A New Year horror story from the US highlights why wastewater treatment centres and other facilities must prioritise regular boiler checks. At the start of the month, a worker at a wastewater treatment plant in Norwich, Connecticut was hospitalised in a boiler incident. While the cause is still being investigated, it’s a stark reminder of the risks posed by faulty or poorly maintained equipment. Boilers are the powerhouse behind many wastewater treatment processes, including thermal hydrolysis. But when something goes wrong, the consequences can be severe. That’s why regular inspections and servicing are so important. Faulty or poorly maintained equipment not only poses safety risks but can also disrupt essential treatment processes. They impact both efficiency and compliance. Our team specialises in servicing and maintaining boiler and thermal hydrolysis equipment for wastewater treatment centres across the UK. With safety as our top priority, we’re here to ensure your systems run smoothly, efficiently, and, most importantly, safely. So put safety first this year! If your boilers are due a check-up, give us a call. #WastewaterIndustry #WastewaterEngineers #EngineeringExcellence #SafetyFirst #BoilerMaintenance #PBJEngineering

What do we know about wastewater access? Below are some fun facts about it. >Very few utilities even allow their own personnel into manholes, and when people go into them it is usually contractors to repair them. >Most maintenance for collection systems is done from the surface, and it has been done that way for over 20 years. >If you have an access chamber that is durable, airtight, and exempt from corrosion and I & I, you don't need manned access. THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT> THE PooPit IS THE ONLY SOLUTION THAT YOU WILL EVER NEED! YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO REPAIR IT OR REPLACE IT! Daryl RocheleauQuickstream Solutions Inc.Mitch TylerCurt Hinson

The Critical Role of Pumps in Municipal Water Treatment Municipal water treatment facilities rely heavily on various types of pumps to ensure clean, safe water reaches our homes and businesses. Three key pump types play crucial roles in this process: 1. Centrifugal Pumps: These workhorses of water treatment facilities are used for high-volume water transfer, circulation, and distribution. Their efficiency and reliability make them ideal for moving large quantities of water through different treatment stages. 2. Submersible Pumps: Essential for wells and lift stations, submersible pumps are designed to operate underwater, making them perfect for raw water intake and wastewater management. Their sealed construction protects against contamination and ensures consistent performance. 3. Positive Displacement Pumps: These pumps excel in precise chemical dosing applications, critical for water treatment processes such as disinfection and pH adjustment. Their ability to deliver accurate, consistent flow rates makes them indispensable in maintaining water quality. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of these pumps are vital for the continuous operation of water treatment facilities. This is where USA Pumps 24 LLC comes in. With our extensive experience and expertise, we offer comprehensive services for all your municipal pump needs: - Regular maintenance and inspections - Emergency repairs and troubleshooting - Pump replacements and upgrades - Custom solutions for unique applications Don't let pump issues disrupt your water treatment operations.

At the inlet of the sewage treatment plant the #wastewater is first collected in a tank and then transported for mechanical preliminary purification via two screw pumping stations. The wastewater flows through a screen and grit chamber in an open, partially filled channel (gravity pipeline) before going on to preliminary clarification. This channel is designed for a maximum flow height of 400 mm. #waterindustry #watermanagement #waterandwastewater #flowmeter #wastewatertreatment #wastewatertreatmentplant #watermonitoring #processinstrumentation
