Using Macerator Chopping Pumps At The Wastewater Station Tulsa

By Jerri Mcguire


There are a lot of things that can be put down a toilet. Everything from rags, toys, human waste soap, grease, and food waste are sent into the sewage system each day. When they travel along the pipes they can clog up the system that was normally designed to handle fluids and limited human waste. For a wastewater station Tulsa to work effectively, it must have to ability to remove these objects before they create blockages before the reach the wet well.

A wet well is a chamber that sits underground and collects fluid. These fluids are then pumped to another area. They can fill up with debris if it is not pulverized.

The solid waste must be destroyed before it reaches a wet well. To accomplish this destruction a macerator pump is used. This pump has many blades that will chop most things into little bits and pieces.

As the solid waste flows down the pipes, it will first come to one of these chopping pumps. The macerator pump will start when activated and spin the blades. The blades will chop the solids into tiny fragments that can flow through the pumps in the bottom of the wet wells to other places.

This device works well on solid objects that break up. However, on objects such as rags and sanitary napkins, it does not work as well as it does with solids. These other kind of items tend to become stringy and can clog up the pump much the same way a fishing line can wrap around a boat propeller.

Blockages that can back up a wastewater station Tulsa must be continually addressed through methods to stop them from occurring. Destroying solid waste before it really enters the sewer treatment process is effective. Macerator pumps help to keep everything flowing the way it should from a house or business all the way to the treatment facility.
