자일럼(Xylem)은 스웨덴에 위치한 자사의 최첨단 제조시설에서 400만 번째 Flygt 폐수펌프를 생산했다고 최근 발표했다. 이로써 자일럼은 같은 시설에서 폐수펌프 400만 개를 생산한 최초의 국제 펌프제조업체가 됐다.

400만 번째의 Flygt 펌프는 오만 무스카트의 Azaibah 중앙펌핑스테이션에서 효율적인 운영을 지원할 예정으로, 중동부 주에 위치한 Al Ansab 처리플랜트까지 8㎞에 걸쳐 폐수를 운송하게 된다.

 

 

 

Xylem Inc., a company dedicated to solving challenging water issues, recently announced that it has produced the 4 millionth Flygt wastewater pump at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Sweden.

 

Xylem is the first international pump manufacturer to have produced this quantity of wastewater pumps at the same facility. The 4 millionth Flygt pump will support the efficient operation of the central pumping station at Azaibah, Muscat, Oman, which pumps wastewater across eight kilometres to the Al Ansab treatment plant in the Middle Eastern state.

 

Xylem's Flygt brand has a 100-year legacy of innovation in pumping, from developing the first submerged pumps to designing the non-clogging N-impeller, to producing wear-resistant hydraulics. The very first Flygt pump was manufactured at the company's factory in Emmaboda, Sweden.
 
Xylem's Flygt pumps are also produced at manufacturing sites around the world in China, India, the U.S., and Argentina. The company applies its expertise and technologies to solve complex global water challenges, including removing flood waters from New York and New Jersey following Hurricane Sandy, providing energy-efficient wastewater pumping at Heathrow airport and preventing flooding of downtown Kuala Lumpur.

 

The 4 millionth 500-kilowatt (kW) pump stands at 2.85 meters in height, 5,300 kilograms weight, with a pumping capacity of 500 liters per second at 66.9 meter head. It features Flygt's state-of-the-art monitoring system for operational safety and accessible data review. When the existing Flygt pumps in the central pumping station require routine maintenance, the 4 millionth pump will ensure that this critical pumping station can continue to operate efficiently.
