Project to apply ARC 855 to 19 double split case pumps used for a water transmission project to bring drinking water from the desalination plant in Shoaibah to Jeddah, Mina and Quaiza in Saudi Arabia.
Our Italian
ARC application partner, Tekva is currently completing a project to apply ARC
855 with the Italian pump OEM to
protect a total of 19 double volute and double suction split case pumps.
These pumps are destined for a water
transmission project in Saudi Arabia for SWCC (Saline Water Conversion
Corporation). This project will pump 120 mega litres per day of treated
drinking water from the desalination plant in Shoaibah to the cities of Jeddah,
Mina and Quaiza.
Chesterton was not specified for this
project but after technical visits and ROI presentation, the pump manufacturer accepted to get
ARC 855 specified and won the order.
The project also required that the coating should be approved for contact with warm drinking water up to 50°C. To meet this requirement, ARC 855 was tested and approved by WRAS UK for use in contact with potable water up to a temperature of 55°C, meeting the customer’s strict requirements for this application.

According to Franco Spazzolini, ARC product
manager for Chesterton Italy, three of the pumps have now been completed with
the remaining pumps being coated as they are manufactured by the pump manufacturer.
