New Patent Announcement: Innovative Waste Water Pump solution that eliminates pump blockages, significantly reduces energy usage and prevents environmental incidents is introduced by Clearwater Controls Ltd, a division of the ID Systems Group of Companies.
Clearwater Controls announced today that the UK Patent and Trademark Office has granted to the group a UK Patent No. GB2487623B covering critical aspects of the unique anti-ragging system deployed in the Deragger II® product. The Deragger II® is a low voltage electric pump management system that presents cutting edge technology. Being modular its functionalities can be extended, making it a versatile product and prepared for several applications.
The Deragger II® is designed for simplistic integration into existing starter sections. Its small footprint at just 35mm x 96mm x 119 mm, makes it the ideal retro fit solution for small and medium sized pumping stations. The Deragger II® replaces the existing motor protection device with the main functionality of real time pump blockage prevention. It is suitable for Direct on Line, Star/Delta, Soft Starts or as an addition to VSD/VFD and has a protection range of 0 to 840A.
At the commissioning stage the Deragger II® is matched to the existing pumps which means that the device does not require any further operator input or adjustment.
The Deragger II® has proven to reduce energy consumption on pumps by around 15%. This is due to the pump running a clean impeller at all times. This coupled to the cost reduction and elimination of manual intervention to clear pump blockages, the return on investment is very quick with typical payback in weeks.
The Deragger II® can be programmed with additional applications including:
- Wet Well clean cycle
- Auto reset
- Remote reset
- Odour Control
- Batch Pumping
- Dry run protection
According to Graham McIvor, Technical Director at Clearwater, “the Deragger II® provides a simplistic, low cost, minimal interruption solution to a worldwide waste water industry problem that can be fitted and commissioned in less than a day”.
