Wastewater collection systems tell us a lot about modern consumer habits. They certainly know a lot about local weather conditions too. The pumping conditions are constantly varying and the station must stand the handling of wastewater with gravel from roads mixed wih sanitary articles and packaging materials, dry periods followed by heavy rains or snow with more salt and grit.

Collection systems 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. Problems with clogging, ling travel time to breakdowns increaseing engergy costs, risk of overflows, shortage of people and the continuous pressure to reduce cost is the reality of the day to day operation of pumping stations.

Room for improvement
Highlighting the cost saving opportunities is not difficult; delivering the saving is the challenge. 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 systems 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. Our solution builds on tried and tested equipment combination developed for working in the aggressive environment of wastewater.
