Every wastewater treatment plant faces its own set of unique challenges. Variations in flow requirements, fluid composition and environmental conditions mean no single solution fits all. Tsurumi Pump’s AVANT MQ Series of submersible pumps was developed with that in mind. This series helps operators overcome wastewater challenges with a fully customizable design that delivers dependable performance. Pumps are the heart of every treatment operation, and having the right one can make all the difference.
Designed for modern demands
The MQ Series was designed with three key concepts in mind: innovation, reliability and efficiency. Each pump is equipped with an IE3 premium efficiency motor for energy savings, a critical factor for plants looking to reduce operational costs and environmental impact. Certified in accordance with FM-approved explosionproof specifications, the MQ Series ensures suitability for hazardous location use.
Durability is also another defining feature of the MQ Series. Pumps are constructed using high-quality cast iron housing, with stainless steel options available. With the choice of material build, operators have control over the level of protection against abrasion and chemicals, protecting long-term performance.
For hydraulics, an anti-clog design helps reduce a common pain point for operators: blockages. The anti-clog system uses the centrifugal force of the impeller to remove stringy material via a spiral groove cut into the diffuser plate. This ensures that fibrous and stringy materials are processed with ease.
The power of customization
While the MQ Series baseline features are notable, its level of customization sets it apart from other pumps on the market. The MQ Series offers motor sizes ranging from 1.1 kW to 355 kW, discharge bores from 2 to 16 inches, and a variety of impeller and material combinations, allowing configuration to match specific operational requirements.
The flexibility of the MQ Series also extends to installation. The pumps are available in wet and dry versions, with the dry-pit option featuring a closed-loop cooling jacket that protects the motor from overheating. Mounting configurations, voltage selections and monitoring options allow the pump to be tailored further, giving operators confidence that their pump is not only a fit for their plant, but also optimized for performance.
Multiple impeller options are available for the MQ Series including open channel, chopper, vortex and grinder. This provides plants with flexibility to choose an impeller best suited for their application.
Tsurumi’s MQ Series offers Molib-tech, an advanced molybdenum carbide coating that provides superior resistance to erosion, abrasion and cavitation. Molib-tech was designed to enhance component life and maintain hydraulic performance, extending the life cycle value of the pump.
Compared to other customizable pumps on the market, the MQ Series distinguishes itself by emphasizing a wide range of motor-hydraulics-material combinations to optimize each model for its intended use.
Looking ahead
As treatment plants prepare for the future, the role of customizable pumps like the MQ Series will continue to evolve. Customizable pumps will play a crucial role in addressing modern day challenges such as aging infrastructure, stricter regulatory compliance, emerging contaminants and the need for energy efficiency. By offering tailored solutions, operators can optimize performance while minimizing operational costs. With its combination of efficiency, durability and flexibility, the AVANT MQ Series is a platform built to evolve with modern wastewater treatment.
