Water Mains : all sizes up to 3 Meters are easily cleaned with the minimum of fuss and to maximum efficiency using Girard Poly Pigs. WHAT OUR CUSTOMER SAY "The results were astounding. The horse power requirements were lowered by almost 50%, resulting in a dollar saving to the customer of $15,000 per year." "Prior to the Girard Polly-Pigging operation, a 150 horsepower pump was able to discharge only about 1.5 mgd against a pressure of 196 psi. Following the operation we were able to get 2.2 mgd for an increase of .7 mgd. These results were far beyond our expectations. Under the conditions that all of this water is being sold at the rate of 50 cents per thousand gallons, this would mean an added income to the City of Lafayette, Colorado, of about $350 per day." "In my opinion, the job was a complete success; after visual inspection at the point of exit, absolutely no build - up was left in the line. When production was resumed on Monday, the line was capable of handling the volume of water it was designed for again." "The entire "Pigging" job was completed in just 24 hours and required minimum plant shut - down. The results were excellent, and flow was restored to a level almost equal to new pipe capacity. Pigging at regular intervals was recommended to prevent excessive build ups of debris in the future." "The energy savings alone proved sufficient to repay the cost of the cleaning in little more than one year. At a rate of $0.032386/kWh, a saving of $6.90 per million gallons was realised. This is an annual saving of $91,000. The cleaning cost - including the contract price, engineering and inspection, and work by city employees - was $94,429.00." |
