Wastewater and Clean Water Management

Engineer Reliability with NSF 61-Certified Seals

Use our new estimator tool to calculate your water and CO2 emissions savings

Managing wastewater and clean water presents unique challenges—high volumes, shifting ratios and abrasive materials all demand durable, efficient solutions. John Crane helps you maximise performance and minimise downtime with advanced sealing technology that can result in reduced energy use, lower costs and enhanced rotating equipment longevity. We also provide certified products for use in drinking water applications, ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards. From filtration to chlorination, our solutions help keep your operations running smoothly.

Fresh/Tap Water Supply

Water is a vital resource, and protecting its quality starts with reliable components. Our high-performance mechanical sealing solutions can help you maintain the highest standards for safety, efficiency and durability.

Reliable sealing solutions to maintain water purity and system efficiency.

Wastewater Treatment

Climate change and increasing levels of hazardous materials are creating new challenges for the wastewater treatment industry. Our reliable sealing solutions can help you maintain equipment efficiency and resilience in the face of these demands.

Combat wear, corrosion and contamination with our durable, high-performance mechanical seals.

Desalination

The demand for fresh water continues to rise, making desalination more essential than ever. Our advanced sealing technology supports efficient, reliable water production to meet growing global needs.

Advanced sealing technology to optimise water production and reduce operational costs.

Ensure safe, high-quality drinking water with solutions designed for reliability and efficiency.

Efficient, Cost-effective Products

As demand for fresh water grows and natural resources become increasingly limited, managing costs can be difficult — even more so for plants in remote or elevated locations. Strict environmental standards for disposing waste or managing runoff can also present additional obstacles. John Crane offers a wide range of innovative solutions that increase process efficiency while lowering costs, such as our mechanical seal support systems that are engineered to reduce contamination and our mechanical seals that require little to no external flush water. As a global leader in the design, manufacture and supply of components with proven reliability in seawater pumps, flushing pumps, transfer pumps, booster pumps and intake pumps.

Cost-saving Technology

By reducing water usage, John Crane’s SmartFlow intelligent seal water support system lowers the amount of water used to lubricate mechanical seal faces, resulting in reduced water and filtration costs. Our modular seals—like the Type 5600 series and heavy-duty Type SB series—can be standardised across entire facilities for efficiency. The Type 37FS split seal enables quick replacement without dismantling large equipment like pulpers, agitators and fan pumps.
