Xylem produces pump handbooks

The Flygt Handbook of Sludge Pumping and Flygt Handbook of Mixing include details about the advantages of different pump types for transporting sludge, how to estimate the required pump head pressure in a sludge transportation system and a number of case stories spanning Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and the UK.   “The ‘Flygt Handbook of Sludge Pumping’ aims to fill a knowledge gap about how to deal most efficiently and effectively with sludge pumping,” said Magnus Fahlgren, mechanical engineer and executive editor at Xylem. “Increasing awareness about environmental issues is one of the factors driving the development of more efficient pollution treatment methods. his has resulted in the enhanced removal of organic solids from liquid streams which in turn has led to an increased interest in systems for sludge transportation.”
