Submersible Pump Applications
Flow-Tech Industries submersible solids handling pumps are utilized for sewage and raw water lift stations, which are usually unattended and require utmost reliability and freedom from clogging or other downtime maintenance.
Submersible solids-handling pumps can be found in sewage and raw water lift stations, many unattended, which require utmost reliability and freedom from clogging or other downtime maintenance. Plants demand pumps to provide sustained high performance, the best possible design to resist clogging, and minimum size driving motors and controls to reduce construction and operation costs. Sewage and wastewater treatment plants and industrial plants where solids handling service is required are other typical installations.
The successful application of submersible solids-handling pumps requires the consideration of many elements. In addition to knowing the capacity and discharge head requirements, other factors that need to be evaluated include:
- Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) and submergence
- Maximum operating pressure
- Capacity operating range
- Horsepower required throughout the pump's operating range
- System head curve
- Sump requirements
Other considerations include:
- Parameters of the liquid being pumped
- Allowable solid size
- Elevation
- Driver requirements
- Material of construction
Submersible Solids Handling Pump Features
Parameters of submersible solids-handling pumps require the units to be available
in configurations to meet user needs. Fairbanks Morse meets these demands by
providing submersible solids-handling pumps in discharge sizes from 2" to 10" in
diameter. Pumps can be of the pull-up type configuration allowing the user to
quickly pull the unit out of the wet well for inspection. The discharge
connection is made with the discharge elbow as the pump is lowered in place.
Optional submersible configuration provides a pump, which rests on the sump floor
and is hard piped to discharge piping.
Pumps, motors and pull-up systems are UL Listed for operation in Class I,
Division 1, Group C and D hazardous locations, and feature explosion-proof
construction.
Impellers are single-suction, mixed-flow design with large
passageways, vanes with blunt well-rounded leading edges and a thick hydrofoil
shape preventing long stringy material from wrapping around the leading edge.
Impellers are matched with thick-wall equalizing-pressure, constant-velocity
volutes. This design channels the flow away from the impeller vanes into the
circular flow area of the impeller passageways and casing, to ensure passage of
large solids and long stringy materials, reduce turbulence, and radial and
bending shaft forces. Abrasive wear is minimized, bearing, mechanical seal and
shaft life is lengthened, and most important, maintenance and downtime costs are
greatly reduced, resulting in true savings. An added advantage is a smooth, quiet
and trouble-free installation.
Materials of construction include cast iron volutes, cast
iron or bronze impellers and stainless steel shaft. Shafts are sealed by two
separate tandem mounted mechanical seals to protect the motor from the pumped
liquid.
Pump is driven by a UL Listed submersible motor with superior sealing features
over other submersible motor designs to ensure a durable long life unit. In fact,
Fairbanks Morse backs their submersible units with a five-year prorated
warranty.
