Metering pumps in sewage plants

In order to keep the coordinated microbiological processes of sewage plants in balance additives have to be applied when necessary. 

Solutions

LEWA supplies sturdy metering pumps that can easily be implemented in metering systems, either in new ones in the planning phase or as replacement for older pumps in existing systems. LEWA pumps are provided in a modular design that grants a high flexibility.

A wide range of material choices assures highest chemical resistance and a long lifetime of the wetted parts in every situation. The pumps are designed for long-term use and high availability, amongst others due to sandwich diaphragms which provide emergency running properties in case one of the diaphragm layers is worn. Additionally, the most important spare parts are always in stock.

LEWA metering pumps convey additives in sewage plants:

For example: C-sources like isopropanol and glycerin or ferric chloride and other flocculants

Background

Sewage treatment plants are necessary to turn wastewater from households or municipalities into clean water that can be returned to the water cycle.

In such plants, there are several process steps for removing unwanted contaminants – physically, microbiologically and chemically. Depending on the composition of the various wastewater types that enter the plant, auxiliary fluids like isopropanol have to be added to keep the conditions for microbiological stability within certain limits. E.g., when the level of C-sources is too low.

Flocculants help to coagulate ingredients that microbes cannot neutralize. Those molecules may then be removed mechanically.
