New Case Study Bulletin Highlights PISTA® VIO™ Installation At Award-Winning Water Reclamation Facility On The Florida Coast

Smith & Loveless Inc., the global leader in advanced grit removal system technologies, announces a new case study of the PISTA® VIO™, bulletin number 9103-14.

The new case study examines one Florida coastal utility’s struggle with aging grit removal facilities and resulting time-consuming maintenance. In determining a solution to its grit problem, the study highlights the utility’s project criteria – including performance, capital costs and footprint considerations – all of which led to the installation of the PISTA® VIO™ grit removal system by Smith & Loveless. The system is designed to consistently meet 95 percent grit removal efficiency down to 100-micron particles during the variable flow conditions experienced at the utility’s plant.

The case study also discusses two unique benefits of the PISTA® VIO™ application at this particular plant, including how it helped save capital costs in the design phase while providing long-term protection against the salty, oceanic impact on concrete structures and tanks. The bulletin concludes with actual grit removal efficiency data undertaken in 2023, more than a year after installation.
