Potable water treatment

Corrosion-free pumps for drinking water facilities

Engineered to safely dose aggressive disinfection chemicals and manage purification
processes, guaranteeing zero metallic contamination in the public water supply.

Public water purification

Safe fluid handling for municipal drinking water systems

Purifying public water supplies requires the highly accurate dosing of aggressive disinfection chemicals like sodium hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide. When managing these crucial purification stages, municipal facilities need specialized equipment that prevents any risk of heavy metal leaching into the drinking water network.

Tecnium Pumps engineers high-purity thermoplastic pumping solutions specifically designed for potable water applications. Manufactured from solid virgin plastics, our pumps provide total immunity to chemical degradation, ensuring continuous and safe water treatment while maintaining the absolute highest standards of public health and hygiene.

Recommended pumping solutions for drinking water treatment

Explore our selection of high-purity thermoplastic pumps, specifically engineered to manage aggressive disinfection chemicals and ensure the absolute safety of municipal water supplies.

The safest solution for dosing concentrated sodium hypochlorite and oxidative disinfectants. Its hermetic design eliminates the risk of hazardous chemical leaks, protecting both facility staff and the surrounding environment while ensuring zero product contamination.

Designed for heavy-duty chemical transfer within large-scale purification plants. These solid thermoplastic units are fully compliant with ISO 2858 norms and provide absolute resistance to aggressive reagents without releasing any metallic particles into the water stream.

Optimized for compact dosing skids and municipal water installations with limited footprint. This direct-coupled architecture requires no mechanical alignment, offering a cost-effective and highly reliable solution for the precise transfer of purification chemicals.

Built to drain chemical containment pits and process waste tanks within treatment facilities. The seal-less, cantilevered design ensures the pump can handle aggressive residuals and run dry without damage, providing essential reliability for facility safety systems.

Frequently asked questions about our pumps for potable water treatment

Ensuring the safety of the public water supply requires equipment that remains entirely inert when in contact with the fluid. Conventional metallic pumps, even those made of high-grade stainless steel, can undergo slow corrosion that releases microscopic traces of iron, chromium, or nickel into the treated water.

By utilizing solid blocks of virgin thermoplastics such as PP and PVDF, we eliminate the risk of rust and heavy metal contamination at the source. This ensures that the water intended for human consumption remains as pure as possible after the purification process.

This non-metallic construction is not just a safety feature but a guarantee of compliance with international health regulations, providing municipal authorities with a reliable solution that never compromises the chemical integrity of the drinking water network.

Sodium hypochlorite and other chlorine-based disinfectants are essential for water safety, but they are also extremely aggressive oxidants that rapidly degrade most metallic alloys. Over time, this leads to pitting corrosion, seal failures, and a significant drop in hydraulic efficiency.

Our solid plastic pumps are chemically immune to the oxidative attack of concentrated disinfectants. Because the material is homogenous throughout, there is no coating to flake off and no metal to oxidize, regardless of the chemical concentration.

This immunity results in exceptional equipment longevity and stable performance, allowing your facility to maintain precise dosing levels for years without the high maintenance costs associated with repairing or replacing corroded metallic components.

In municipal facilities, the safe handling of concentrated disinfection reagents is a top priority. Traditional pumps with mechanical seals are prone to occasional leaks, which can pose a health risk to plant operators and cause damage to the surrounding infrastructure.

Our BKM series utilizes advanced sealless magnetic drive technology to create a totally hermetic pumping environment. By eliminating the mechanical seal, we remove the primary point of failure where chemical leaks typically occur.

This provides absolute containment of hazardous purification chemicals, ensuring a cleaner workspace and preventing any accidental release of concentrated reagents into the environment, which is vital for maintaining the strict safety standards of modern water works.

Public water treatment is a continuous process that cannot afford unexpected interruptions. Municipal engineers require pumping systems that can withstand constant operation with minimal intervention, especially in automated dosing skids and purification stages.

Despite being made of plastic, our pumps are engineered for heavy-industrial durability. They are machined from thick, solid thermoplastic blocks and supported by robust bearing frames designed to handle continuous mechanical loads without stress.

This rugged architecture ensures maximum mechanical reliability and vibration-free operation, giving facility managers the peace of mind that their purification lines will remain functional around the clock to meet the water demands of the population.

Replacing underperforming or corroded metallic pumps is often a complex task if the new equipment requires extensive modifications to the plant’s existing foundations or the welding of new pipe flanges.

To simplify these upgrades, our standardized process ranges are manufactured in strict compliance with international dimensional standards, including ISO 2858 and EN 22858. This means the physical dimensions of our pumps match those of common industrial metallic pumps.

This allows for a seamless drop-in replacement that minimizes installation time and costs, enabling you to upgrade your facility to a more reliable, corrosion-proof thermoplastic solution without the need for expensive structural or piping changes.
