Introduction The escalation of non-dispersible solids in modern wastewater—primarily synthetic wipes, rags, and fibrous materials—has fundamentally changed the operational baseline for municipal lift stations and treatment plants. Engineers are increasingly forced to move beyond simple solid-handling pumps to aggressive solids reduction strategies. A critical decision point in this defense strategy is the selection of Wilo […]

Introduction   The escalation of non-dispersible solids in municipal wastewater—specifically the “ragging” phenomenon caused by synthetic wipes—has transformed solids reduction from a luxury to a necessity. For consulting engineers and plant operators, the failure to adequately protect downstream pumps and dewatering equipment results in catastrophic downtime. Industry data suggests that unscheduled maintenance due to ragging […]
