WWTP Passaic Valley, USA
Two new Landy jacks in production. The Passaic Valley treatment plant is one of the largest and most modern wastewater treatment plants in the eastern United States.
The existing augers, supplied by third parties at the time, date from the late 1980s and are now due for replacement. Because of the enormous size of the screw pumps, namely a diameter of 3.8 m and a length of 18 m, all dimensions were carefully recorded on site by our engineers so that the best possible screw pump design could be made, also using the Finite Element Method (EEM).
After production, both augers will be transported from Sneek to the US together with all associated equipment such as special stainless steel auger troughs, lower and upper bearings. The lower bearings here are environmentally friendly and low-maintenance ECO bearings, which are fitted with a water-in-oil detection system. This system informs about the water tightness of the bearing.
Landustrie obtained the contract through its US partner, EPIC International, Inc.
