Project:
A large wastewater treatment plant in southern Florida chose ENECON to restore six worn impellers rather than replace them.
Application Details:
- Each impeller originally cost over $6,000 to replace, with a 22-week lead time.
- The impellers were abrasive-blasted to prepare surfaces.
- Leading edges were rebuilt using our DurAlloy product; then two coats of CeramAlloy CL+AC were applied for high-performance protection.
- After training by ENECON, the plant’s own mechanics completed the remaining impellers in‐house using the ENECON methods.
What This Means for You as a Distributor:
- A problem found almost everywhere: Wastewater impellers, pumps, and housings wear down in every city and every facility. This case demonstrates how ENECON solutions address a very common, high-value maintenance challenge.
- A clear alternative to costly replacement: When a replacement part costs thousands of dollars and takes months to arrive, ENECON offers a practical and reliable repair option that restores performance quickly.
- Credibility through real results: This project provides a concrete example you can share when discussing similar issues with facility managers. Seeing a successful restoration in a real plant helps people understand what ENECON materials can do.
- Repeatable solutions: Once a facility sees the value in restoring an impeller, they often identify additional components—pumps, housings, volutes, pipes—where the same materials deliver similar benefits.
- A global, universal application: Wastewater plants, industrial pumps, and rotating equipment exist everywhere. Opportunities like this translate directly to virtually any region or market.
Restoration projects like this are a strong reminder of how much essential equipment can be repaired rather than replaced—an opportunity that exists in every territory.
