Reducing downtime at water utility
Upgrading of Winslow Township municipal water and sewer system
Winslow Township is the largest town in Camden County, NJ, USA. The town runs its own in-house water and sewer utility. The pumps installed in the two pumps stations - Ivy Hall and Victoria Manor - often clogged and experienced reliability issues. Even partially clogged pumps greatly reduce energy efficiency. Customer callout time and overtime to service these stations was very high.
The challenge
The Winslow Township sought relief from its clog-prone, unreliable pumps. The customer required strong local service support and superior product technology to solve their problem.
The solution
Sulzer supported Winslow in the upgrade and expansion of its municipal water and sewer system by supplying Ivy Hall and Victoria Manor with more reliable submersible sewage pumps type ABS XFP. These pumps handle the tough solids better than the competitor’s clog-prone pumps did. To better service its customers locally, Sulzer invested by leveraging the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Easley, SC, for configuration and testing of submersible wastewater pumps.
