Networks consist of a large number of pumping stations and other equipment located over a large geographical area. In many cases we also rely on overloaded operators who work with a vast range of equipment types and applications.

When we look at what is possible in terms of improvement with wastewater pumping stations, we can see that the potential for cost savings is very high. This is welcome news when we work in an environment that is under continuous pressure to reduce running costs and improve efficiency.

Room for improvement
At ABS we have years of experience in working with wastewater pumping stations. This experience has been put to use when we developed a range of solutions for the most efficient maintenance, operations and energy management of your pumping stations. ABS has also focused on the fact that it is not always possible, as a result of high workloads, to change the way networks are operated. Rather than relying solely on changing the skills and attitudes of the workforce, we have instead focused on the need for simple reliable solutions. Solutions that can be consistently repeated and give a lifetime of reliable operation in line with your business needs.

> Network pumping stations
Pumping conditions are constantly varying and the station must be able to handle wastewater with gravel from roads mixed with sanitary articles and packaging materials, dry periods followed by heavy rains or snow with more salt and grit.

ABS EffeX range submersible pumps from 1.3 to 18.5  kW (models PE1 to PE3) are supplied for reliable and economic pumping of clear water, polluted water and heavily polluted sewage containing solids, faecal slurry and sludge in commercial, industrial and municipal applications.

> Terminal pumping stations
Pumping wastewater is a difficult job. It requires robust solutions to secure operation without frequent site attendances. ABS designs solutions where maintenance activities can be planned and undertaken at the optimum time frame. We offer the right ABS EffeX submersible sewage pumps for your application, offsetting the cost of investment against the savings in energy costs and high performance. These solutions will not only meet your requirements to move wastewater, but also fit with your business needs and available personnel.

ABS EffeX range models PE3 to PE5 (18.5-110 kW) are best suited to applications here. They offer high levels of blockage resistance and superior reliability, along with the highest motor efficiency in the submersible pump industry through their IE3 motors.

> Engineered pumping stations
The secret of designing effective large pumping stations is experience and knowledge of the complete solution. Just selecting large pumps and installing them in a sump could buy you a lifetime of problems. Cavitation, air entrainment, poor efficiency and poor reliability are just a few issues you will face if you start out wrong.

When it comes to pumping, ABS offers the complete solution with our ABS EffeX range of submersible sewage pumps. Models from 1.3 to 250  kW (models PE1 to PE6) are supplied for reliable and economic pumping of clear water, polluted water and heavily polluted sewage containing solids, faecal slurry and sludge in commercial, industrial and municipal applications.
