AHLSTAR pumps with maintenance-free dynamic sealsThe paper mill includes a conventional wastewater treatment plant which treats about 20'000 m³ per day of process effluents. At the output of the plant, about 30% of the discharge water is reintroduced into the mill circuit and the remaining 70% is returned to the Moselle river. Despite the increasing stringency on the quality of the discharge water, no environmental incident has occurred since the start-up of the plant.

Lower maintenance and operational costs for industrial wastewater treatmentThe industrial effluents of the Camaçari petrochemical complex are collected and conveyed to a centralized secondary wastewater treatment plant operated by Cetrel. In the activated sludge recirculation process, expensive maintenance was needed for the Archimedean screw pumps. Cetrel decided to replace them by more cost-effective and efficient pumps.

Sulzer pumps at the heart of the largest smolt facility in NorwayNordlaks is a Norwegian fully-integrated company that produces, processes and sells Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout worldwide. It has recently completed the building of a new smolt facility for fish up to 500 grams at Innhavet in Hamarøy municipality. This RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System) fish farm is the biggest of its kind in Norway, with special focus on smolt welfare. The land-based facility has state-of-the-art equipment for optimal biosecurity and sustainability. At the heart of the RAS process, all recirculation pumps were supplied by Sulzer.

AHLSTAR and SNS pumps throughout corn ethanol processFS Bioenergia, located near Lucas do Rio Verde, Mato Grosso, is the first corn-only ethanol plant in Brazil. The production started in 2017 and the annual capacity is 250 million liters today. The facility utilizes the latest process technologies from ICM, an innovative company headquartered in Colwich, KS, USA that has become a world leader in biorefining technologies and processes. In addition to bioethanol, some high-value coproducts such as corn oil as well as high-protein and high-fiber dried distiller’s grains are produced. The plant also generates electricity from the biomass, partly for internal use and the surplus for sale.
