Background:

A wastewater treatment plant under a new project development required a high-end chemical transfer pump for sodium hypochlorite service. The customer’s objective was to implement a best-in-class pumping solution from the outset of the project to ensure long-term reliability, safety, and operational efficiency.

Challenge:

As part of a greenfield installation, the key challenge was not equipment replacement but correct selection and engineering validation of a premium pump solution suitable for continuous sodium hypochlorite handling. The system required:

• Zero-leakage operation for hazardous chemical safety

• High corrosion resistance in aggressive chemical service

• Stable performance at 5 GPM flow and minimum 25 ft head

• Long service life with minimal maintenance requirements

• Engineering assurance through proper technical evaluation and support

Solution Provided:

Following detailed technical consultation and presales engineering clarification, the Finish Thompson Inc DB6 Magnetic Drive Pump was selected as the most suitable solution for the application.

The pump configuration fully complied with the required specification:

• Pump Type: Magnetic Drive, seal-less design ensuring zero leakage

• Material of Construction: ETFE housing for superior chemical resistance

• Flow Rate: 5 GPM

• Head: ≥ 25 ft

Scope of Delivery:

The project was executed with a complete engineering and support package:

• Technical consultation with end-user engineering team

• Pre-sales clarification and application review

• Pumps selection and configuration finalization

• Supply of complete pumps package of (29 pcs)

• Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) coordination and execution

• Technical support during installation and commissioning

Result:

The DB6 magnetic drive pumps were successfully installed and commissioned, delivering safe, leak-free, and reliable sodium hypochlorite transfer performance. The structured engineering approach ensured correct equipment selection, while FAT and on-site support enabled smooth integration into the new wastewater treatment system.

Conclusion:

Through comprehensive technical engagement and execution support, the Finish Thompson Inc DB6 pumps were delivered as a robust, high-performance solution for critical chemical duty, fully aligned with the customer’s objective of deploying best-in-class equipment for their new facility.

As a fluid handling specialist, SSPL, with its decades of expertise and technical strength, successfully executed the project despite challenges, ensuring precise selection, seamless delivery, and reliable commissioning support.
