Based on the motto “The more logical decision: the direct route to sustainable building”, the drainage specialist KESSEL presents its new Ecolift L hybrid lifting station as an efficient and environmentally friendly drainage solution. With the extension of the Ecolift product family, a proportion of which is made of recycled material, the company offers a flexible alternative to classic lifting stations with a pumping capacity of 1.35 kW and 6 l/s. This means that the hybrid lifting station is designed for new buildings and energy-related renovations, especially for apartment buildings, rented houses, semi-detached houses and for smaller and medium-sized commercial premises. “We are the only provider of hybrid lifting stations of this magnitude. Since a total of around 30 to 40 percent of conventional systems can be replaced by energy-saving hybrid solutions and the focus is on efficient and sustainable products in new buildings, we are creating suitable solutions that are in touch with the latest trends with our Ecolift portfolio,” explains KESSEL product manager Joachim Q. Ziob.
Simple, efficient and safe
The innovative Ecolift principle is designed for use on ample gradients from the drainage points to the sewer and provides numerous advantages thanks to this direct route: The hybrid lifting station uses gravity in normal operation and pumps only in the event of backwater. Compared to classic lifting stations, the Ecolift L therefore saves around 70 percent of electricity with lower wear, lower noise emissions, reduced maintenance costs (halving of maintenance intervals in the commercial sector) and higher operational safety. In the event of power failure, the wastewater can continue to flow through the gradient and the integrated backwater protection prevents water rising from the sewer into the building at the same time.
Flexible all-rounder
Whether as an expandable Mono system or a complete Duo system with two pumps, whether with a space-saving bypass system or connection of a pressure pipe via the backwater level: Due to its low installation dimensions, the Ecolift L hybrid lifting station can be flexibly adapted to the respective installation situation and the individual application. Assembled plug-in ready
The compact system can be installed easily and quickly. The optional wall bracket allows for an additional gradient to the sewer, making the Ecolift L even more accessible for tool-free maintenance.
“The hybrid principle is so innovative that there is no standard for it yet. We have ensured its use under building legislation through the approval from the German Institute for Structural Engineering (DIBt approval Z-53.2-493)”, explains Ziob.
