Introduction One of the most frequent points of failure in municipal pumping infrastructure involves the misapplication of pump geometry to the wet well environment. While submersible non-clog pumps dominate small to medium sewage lift stations, engineers frequently turn to vertical turbine pumps (VTPs) for high-flow, high-head, or footprint-constrained applications. However, a staggering number of these […]
Introduction In the realm of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, sludge management typically accounts for 30% to 50% of a plant’s total operating costs. The efficacy of the dewatering process is the linchpin of this economic equation. While centrifuges and screw presses have gained market share in recent decades, the belt filter press (BFP) remains […]
