Case Study
Stickney Water Reclamation Plant
Stickney Water Reclamation Plant CHALLENGE The sludge drying facility at Stickney utilizes four 125 horsepower, 1800 rpm motors with KSB hot oil pumps in a drying system for the bio-solids waste from the treatment plant. Reliable shaft alignment (between motor and pump) has been difficult to maintain with standard elastomeric couplings due to thermal growth caused by the extreme temperature of the oil running through the pumps. The resulting
