Accelerating flow in a gravity line
Published on by Valerie Joguet in Technology
16 years after the DIP Systeme® was introduced at the leading edge of innovation, SIDE Industrie launches its newest innovation: the DIP BOOSTER, to accelerate flow in a gravity line.
The DIP BOOSTER by Side Industrie is derived from a high range of DIP wastewater pumps and just like the DIP Systeme®, made of high quality stainless steel. They are composed of a shared hydraulic body that fits the pipe size, allowing the gravity flow to go through it. It includes a by-pass valve, a level sensor upstream and 2 variable speed hydraulic drives connected in parallel using VFD’s.
Applications
Among all its applications, this innovation is particularly suitable in the cases of pipes with insufficient slope or pipes undergoing periodic backups or undersized pipes. The DIP BOOSTER will increase the flow for a gravity-fed line of ND 6” to ND 40” and thus provides savings on replacing large segments of pipe. The DIP Booster is also suitable where increased scouring is needed.
Other areas of applications are in cases where manifolds and pipes have insufficient slope, or when pipes are undergoing periodic backups, or inadequately sized for current flow loads, or even where increased scouring is needed.
