On November 30 and December 1, 2016 JCI Industries, Inc. hosted a training class on NOV/MOYNO Progressing Cavity Pump (PCP) systems. This course was open to JCI Environmental clients across Kansas and Western Missouri. The training was conducted by a Progressing Cavity Pump expert from NOV/Moyno.

Topics discussed included:
• A basic understanding of Progressing Cavity Pumps and Pumping Systems
• How to determine where PCPs can provide best value in applications
• The necessary steps to design, optimize, and operate a PCP system
• Pump sizing methodology to provide a successful PCP system

Identifying and understanding the components of a Progressing Cavity Pump was accomplished through disassembling and reassembling a pump with the training instructor.

Minimizing mixing energy in activated sludge selector basins.
How Low Can You Go?
Milwaukee MSD South Shore WWTP – Mixing Pilot Study

With the goal to minimize energy consumption in the BNR process, a mixing energy pilot study is under way at MMSD in Milwaukee, WI. Results show that power consumption of only 0.28 W/m3 is sufficient to fully homogenize activated sludge. This record-setting low energy mixing is achieved using a high-efficiency adjustable-thrust submersible mixer with optimum position in a BNR selector zone. The zone dimensions are 48 ft long x 30 ft wide x 15 ft deep. TSS profiles, phosphorous removal and power measurements were studied as mixing energy in the selector basin was gradually reduced over time.

The study concludes that the best of 3 mixing systems achieved both successful mixing and nutrient removal at 0.28 W/ m3. One key to success is a submersible mixer with adjustable-thrust, low-speed, large diameter propeller whose thrust can be fine-tuned to the basin shape. The other key is positioning the mixer to produce an efficient bulk flow loop that takes advantage of the basin shape .

This session will be presented by Jim Fischer , Senior Applications Engineer, Mixing at Xylem.
