Water Treatment plant that use Lignum Vitae bearings.

The Challenge

Maintaining Continuous Operation in Demanding Environments

Water and wastewater treatment plants operate 24/7, demanding unwavering reliability from every component. Bearings in pumps, mixers, clarifiers, and other critical equipment face constant exposure to:

Bearings made from lignum vitae

Harsh Chemicals

Corrosive substances that can degrade traditional bearing materials.

Abrasive Grit

Particles that cause excessive wear and premature bearing failure.

Flocculant

Can cause failure.

Constant Moisture

A challenging environment for many bearing types.

Unplanned Downtime

Disrupting operations, increasing costs, and potentially impacting public health.

Strict Regulations

Requiring the use of non-toxic, oil-free components (NSF/ANSI 61). Ranked #1 of all bearings tested.

Lignum Vitae water-lubricated bearings offer a proven, PFAS free, sustainable, and compliant superior solution, ensuring reliable performance and protecting our vital water resources.

The Lignum Vitae Advantage
