T
he DERAGGER+ anti-
ragging device provides
a smart solution to the
age-old problem of waste
water pump blockages.
The DERAGGER+ has a
unique technology that
monitors in real-time the
power wave form of the
pump. This wave form
analysis allows the device to
immediately detect the
instant a single wet-wipe
starts to impede an impeller,
whereby the DERAGGER+
slows the pump to a stop,
briefly reverses it to dislodge
the impediment and it passes
through the system in
suspended flow.
The DERAGGER+ is proven
to eliminate blockages, and
deliver energy savings across
almost all pumps. Although
not all pumps may block
severely enough to cause the
pump to trip, the majority
will suffer from some form of
impediment due to ragging.
A recent case study at
Anglian Water has demon-
strated the technology, and a
new independent study was
recently released by WRc,
anaylsing raw data from
United Utilities and Wessex
Water. Full versions of both
studies are available from:
www.clearwatercontrols.co.uk.
Across an entire waste
water network: With the
growing need for Utility
companies to create smart
networks, and their focus on
performance and resilience,
the DERAGGER technology is
now being used to deliver full
network efficiency. Devel-
oped in collaboration with
Jacobs, AquaDNA offers
real-time cloud based
intelligent efficiency across a
full waste water network.
Data is collected in real-time
from waste water pumps
fitted with a DERAGGER+,
allowing the operating
efficiency and health of the
pumps (and station) to be
ascertained on a "live" basis.
The data is displayed in a
simple graphic dashboard
form advising operators on
the risk of spillage at any
station, the likelihood of
pump failure and advising of
when proactive maintenance
tasks should be carried out.
The real-time data is also
used to predict and prevent
any ragging type blockages
from occurring. Currently
undergoing live network
trials, the UK launch is
expected in Autumn 2018.
