Environmental engineering

Water treatment and wastewater treatment are similar processes in many respects, but water treatment usually precedes a subsequent process, whereas wastewater treatment is usually at the end of a process chain. In most cases, substances must be separated, impurities removed, or additives added until the desired quality is achieved. In both cases, a wide variety of options are available for filtering and conveying the media. BRIDGE Industry Consulting partners have a wide range of options for meeting the respective requirements for pumps and filters with optimal equipment. In addition to the precise design to meet the desired conveying parameters, other issues are often relevant, such as chemical resistance, sealing technology, abrasion resistance, and energy efficiency. A wide range of materials, designs, and delivery principles helps to achieve the optimal solution in terms of cost-effectiveness and environmental responsibility. Various wastewater pumps as well as pumps for pure media are available. The materials range from plastic pumps to cast metals to solid materials made of special stainless steels.

The field of exhaust air purification also requires pump technology, usually in the form of pumps for exhaust air scrubbers, which either supply spray nozzles or lances with the necessary flow rate and delivery pressure, or dose chemicals, as well as pump out wastewater or circulate it for filtering. The right choice of material is just as crucial as the appropriate design and selection of pump technology, e.g., in the form of the impeller geometry itself. BIRDGE Industry Consulting works closely with the respective pump manufacturer to support the optimal selection and design (e.g., installation position) of the appropriate pump technology.

Whether chemicals or contaminated wastewater, BRIDGE Industry Consulting and its pump partners have the right pump technology to meet the demanding requirements of the recycling industry. When it comes to the supply and disposal of liquid waste materials, abrasion, corrosion, high solids content, high temperatures, and high viscosities often result in requirements that standard pumps cannot meet. This requires individually customized pump technology in close consultation to achieve the desired parameters and operational reliability. Durable pump technology pays for itself over its service life, but cannot be achieved without prior application-specific design. Here, end customers as well as plant designers and builders are supported with the expert know-how of our pump experts.
