Introduction In the realm of municipal wastewater treatment, the handling of thickened sludge, scum, and septage presents a persistent challenge: the increasing prevalence of non-dispersible solids. While engineers frequently turn to positive displacement technologies for these viscous fluids, Double Disc Pump Clogging and Ragging: How to Reduce Blockages remains a critical operational concern. Despite being […]

INTRODUCTION One of the most persistent operational headaches in modern wastewater treatment is the management of non-dispersibles—specifically wipes, rags, and plastics. For municipal design engineers and plant superintendents, the failure to effectively manage these solids at the headworks or pump station results in “ragging,” a phenomenon that costs utilities millions annually in deragging labor, reduced […]
