Industry: Wastewater Treatment
Application: High Pressure Water and Effluent Metering
The Challenge
Reliable pumping of the process liquid which is charged with hard, solid
particles from crushed circuit boards; concentrate can go up to 10% in
volume and size up to 200 µm.
Application Details
An engineering company provides major customers in various industries a range of services from
technical studies, to process design, engineering and turnkey solutions.
For a pilot in a waste treatment plant, this customer needed an injection pump to deliver a wide flow
rate range at high pressure, whilst reliably handling the water and effluents with solid particles.
Initial tests were run with a traditional diaphragm metering pump (Bran+Luebbe); this technology failed
due to the particle sedimentation build-up within the valves.

Flow rate: 0.5-5 l/hr (0.13-1.32 US g/hr)
Pressure: 240 barg (3481 psi)
Liquid: Water & effluent with solid particles
Hydra-Cell Pro® Advantages
- Unique check valves design reliably handles liquids with particles.
- With an extremely low pulse flow, the need for a pulsation dampener was eliminated – greatly
- reducing acquisition and maintenance costs.
