Reducing downtime for water in Wales

摘要

A Welsh water treatment supplier had problems with pumps that required a complete overhaul every six months, and greatly decreased process efficiency. Installing a new range of progressive cavity pumps made it possible to remove parts in situ and reduce maintenance downtime. Dwr Cymru (Welsh Water) supplies water, sewerage and trade effluent services to homes, offices and businesses in Wales and parts of England. It supplies on average around 850 million litres of water every day through a network of 550 service reservoirs and around 27,000 km of water mains. The company's sewage treatment works (STW), based in Ruthin, Wales, needed to improve process efficiency by reducing maintenance downtime at the site.
