produce the lowest pressure drop per degree of mixing from all models tested.
