Rectangular sludge and sand removal system
In today’s world of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, efficiency and cost-effectiveness are increasingly important factors. The rectangular sludge and grit removal system, also known as the plastic scraper system, is an innovative solution that stands out for its simplicity, durability and low operating costs. Replacing traditional round systems, this rectangular system provides a more efficient use of space and easier integration in both new and existing infrastructures.
What is there in simplicity?
The rectangular design of the system is extremely simple and therefore requires very little maintenance. The plastic chains and Sigma scrapers, which are the key elements of the system, are lightweight and resistant to corrosion and chemical attack. This allows the system to operate reliably even under difficult conditions. These features make the system easy to install and less likely to fail, ensuring exceptional longevity and reliability.
Applications of the rectangular sludge and sand removal system
The system has a wide range of applications in various wastewater treatment infrastructures. This includes:
- Municipal wastewater treatment plants – for efficient removal of sand, sludge and grease from wastewater.
- Industrial cleaning plants – especially useful for sectors with high load and the need for a reliable, continuous cleaning process.
- Sand and sedimentation tanks – easy to install, ensure efficient sludge removal and smooth wastewater flow.
- Sludge thickening tanks – to reduce the volume of sludge to be treated and reduce waste costs.
- Upgrading existing infrastructure – easily adaptable to replace old, uneconomical systems, reducing maintenance costs.
Success stories in Lithuania
This reliable and efficient Solid Water Chain Sludge and Sand Removal System CSS has already been successfully used in the refurbished Klaipėda wastewater treatment plant’s sand pits and in the secondary settling tanks of the Simnas wastewater treatment plant. These examples show how easily the system can be integrated into existing infrastructures and applied in a wide range of facilities, from large urban treatment plants to smaller regional systems. This versatility enables municipal and industrial projects to achieve greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness, reducing maintenance costs and energy consumption.
Cost-effectiveness and sustainability
Thanks to its low power requirement (just 0.37 kW), the system is extremely economical in terms of electricity consumption, which is an important advantage for reducing long-term running costs. The system design does not require lubrication or complex maintenance work, making daily operation simpler and less costly.
Easy customisation for every need
While the system is ideal for new projects, its rectangular shape makes it easy to integrate into existing treatment infrastructures. It can replace older sand, sludge or grease removal systems, reducing maintenance and operating costs and providing more efficient treatment.
Genius is in the simplicity
The Rectangular Sludge Compaction and Removal System is a perfect example of how simplicity and genius go together in engineering. Reliability, cost-effectiveness, longevity and low maintenance costs make this system a competitive choice for both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment projects. It is a modern alternative to the circular scraper system from Finnish manufacturer Solid Water.
