Submersible recirculation pump type ABS RCP
Efficient recirculation in activated sludge
The RCP is Sulzer’s standard range of recirculation pumps, specifically designed for pumping and recirculation of activated sludge in the denitrification/nitrification process of a wastewater treatment plants. This compact and easy-to-handle pump is efficient and reliable. RCP pumps are designed for large flows and low heads between 0.1 and 1.8 m (4 to 71 in). Compared to conventional axial flow pumps, recirculation pumps do not require expensive structures in the tank, such as inflow chamber and a large rising pipe.
