Wastewater Force Main Cleaning

When we think of "dirty" piping product, there may be nothing more dirty than wastewater, carrying fats, oils, grease, kitchen waste and, of course, the bathroom flush.

Suppose you've just brought a pristine wastewater system online. With the first flush, load of laundry, someone's dishes... debris and residue settles or adheres out of the water and onto your formerly clean pipes, beginning the process of clogging them up, reducing flow and costing you more money in power and maintenance.

If any of these conditions exist in your piping system, it may be time to have them cleaned and restored to max flow capacity:

• Wet well evacuation takes longer and longer
• Pressure increases at the discharge head
• Your pumps have to run longer
• You plan to upgrade your pumps and make other station improvements
• Costs are increasing, especially energy use.
• Circumstances of the installation did not allow a cleaning before going onilne
• The system has been use under capacity, causing it to act as long, thin, settling basin
• Flow volume at discharge point is much lower than it used to be
• Maintenance staff has grown weary of alarm lights
• Laminar flow characteristics and Hazen-Williams "C" Factors have fallen to unreadable levels
• Odor problems continue in spite of your efforts

Remember that replacing the pipe means scuttling serviceable piping whose only offence is being dirty. Save time, money and disruption by having your system cleaned using an inline Poly Pig. There's a good chance this can be done with zero downtime, or very little.
