The challenge

A healthy environment is imperative for the tourism industry in the region. In areas with accommodations, such as camp sites and holiday parks, the wastewater has a great variety of pollutions since everything gets thrown into the sewer. The wastewater pumping stations need to be equipped with pumps that can handle a diversity of pollution efficiently and without disruptions.

The solution

The submersible sewage pumps type ABS XFP with the new Contrablock impeller that were installed in the wastewater pumping stations in Sluis are specifically engineered to handle today’s tough wastewater. The municipality of Sluis has already experienced a reduction in the power consumption by 15% as a direct consequence of the new pump installations. The problems of clogging have more or less vanished and the new telemetry system has made it possible to continuously overview the performance of all stations.

We are very pleased with the savings achieved with the Sulzer submersible sewage pumps.

Customer benefits

The project has been running for 10 years and the number of failures has decreased by 80%. The pump installations have given substantial energy savings with lower operating costs as a result. With the telemetry system the operation in every pumping station is monitored making sure that the station operates in the most efficient and reliable way.
