Submersible pumps assist in the essential but dirty work of transporting sewage to treatment plants. Prone to blockages, ragging, and general wear and tear, the pumps need to be monitored to avoid events such as overflow and environmental contamination of public and residential areas.
ifm provides sensing protection for submersible pumps used in the toughest conditions.
How do you monitor a pump submersed in a wet well and pumping sewage? The conditions can be described as, at the least, hostile. Not only is it impractical and costly to monitor pumps manually, this also raises occupation, health and safety concerns. However, pumps are expensive assets and difficult to replace. This makes an online monitoring solution appropriate.
With ifm’s remote monitoring solution customers can visualise the condition of submersible pumps and diagnose issues before they become serious problems. It combines ifm’s VSE proven diagnostic technology, which uses task-specific submersible accelerometers. Data from this system is coupled directly to ifm’s analytics software to identify pumping issues – in turn providing current data and warnings via email or text.
