The problem with the hated sewage blockers practically solved with the help of experience

The town of Wildeshausen, located in the nature reserve of the same name, is surrounded by fields and woods and has recently experienced a strong influx of new inhabitants drawn to its natural setting. To these people, this popular holiday destination is home.
Up until a few years ago, however, problems in the sewer system pumping stations of this county town for the district of Oldenburg in Lower Saxony would often interrupt the tranquility. But when the municipality hired a former wastewater specialist from the potato processing industry, the solution was soon found. He invested in rotary lobe pumps from Vogelsang, which are resistant to foreign matter. Blockages caused by wet wipes are now a rarity.

Safe and reliable wastewater disposal and purification is becoming increasingly important in order to protect waters and the environment and maintain a high quality of life. At the same time, sewage systems are increasingly struggling with fat bergs and wet wipes, which drive up operating costs. This makes it all the more important to integrate efficient and reliable wastewater treatment technologies.

We will tell you how you can reliably reduce solids with the right equipment and thus protect your pumps and systems from harmful foreign matter.

Are you looking for an economical pumping solution for a wide range of application scenarios? Then the rotary lobe pump is just what you need. But what is the technology behind this all-round talent and in which industries is this versatile pump particularly popular? We introduce you to our Powerhouse.

A pump as a multi-talent: The progressing cavity pump is powerful and versatile. It is not even particularly sophisticated, but rather very performance-friendly and optimally adapted to the needs of its users, for example the biogas industry. But how does an progressing cavity pump work and where is it used? We discuss essential details and information about the Vogelsang "Allrounder" and why the QuickService is advantageous for users.

The Koblenz sewage treatment plant has been situated right on the Rhine for over 50 years. Going back only a few years, digestion tower circulation was frequently disrupted due to clogged pumps. As a solution to this problem, the sewage treatment plant now relies on the XRipper XRP
wastewater grinder from Vogelsang.

Wildeshausen wastewater treatment plant: Unconventional but simply practical. Emptying the tank with a tractor and Vogelsang pumps

Wildeshausen: The county seat in the district of Oldenburg is located directly on the Hunte river in a region rich in agricultural land and forests. The next big city is not far away and yet – or precisely because of the location – the number of inhabitants is steadily increasing. This continuous growth and the constantly increasing requirements for wastewater treatment make it necessary to continuously develop the wastewater treatment plant, which is operated by the city.

Trouble free pumping of dirty water and wastewater is essential for a functional sewer system. Therefore, you need the right pump to ensure optimal flow. But which pump systems are the most efficient for this purpose? Correspond with the provisions of the wastewater regulation and reliably cope with events such as heavy rain? We look into it and explain what needs to be considered.

XRipper XRC ensures properly functioning sanitary systems

The XRipper XRC twin-shaft grinder with Sewer Integration Kit (SIK) can be used in a variety of applications thanks to its compact design. At the Piper campsite in Italy, it shreds the coarse matter contained in the wastewater to ensure smooth operation of the sanitary facilities.

The digital revolution of waste water systems and its advantages

It’s known in Germany as “Industrie 4.0,” in France as “Industrie du future” and in the USA as the “Internet of Things (IoT).” Almost everyone has heard at least one of these buzzwords by now, and has a more or less accurate idea of what the fourth industrial revolution entails: Following on from mechanization, mass production and automation, we are now seeing an extensive computerization of production sequences and processes. The basis for this development is formed by structured, automated communication between people, machines, systems and logistics. The result will be a largely self-organized and flexible system that covers the entire value chain.

Episode 1: How wet wipes turn into sewer monsters

Operators of sewage systems like waste water associations or municipalities have been facing a new challenge in recent times: More and more hygiene products and disposable cosmetic products are not thrown in the trash, they end up in the toilet and then in the sewage system.
