Specialist pump success edges SCP closer to next major milestone

Pump case

Our SIXEP Continuity Plant (SCP) team is edging closer to achieving its next major project wide milestone (PWO3), with the final remote maintainable pump passing its functional test.

Pump being removed from test rigManufactured by Hayward Tyler and Stainless Metalcraft, all six pumps were tested with a range of speeds and flowrates at Hayward Tyler, based in Luton.

The pumps are used to move effluents through the system and interface with maintenance flasks and similar equipment within SCP. The pumps are remotely maintainable so, should failure occur, the inner module may be taken to SIXEP for repair.

PWO3 Completion of pump & valve modules (valves welded in) remains on track to complete on time in the coming months.
