The Dura Pump wastewater system is an innovative solution designed to handle challenging materials and high-volume waste. The system features two high-efficiency submersible cutter pumps, equipped with an extended knife system. These pumps are ideal for handling tough, solid waste and can efficiently cut through difficult materials, preventing blockages and ensuring smooth operation even in the harshest conditions. The pumps are securely mounted on guide rails providing enhanced safety during installation and easy and efficient maintenance.
Key features of the Dura Pump system include:
- High-efficiency submersible cutter pumps: Designed to manage challenging materials and high volumes of waste, these pumps are built to handle even the toughest debris, preventing blockages and reducing maintenance needs.
- Heavy-duty PVC or Ductile-lined pipework: Depending on the specific application, the system uses either heavy-duty PVC or ductile-lined pipework, both of which are rust-resistant and durable. This ensures long-term reliability and performance in various environmental conditions.
- Durable cast iron valves: These robust valves are integrated into the system to provide added protection to the pumps and the overall system. Their strength minimises the risk of costly repairs and helps the system last longer.
- Tough floats: The system uses durable floats to effectively manage wastewater levels. These floats provide early warnings for high-level conditions. This helps prevent system overloads and reduces the risk of breakdowns.
In addition, the Dura Pump system incorporates advanced control technology designed to optimise performance. The new control panel, which features Danfoss inverter drives, allows for precise control of the pump’s operations and provides excellent energy efficiency. With radar-based level control, the system accurately measures the tank levels, ensuring that the pumps are activated only when necessary. This reduces energy consumption and extends the lifespan of the pumps.
The Dura Pump system excels at solving some of the most common challenges faced by wastewater systems, including:
- Floating debris: The system continuously skims the surface of the tank, removing floating debris and preventing blockages. This function can be repeated multiple times a day, ensuring that the system operates smoothly and efficiently without the need for frequent manual intervention.
- Fat buildup: One of the most common problems in wastewater systems is fat accumulation, which can lead to clogging and reduced system efficiency. The Dura Pump system addresses this issue by regularly skimming the tank, significantly reducing fat buildup. Additionally, the system features an adjustable stop/start level that prevents fat from collecting at any one point, further enhancing the system’s performance.
- High solids content: The Landia cutter pumps are specifically designed to tackle high solids content, easily breaking down large waste items such as shoes, jeans and even bed sheets. This makes them ideal for systems that deal with a variety of solid waste materials.
Beyond its efficiency in dealing with debris and solids, the Dura Pump system is also highly energy-efficient. It includes an energy optimisation feature, which automatically detects the incoming flow rate and adjusts the pump’s duty accordingly. This feature ensures that the system only uses the energy necessary for the job, leading to significant cost savings and a reduction in energy consumption over time. The system also includes an automatic pipe flushing function, which helps maintain the cleanliness of the system.
Another key component of the Dura Pump system is the GMS Remote Monitoring System and alert capabilities. This allows for constant oversight of the system’s performance. If there is any issue with the pump, power or tank levels, the system will send instant alerts via SMS or email to a designated recipient, enabling quick responses and preventing potential system failures. Historical trends and performance data are also available for review, allowing operators to track the system’s health over time and anticipate any maintenance needs.
In addition to these advanced features, the system is fully integrated with the site’s Building Management System (BMS), allowing for seamless communication and further oversight through the BMS network. This integration makes it easier to monitor and manage the entire system from a centralised platform, enhancing convenience and efficiency.
Overall, the Dura Pump wastewater system offers a comprehensive, energy-efficient solution to managing difficult materials and high-volume waste. With its advanced features, intelligent control systems and robust design, it ensures optimal performance, reduced maintenance and long-term reliability. Whether you are dealing with floating debris, fat buildup or high solids content, this Dura Pump system provides a reliable, cost-effective solution tailored to meet the unique demands of your wastewater management.
