Primary Sludge Pumps at a WWTP
Primary sludge pumps are typically used in municipal Wastewater treatment facilities to transfer digested sewage and sludge. This is a broad pump category that encompasses positive displacement pumps to pump sludge in ranges usually up to about 500 GPM. The choices of pumps vary from double diaphragm pumps, plunger pumps, double disc pumps, rotary lobe pumps, progressive cavity pumps and more.
In todays pump marketplace, there are generally two schools that operators and consulting engineers follow when specifying primary sludge pumps. The first option is to install a more robust pump model with features like ball check technology to manage varying solids percentages or abrasive solids. These pumps typically cost a bit more to begin, but the spare parts costs are much lower down the road. Examples of such pumps are plunger pumps, double diaphragm pumps and double disc pumps.
