"Infoksvodokanal" continues to modernize its facilities. Today, large-scale renovations affected the main sewage pumping station. This was reported in the press service of the company.
Work was carried out here in three stages. First, specialists replaced the power supply lines and the transformer substation. This will ensure reliable operation regardless of weather conditions.
At the second stage, the pressure sewer collector in the area of the irrigation fields was replaced. Instead of the old pipe, which had reached its operational limit, almost 1000 meters of a new fiberglass pipe with a diameter of 1200 mm were laid.
The company's specialists note that the service life of fiberglass pipes is much longer than that of steel pipes. It is through these collectors that domestic sewage from the greater part of Odessa is pumped to the "Severnaya" biological treatment station. The wastewater itself, in addition to the aggressive environment, has abrasive particles that contribute to the rapid destruction of the bottom of the pipeline, which is fraught with emergency situations. There is no such thing in fiberglass, it is more resistant to aggressive drains and to mechanical impact.
And finally, the most important equipment of the station - pumps - was renewed. "Infoksvodokanal" purchased and installed three Danish-made submersible pumps and an Italian vertical pump. In contrast to outdated domestic pumps, new European pumps are unique in their power and reliability, and also allow saving about 30% of electricity.
Director of Infoxvodokanal, Igor Lysenko, noted that the company prefers equipment from European manufacturers, because it guarantees quality, reliability and energy efficiency.
Now the company's employees are completing the installation of the second fiberglass pressure collector. Thus, the main sewage pumping station will become another fully renovated energy-efficient water supply facility that will meet European requirements.
Information: The main sewage pumping station is one of the most important sewer arteries of the water channel, thanks to which the work of almost the entire sewage system of the city is ensured. The pumping station is connected by pressure collectors to the "Severnaya" biological treatment station and pumps about 70% of sewage from the entire city there for subsequent treatment. About 140 cubic meters of wastewater pass through it per day.
