Share this postSay Goodbye to Wastewater Blockages: Introducing the Velocity Sentinam Intelligent Pumping System
Are you facing persistent and costly blockages in your wastewater system? For facilities managers in demanding environments like hospitals, prisons, universities and large public estates, this is an all too familiar challenge.
The constant battle against fats, oils and grease (FOG) and high solid content can lead to frequent system breakdowns, operational disruption and expensive interventions, such as hiring tankers to clear the mess.
But what if there was a more efficient, cost-effective and long-lasting solution?
A Smarter Solution for a Longstanding Problem
We’ve launched Velocity Sentinam, our new intelligent pumping system designed to eliminate blockages and reduce maintenance costs. This is more than just a robust pump setup; it’s a complete, end-to-end solution that thinks for itself, giving your estates team the insight and control they’ve never had before.
Tried and tested, Velocity Sentinam has been running successfully for over a year at a number of our customer sites, preventing blockages in some of the UK’s most demanding infrastructure environments.
How it Works
Velocity Sentinam combines three powerful elements into one bespoke solution for your pump station, designed to tackle the toughest wastewater challenges and make blockages a thing of the past.
One. Unrivalled Pumping Power
At its core, the system uses heavy-duty, industrial-grade submersible cutter pumps engineered to handle the most difficult waste.
- Advanced Cutting:
Equipped with advanced cutting, shredding and tearing capabilities, these pumps can handle FOG, wet wipes, sanitary items, cloths, towels, bed sheets, and even shoes. Replaceable cutter blades are also available. - De-Ragging Functionality:
The system is smart enough to detect load increases caused by debris. It automatically reverses the pump to clear the obstruction before it becomes a problem, then resumes normal operation.
Two. The Brains of the Operation: SenIQ Intelligent Controls
This is where the system’s intelligence shines. The bespoke control panel, fitted with an HMI/PLC controller and inverter drives, delivers operational excellence through adaptive technology.
- Surface Skimming:
The pumps automatically lower fluid levels multiple times a day to skim floating debris and FOG from the surface, preventing the buildup that causes major blockages. - Adjustable Start/Stop Points:
By varying the pump activation levels, the system prevents debris from accumulating at fixed points, ensuring a cleaner, more efficient sump. - Seamless Integration:
The control panel integrates fully with your existing Building Management System (BMS) and can be equipped with flashing/sound beacons for on-site alerts.
Three. Total Visibility and Control: SenSync Remote Monitoring
SenSync provides the critical remote monitoring element, giving you peace of mind and proactive control.
- Live Data & Instant Alerts:
Instantly be alerted to pump faults, power issues, or pit level concerns via mobile or email. Connected via GSM or Ethernet, it delivers fast and reliable reporting without requiring on-site attention. - Performance Insights:
SenSync tracks performance trends over time, helping you identify wear and address potential issues long before they escalate into failures.
