Month: December 2018

During 2018 Northumbrian Water installed two new DERAGGER+ units.  In Sunny Brow (Crow) they delivered an estimated cost saving of £12,000 per year. This station used to frequently rag and had been run with proactive weekly lift & clean visits in order to keep on top of the ragging.  Once the DERAGGER was activated, these could be scaled back as they were no longer required.

The Fens (Hartlepool) was referred to by staff as a “non blocker”, however with the DERAGGER installed here it delivered efficiency savings of 20.24% on one pump, and 8.75% on the other pump.  At this site we also tracked a significantly more stable current with the DERAGGER, meaning a strong likelihood that the DERAGGER will also extend pump life.

From all of us here at Clearwater Controls we hope you have a great Christmas.  As we reflect on 2018, it’s certainly been a busy year for us:

• We’ve had lots of great new installations and happy customers – read more in our case studies;
• We’ve seen the DERAGGER deliver huge savings in independent WRc trials, and gain WRc accreditation;
• Plus we’ve even been featured on US television (watch the clip here if you’ve not seen it before)!

As we look forward to 2019, we wish you and your families a happy and prosperous New Year.

On the back of our independent DERAGGER trail with United Utilities and Wessex Water, overseen by Water Research Centre (WRc), WWT Editor James Brocket spoke to Clearwater MD Simon Crompton and below is the full article.
