Regular Cleaning Improves Reliability in Lift Stations

The fundamental process of Lift Stations

A lift station, also known as a pumping station, functions by transferring wastewater and sewage from a lower position to a higher one, often towards a sewer main or treatment facility. Typically, these stations are comprised of a tank along with pumps, valves, and other control devices in order to effectively transport the wastewater and sewage between different levels.

Why do Lift Stations require cleaning?

Lift stations necessitate thorough cleansing on a regular basis to thwart any obstructions, accumulation, and unpleasant smells. Consistent cleaning and maintenance practices are crucial for enhancing the lifespan of the equipment and optimizing its efficacy. Moreover, proper cleaning aids in averting any costly and time-consuming repairs due to blockages and backups.

It is ideal for cleaning lift stations, as it can quickly and safely remove grease, oil, and other contaminants from surfaces. EcoChemPro is safe for use on all surfaces, and it is biodegradable and non-toxic.

Cleaning Lift Stations to remove Grease & Oils

One of our clients in New Iberia, Louisiana, is using EcoChemPro XL to clean five lift stations located on their premises. Before using EcoChemPro, our client had to empty the holding tanks every twelve weeks using a road tanker. The tanks contained a thick, oily sludge that was removed using suction pipes, with an average of 1375 gallons being extracted each time. However, after implementing regular cleaning with EcoChemPro, our client was able to reduce the frequency of tanker collections. Within one month, they were able to extend the collection schedule to every six months instead of every three months. Additionally, the amount of sludgy residue present during each visit was reduced to approximately 100 gallons. As a result, our client saved an average of $31,000 annually in collection costs. Moreover, the lift stations were cleaner and operated more efficiently, leading to further savings on maintenance and repair expenses.
