Pumps for conveying dewatered sewage sludge

Along with sand additives, wastewater being treated often contains coarse floating pollutants, decomposing matter, sludge-generating particulate materials, dissolved organic matter and bacteria.

Solid sewage sludge causes daily pump breakdowns

None of these substances present any problem for NETZSCH Pumps and Grinding Systems: Our NEMO® Progressing Cavity Pumps and NETZSCH TORNADO® Rotary Lobe Pumps, along with the NEMO® M-Ovas® provide you with the optimal technical solution for your application.

The NEMO® BF hopper shaped progressing cavity pump with aBP-Module® prevents bridging in all branches of industry.

NEMO® BF hopper pump with aBP-modules® conveys solid sewage sludge

NETZSCH developed the NEMO® BF hopper shaped pump with aBP-Module®, especially for highly viscous, stab-resistant and crumbly media. This consists of a top shaft with flat spoked wheels mounted on the inside. The wheels sit deep in the shaft and close to the wall. If they rotate, this affects the material being conveyed, as if the entire sides of the shaft were moving. Thus, using the NEMO® BF pump to convey solid sewage sludge prevents clogging and bridging

The following flow chart shows the individual processing steps in wastewater treatment for communal and industrial sewage plants, from inflow to discharge into the disposal system, along with the corresponding sludge treatment.
