Wilmington, MA -- Separating suspended solids from liquids before discharging to a sewer or water course can present a problem when materials won’t settle[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"28850","attributes":{"class":"media-image","height":"177","id":"1","style":"float: right; margin: 2px;","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"248"}}]] quickly. Water Treatment Plants have overcome this obstacle by using Watson-Marlow peristaltic pumps in their flocculation process. Downtime is eliminated due to their robust and reliable peristaltic pumps.
In a Watson-Marlow pump, nothing but the tube touches the fluid, eliminating the risk of the pump contaminating the fluid or the fluid contaminating the pump. Fluid is drawn into the pump head and trapped between the rollers and the track. The complete closure of the tube gives the pump its positive displacement action, preventing backflow and eliminating the need for check-valves when the pump is not running.
Able to run 24/7, the Watson-Marlow peristaltic pump is ideal for slurries, viscous, shear-sensitive and aggressive fluids. They are easy to install and simple to operate. In addition, up to eight different tube sizes may be utilized in one pump.
Available in Manual, Auto, SCADA and PROFIBUS control, Watson-Marlow pumps offer a million:1 flow range with 0.1 rpm accuracy. Backed by their 5 year warranty Watson-Marlow pumps are more accurate and reliable than diaphragm pumps.
For over 50 years Watson-Marlow has been developing products that do more than just move fluids, they improve the process. Watson-Marlow peristaltic pumps offer ultimate process monitoring through manual, auto or PROFIBUS control. Our pumps deliver the best combination of pump and drive technology meeting the accuracy and control demands for tough applications.
