Solids Pumping and mixing specialists P&M Pumps has developed the Stormthrust having identified the potential for a combined mixing, aeration and cleaning system that will also condition and effectively deal with problem solids and rags without causing the blockages that occur with traditional methods. Stormthrust meets the requirements through bespoke tank designs and incorporates the Vaughan Chopper pump that not only conditions the heavy solids but also creates sufficient flows through high velocity venturi nozzles located on the floor of the tank. The result is comprehensive solids suspension and as liquid levels fall the system will direct flow towards the drain end of the tank. Following trials, 21 Stormthrust systems are being installed at two large Thames Water sites.
