Is Trouble-Free Pumping Really Possible?

By Max Lilie, Associate Regional Product Manager, Xylem

Wet wells and lift stations are critical parts of wastewater infrastructure, but they are also a major consumer of manpower, operational costs, and more. Clogged pumps can lead to downtime, expensive call-outs, and more. With limited resources, wastewater utilities are always trying to do more with less. An aging workforce, limited spending capabilities, and new requirements for energy efficiency and cybersecurity further complicate overall operations.

Utilities need solutions that can adapt and keep up with a changing world. That’s why Flygt, a Xylem brand, introduced Concertor, a smart pump designed to tackle all these challenges and more. With a built-in variable frequency drive (VFD) and electronics, Concertor is able to reduce manpower woes, inventory, energy consumption, and more. At the same time, the pump is both easy to use and heavily customizable to a utility’s unique application needs, ensuring trouble-free pumping for the life of the pump.
