Innovative Design of Archimedean Pump
The innovative design of our Archimedean pump and frame require less civil works in comparison to similar alternatives. The frame ensures that a very simple headwall design can be used, and through removing the concrete trough traditionally used, saves vast volumes of concrete; a material which is incredibly CO2 intensive.
The closed drum enables the pump to pump against a head of water, therefore requiring a less tall structure. For example, at Bells Pumping Station we saved 1.24m in overall asset height; which is a lot of concrete!
The closed drum stops energy loss by avoiding leakage whilst pumping, this also enables the screw pump to operate at various speeds and vastly reduces energy consumption.
The material choice further aids carbon reduction. As the carbon footprint of the composite materials used to manufacture the screw and cylinder is less than steel.
