Water Treatment Plant Sludge Pump Manufacturers

Water Treatment Plant Sludge Pump Manufacturers

(OP)
We are in the process of replacing our water treatment plant's two (2) sludge pumps that remove the sludge from the bottom of the settlement basin.

The "lay-in" length of the original pumps is 17-1/4" (from centerline of suction side to the flange on the discharge side - see attached PDF). However, in looking at a Seepex BN 35-6LS (a new pump comparable to the exiting pump), the "lay-in" length is 36-0 15/32", which is over 2x the original "lay-in" length.

As you can see from the attached PDF, installing the new pump will require almost an entire retro-fit of the existing plumbing in the pump room. In addition, the proposed layout will also interfere with piping and valving that is below floor level.

I was hoping that someone could offer up alternate pumps and/or manufacturers that can be used in our application that have shorter "lay-in" lengths.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and comments.

Looks like you forgot the pdf and operating parameters.
