PERFORMANCE: Flow 10m3/h – head 31 m – NPSH 0,9 m
LIQUID: acid waste water

The pump is used to extract concentrated liquid from the concentration tank where involatile elements are separated from a solution, obtaining deionized water and a “concentrate”. Smaller RS pumps are also used to recover the deionized water. The use of the vacuum evaporation technique allows to reduce not only the energy consumption but also the NPSHa available for the pump. HG pumps, thanks to special design of impeller, is able to work with very low NPSHa. Pumps are equipped with mechanical seal designed to work in high vacuum condition.

LIQUID: cold river water with small particles.

Cooling water RB pumps are used for supplying heat exchangers with cooling water. Their flow rate varies depending on the heat flow to be dissipated. For cooling using a cooling tower, the water is drawn once from a river, lake or the sea depending on the power station's location, and fed into a collecting tank underneath the cooling tower. The water is drawn from there with pumps and transported through heat exchangers, then returned to the collecting tank via the cooling tower.

PERFORMANCE: Flow 180 m3/h – head 20 m
LIQUID: hot water

Pasteurization is a process, named after scientist Louis Pasteur, that applies heat to destroy pathogens in foods. The tunnel pasteurizer is an automatic machine that is suitable for pasteurising and/or cooling the products that are previously packaged in containers made of glass, plastic and tin and of different size and shape. The thermal cycle (heating and/or cooling of the container) is performed in each tank by means of a shower of spray water through special nozzles positioned in the upper part of the machine. The water wets the containers and is then collected in the side tray where it is filtered and then returned to the high capacity sprayers by a centrifugal pump in order to repeat the thermal cycle once again.

PUMP: RCC 32 16F 2B55 100 3
PERFORMANCE: Flow 20 m3/h – head 20 m
LIQUID: slightly acid waste water

Pumps are usually installed inside sumps that are used to collect liquid overflow or chemical waste from industrial processes. The feature of these sumps is the variability of the liquid level contained in it: this level depends on the process and must be run by level probes that stop the pumps when the level is too low and put them in motion when the level is high. These numerous starts-stops can cause damages to the motors and pumps. The cantilever pumps are able to work dry and do not need to be stopped when the level is too low. They can work continuously without having to be run by level probes. A key feature of cantilever pump is that there no bearings or bushings submerged therefore the pump can handle liquid with solids and operate dry.

Paper Factory Waste Water Treatment Plant

Paper is made by pulping wood, bleaching this pulp and then spreading it out into sheets to turn it into paper. At various stages of the process, chemicals are used to give the paper particular properties, such as the bleaching chemicals that make paper white (which also enable it to subsequently be coloured). Paper making is the process whereby pulp fibres are mechanically and chemically treated, turned into a diluted suspension, spread over a mesh surface, water removed by suction, and the resulting pad of cellulose fibres pressed and dried to form paper.
