All of the solutions to your back-end problems are solved by what you do in the front end. This principle is at the heart of EcoChemPro’s innovative approach to wastewater treatment. Managing lift stations effectively is critical to ensuring the smooth operation of wastewater systems, and regular cleaning is a crucial part of this process.
Lift stations, or pumping stations, play a vital role in transferring wastewater and sewage from lower to higher elevations, directing flow towards sewer mains or treatment facilities. Each station typically comprises a tank, pumps, valves, and control devices that collectively move wastewater through the system. However, these components are highly susceptible to grease and oil build-up, leading to blockages, foul odors, and equipment failures.
Traditional maintenance practices often involve using road tankers to empty holding tanks filled with thick, oily sludge. This method is labor-intensive and costly, requiring frequent trips and extensive manpower. For many wastewater treatment facilities, these practices result in high operational costs, inefficient processes, and potential health hazards.
EcoChemPro XL and EcoChemPro DR are eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaner degreasers specifically designed for industrial cleaning applications. Their powerful formulas safely remove grease, oil, and other contaminants from all surfaces, making them ideal for cleaning lift stations and other wastewater treatment equipment.
One of our clients, based in New Iberia, Louisiana, operates five lift stations on their premises. Previously, they faced the challenge of removing thick, oily sludge that required using suction pipes and road tankers to extract an average of 1,375 gallons every twelve weeks. These frequent collections resulted in high operational costs and inefficient lift station performance.
Field-collected samples from the primary clarifier (settled sewage) were used as the bacterial medium. Both solutions (XL and DR) showed promising antibacterial properties with >99.9% reduction in the concentration of both E. Coli and Total Coliform when 10 mg/L of these solutions were added. These results are very promising.
Choosing EcoChemPro for your wastewater treatment needs is a step towards operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
