Pulsonic taps Watson-Marlow for wastewater sampler pumps

“We found we simply couldn’t get the performance elsewhere in terms of pump lift capability,” said Pulsonic’s business development manager, Liam Duffy. “A lot of the trade effluent produced by companies such as food manufacturers flows through underground drains where the lift often needs to be as much as seven metres.

To meet these requirements, the company turned to a 501FDC/RL OEM from Watson-Marlow, which had worked with Pulsonic for many years on the instrumentation side of its business.

“Normally an additional pump would be required [for such applications], but the capability of the Watson-Marlow pump saves this extra cost,” said Duffy.

Watson-Marlow’s 501FDC/RL OEM pump features a single-channel 501RL pumphead, a 12V direct current motor, a new Watson-Marlow gearbox and an aluminium faceplate. The model is said to provide the highest torque output, pump speeds and flow rates of all Watson-Marlow OEM pumps.

“Water companies charge processing factories and other industrial customers with trade effluent consents on both their volume and toxicity,” noted Duffy. “At places such as food manufacturers where there is no sampling equipment in place, the water company visits once or twice a month and takes a spot sample for analysis. This can often result in massively unrepresentative samples and therefore inconsistent bills.”

As the Hydrocell wastewater sampler is linked to a flow meter via relay technology, representative samples are always produced – through a composite sample-taking procedure – for billing purposes, claims Pulsonic. The systems, it said, run on a daily basis from midnight to midnight, and are programmed to switch bottles automatically at 00:00 hours.

“We have extensive experience in this field and often see that bills get reduced once a wastewater sampler has been installed,” concluded Duffy. “The Hydrocell Sampler with Watson-Marlow pump technology put us in a strong market position as it provides robust, outdoor capability from a single unit. In a world where environmental monitoring is becoming increasingly important, and in an industry where standards are continuously tightened, monitoring solutions need to be accurate, reliable, easy-to-use and give data that is simple to interpret.”

Pulsonic offers products and turnkey projects for flow monitoring and control, level control, wastewater sampling and industrial wastewater treatment.
