Project

The client needed a reliable and cost-effective solution to pump effluent from a two-pond system to an existing Williams Spider Deluxe travelling irrigator. The farm had previously relied on contractors for pond emptying, which was inefficient, and past trials with petrol and electric pumps had not met their needs. Additionally, the closest three-phase power source was 150 meters away, making an electric pump impractical.

What we did

To address these challenges, we supplied a Williams Pooma 65 PTO pump mounted on a trailer frame. This pump allows for easy movement between the two ponds and includes a second outlet to enable localised effluent recirculation for improved stirring while pumping. The pump was carefully sized to accommodate the undulating terrain and allow for potential future mainline extensions, ensuring long-term functionality and efficiency.

By the numbers

Here how the impact of Willliams Effluent Solutions system design brought results for Atiamuri farm.

Our effluent system was a constant source of frustration due to frequent blockages. After consulting with the Williams team, we decided to install an effluent stone trap. The difference has been remarkable! Since the installation, we haven't experienced a single blockage, and our operations run much smoother. The Williams team was professional and efficient throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to anyone struggling with similar issues!

As an off-farm owner, I ultimately chose Williams Effluent Solutions due to their proven experience and the fact that they have the resources to manage the entire project from start to finish. Their ability to take full control of the process gave me peace of mind, knowing that the project would be completed to a high standard. Williams delivered on their promises and made the whole experience stress-free. I would recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable and professional team.
