Modernize Mono-Incineration Plant and Save Over €50,000 in Operating Costs Per Year

Learn how our customer G.I.D.A., an Italian sewage sludge mono-incineration plant, achieved this through a targeted modernization of its pumping system:

  • Reduced energy consumption by over 70%

  • Cut maintenance costs in half

  • Significantly reduced system complexity

  • Improved operational reliability

The modernization of the pumping system of the mono-incineration plant resulted in:

  • More than 50,000 € in annual operating cost savings due to:
    • 70% lower energy consumption
    • 60% less maintenance time (from approx. 30 to 12 hours)
    • 62% lower costs for wear parts
  • Reduced system complexity due to the elimination of hydraulic components
  • Increased system availability, as there are fewer potential sources of leaks and malfunctions

Replacing the hydraulic piston pumps with the ABEL SDS piston-diaphragm pump featuring an electromechanical direct drive resulted in an overall 4.5-fold increase in the pump system’s efficiency and ensures the system’s long-term sustainability.

In the words of G.I.D.A.

The collaboration with ABEL was outstanding- reliable, on schedule, and always ready to support. The benefits of the SDS are already evident. Eliminating the hydraulics makes the pump significantly simpler and easier to maintain- our mechanics truly appreciate the thoughtful design.
