NOV MONO IMPROVES EFFICIENCY FOR UNITED UTILITIES

A revolutionary EZstrip maintain in place (MIP) pump and two high performance SB Munchers have been specified by United Utilities to improve efficiency and reduce downtime at its Pumping Station in Kirkbride, North Cumbria.

The site, which was experiencing problems with its existing centrifugal pumps continuously blocking, causing significant downtime for the station, turned to the leading pump manufacturer to provide a bespoke solution.

Chris Cooke, Area Maintenance engineer at Kirkbride Pumping Station, commented: “Highly frustrated with our existing centrifugal pumps, we turned to NOV Mono, who we knew to be very reliable in raw sewage applications, to provide us with the answer we were looking for.

“Installed on a duty assist operation at a capacity of 39m3/h, we specified NOV Mono’s new EZstrip cavity PC pump, which can be fully stripped down and maintained in just 30 minutes, along with two of its high torque low speed SB Munchers. “Since its installation, the NOV Mono equipment has been operating smoothly and we couldn’t be happier. With the complete strip down of the EZstrip system so quick and easy, downtime at the site has been significantly reduced.”
