Treatment of wastewater is imperative in any society to keep water sources from being contaminated. Wastewater treatment plants come in many shapes and sizes, but all of them require rugged heavy-duty solids-handling pumps to move the wastewater through the treatment process. Whether it be head works pumps introducing the wastewater into the plant, return activated sludge pumps, waste activated sludge pumps or pumps for virtually any pump application within a wastewater treatment plane, Fairbanks Nijhuis has the product to do the job. Fairbanks Nijhuis pumps have been used in these applications for decades and can provide a broad range of solids-handling pumps, all with high efficiency resulting in low life-cycle costs.
