Abaque Hose Pumps To Serve In New Wastewater Treatment Plant

To minimise the risk of clogging and breakdowns, the wastewater treatment plant sought our expertise in selecting the best pumps for handling waste slurries, emphasizing the need for efficient hose pumps.

Given the nature of the working fluid and the need for a durable solution, our team chose the Abaque HD50 peristaltic hose pumps. With robust ductile iron and steel construction, these pumps significantly reduce maintenance and repair needs compared to other hose pumps and pump types on the market.

Abaque Hose Pumps for Wastewater Handling

Abaque peristaltic hose pumps are highly effective in challenging fluid transfer applications, such as wastewater management. Their design and operational features make them ideal for handling viscous and abrasive slurries, thin non-lubricating fluids, and shear-sensitive materials.

Key Features for Waste Handling

• In hose pumps, the fluid only contacts the hose, making this technology ideal for transferring corrosive and abrasive liquids.
• This type of pump maintains volumetric consistency, making it ideal for the strict dosing and continuous operation required in wastewater treatment plants.
• The sealless design of Abaque hose pumps eliminates leaks, allowing them to handle demanding water and wastewater pumping applications.
• They feature reversible pumping action, self-priming capabilities, suction lift up to 9 meters, and can run dry continuously without damage.
• The operating principle of hose pumps transfers the product through the hose at a constant displacement rate.
• The pump casing is lubricated to cool the pump and prolong the service life of the shoes and hose.
• The robust ductile iron and steel construction enables discharge pressures of up to 16 bar.

Hose Options

The hoses come in four materials, each providing high fatigue resistance:

• Natural rubber – highly resilient with excellent abrasion resistance and strength
• EPDM – high chemical resistance, especially when handling concentrated acids and alcohols
• Buna®-N – highly wear-resistant to natural gas-containing products
• Hypalon®: Resistant to chemicals. High resistance to oxidants, as well as to concentrated bases and acids

Abaque hose pumps are available in 10 sizes, with flow rates ranging from 1.7 to 1,249 L/min. They are designed to transfer fluids with viscosities ranging from water-like (as low as 1 cSt) to those as high as 70,000 cSt (352,000 SSU). The pumps can handle solid particle sizes ranging from 1.5 mm to 18 mm and soft particle sizes from 1.5 mm to 31 mm. Additionally, all Abaque pumps can manage product temperature
