SOUTH WEST WATER APPROVES EZSTRIP

In a bid to improve efficiency and reduce downtime across the board, South West Water has approved the EZstripTM maintain in place progressing cavity pump from NOV® Mono® for use at their waste water treatment plants.

South West Water, which is part of the Pennon Group Plc, is responsible for maintaining and improving the region’s environment and bathing waters, as well as making sure that its 1.6 million customers have reliable access to high quality drinking water and wastewater facilities.

Commenting on the recent decision, the South West Water approval team said: “After an extensive trial we approved the use of the Mono EZstripTM pump. Due to its simple construction and innovative PC pump design, we expect to see a significant reduction in downtime for rotor / stator replacement, which in turn, will save on both process time and labour costs.

“As well as dramatically reducing asset downtime and maintenance costs at SWW, the EZstrip pump will eliminate the difficulty, time and cost involved to de-rag a pump. Mono has provided and demonstrated an innovative solution which is backed by the integrity of the Mono brand.” The EZstripTM has been specifically designed to provide a quick and easy way to disassemble, de-rag and maintain a PC pump in-situ. Its innovative suction chamber has a two piece design that can be dismantled and rebuilt with a spanner and an Allen key.
