Minimizing Life Cycle Costs of Wastewater Pumps

Protecting natural resources often involves new technological challenges. For instance, the decrease per capita in water consumption (including industrial consumption) results in a reduction of the total quantity of wastewater. The resulting higher solid content of wastewater leads to oversized sewers silting up faster, stagnant wastewater, and an increase in its hydrogen sulfide content. Further challenges arise from the economic pressure on disposal plants. The target is to minimize the life cycle cost of wastewater pumps.
