Watson-Marlow Peristaltic Pumps in Breakthrough Application
()
South West Water is using a peristaltic pump from Watson-Marlow Bredel for dosing coagulant into raw reservoir water for purification purposes. It is thought to be the first time peristaltic technology has been used on a coagulant application, certainly within the southwest region.
Originally the plant, near Falmouth in Cornwall, employed two conventional diaphragm pumps, however, suffering from blocking due to crystallisation, it was decided to investigate alternatives for the critical process of coagulant dosing. Following discussion with Watson-Marlow, South West Water took two 520DuN/R2...

- Will water be the oil of tomorrow? - With the water issue making
the headlines of so many newspapers as the Water Summit took place in
Mexico in March, one could have hardly ignored the extent to which the
most precious liquid on earth is becoming scarce. But long before this
summit, the trend hadn't gone unnoticed by executives at Pictet Asset
