SPIRALIFT® SL Solves Headworks Problem

The facility, which handles .55 mgd of wastewater from domestic sources as well as from a Veterans home, was getting deluged with rags and other debris spilling over into various areas of the wastewater treatment process causing frequent maintenance headaches. The debris was constantly clogging up the pumps and had to be removed manually. Of particular concern was the solid waste from the Veterans home, which contained enormous quantities of cooking grease. Once the grease entered the waste stream, it congealed into large blocks that coated and clogged the lines, increasing down time and maintenance headaches.
