The primary role of a pump in a wastewater treatment system is to transfer water from one treatment stage to the next, such as moving treated wastewater from screw presses, plate and frame filter presses, or belt filter presses to storage tanks or subsequent processes. Selecting the correct pump type based on specific needs and water quality conditions can enhance efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.
Flow Rate and Head: Each treatment stage has different water transfer needs. For instance, DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) systems or MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) systems often require high water flow rates, so the pump must provide a steady flow. The head (or pressure) should also match the height differences within the system.
Material Durability: The pump material should be corrosion-resistant, especially when dealing with water containing chemicals or corrosive substances. Choosing a pump made from anti-corrosion materials ensures stable, long-term operation. For example, an acid and alkali-resistant pump used alongside PH/ORP controllers can help control the pH levels in water quality management.
Energy Consumption and Efficiency: Pumps in wastewater treatment often operate for extended periods, so maintaining high efficiency with low energy consumption is crucial. Choosing energy-efficient pumps can significantly reduce operating costs, a key factor for wastewater treatment companies in Thailand when purchasing equipment.
In pure water treatment processes, such as RO (Reverse Osmosis) and EDI (Electrodeionization) ultra-pure water systems, precise water quality control is essential. The flow rate and pressure of the pump directly affect the purity and processing efficiency of the final water quality, so pumps with stable delivery capabilities and high corrosion resistance are essential.
