Smart connected wastewater pumping solutions

Lecture

Challenges in wastewater pumping are numerous: from increasing solid contents and higher demands in terms of operation safety to stronger regulations for energy efficiency up to increasing difficulties to find skilled workforce for operation and service of wastewater systems.

In this regard, it is of utmost importance to update the way of operating wastewater pumping systems to the latest technology standards and to use the capabilities of the 21st century: The fast development of electronics and IT offers new solutions for the increasing challenges of wastewater transport in terms of reliability, energy efficiency and connectivity. The new technologies upgrade pumps and pumping systems to smart devices with new features for the three named action fields.

With these advantages in hand, pumps are not only persuading the energy consumption reduction. They also offer increased operational safety by demanding less attention and workforce, less service intervention so they are easing the workload and costs for the operators.
