Self-cleaning in-line pumping stations
Prevents clogging problems caused by wipes in submersible centrifugal pumps in pumping wells
These are the main problems that Protech Continental has detected in existing pumping wells equipped with submersible centrifugal pumps:
- Costly maintenance due to continuous clogging of submersible pumps.
- Poor hygiene, high biological risk during unclogging and cleaning maintenance tasks.
- Accumulation of grease, wipes and other floating solids.
- Sedimentation of sand over time.
- Requirement for costly periodic cleaning of the pumping well.
- Odours and corrosive atmospheres that deteriorate walls and mechanical components.
- In the event of rain, spillways carry away much of the supernatant grease, discharging it freely into the sea or rivers.
Protech Continental SOLVES all these problems with its new patented inline pumping well technology
With our technology, we eliminate submersible pumps, replacing them with self-priming centrifugal pumps with large solids passage, equipped with a solids management system (susceptible to winding up inside the pump) called ERADICATOR™, specially designed to prevent the problem of blockages with wipes
The sump (where submersible pumps are usually installed) disappears and is replaced by what we call the SCS (Self Cleaning System), an inclined collector that connects to the self-priming pumps.
Our SCS technology features a fully automated Plug&Play pumping unit with frequency converters and an innovative bubble level control system, making it more efficient and effective than other solutions on the market.
