A new fire station created to meet the emergency services needs of the new Runway 2 at Manchester Airport is benefiting from Mono Pumps technology to handle wastewater and sewage

A new fire station created to meet the emergency services needs of the new Runway 2 at Manchester Airport is benefiting from proven Mono Pumps technology to handle wastewater and sewage from shower and toilet facilities Leading construction companies Amec and Carillion joined forces in the £172 million project to build Manchester Airports second runway and turned to Mono to provide a Mutrator sewage pumping system for the new fire station

The Mutrator pumping system consists of two CE052 industrial E range progressing cavity (p.c.) pumps and two M18D macerators.

The system was supplied with all interconnecting pipework and enclosed above ground in a double-doored GRP kiosk.

The positive displacement action of the pump lifts the sewage and wastewater from the sump into the macerator for disintegration and then transfer to the mainline sewer at a capacity of 11m3/h.

Any unacceptable solids fall back out of suspension into the sump for periodic removal.

This avoids any pump damage that usually occurs with submersible pumps.

By finely macerating the sewage before pumping, the customer benefits from small bore pumping.

Small bore rising main costs are reduced and the rising main can be installed by mole plough or slit trench methods saving considerable sums over open trench excavations.

The flexibility of small bore pipe also gives greater freedom of choice in routing layouts, and will easily follow ground contours.

The Mutrator pumping system is located in a dry, above sewage, location.

This ensures an easier, cleaner and more acceptable maintenance environment, with reduced level of sump entry risks associated with equipment submerged in sewage.

There is no need to haul the equipment out of festering sump bottoms for maintenance work.

Being a positive displacement pump, head is independent of speed.

This combined with correct pump selection leads to low wear rates, minimal spares usage, lower running costs, less downtime and hence Least Whole Life Costs.

On many high head pumping duties, Mutrators can consume less than 50% of the energy of conventional sewage pumps.

The industrial E Range progressing cavity pump incorporates the Flexishaft drive system.

This provides a single component link between the rotary motion of the drive shaft and the eccentric motion of the helical rotor.

As there are no moving parts in the Flexishaft drive train, wear is eliminated and maintenance costs usually associated with other forms of rotor/coupling rod joints are significantly reduced.

The Flexishaft also has a 5 year warranty.

The Mutrator sewage pumping system installed at Runway 2 allows all sewage and wastewater from the fire station to be easily transferred to the main line sewer at the lowest practical cost, effectively and reliably.
