The screening process removes objects such as rags, paper, plastics and any other solids that are found in wastewater. One of the significant costs incurred by wastewater treatment plants is the disposal of these solids. Selecting the correct combination and configuration of laundering, washing and compression equipment can reduce the amount of solids for disposal and reduce the overall operating costs considerably.
The Haigh Engineering Company’s Macipumps have been designed to disintegrate sewage waste within a liquid medium. Process solids, together with wash water, enter a stationary cutter ring within which a tipped impeller with radial slots rotates. The combined action of the cutter ring and impeller shred the solids putting them in suspension for further processing.
Features
The Macipump mechanism shears the solids as they flow through the holes in the shearplate to a controlled particle size. Features include:
