A major storm can trigger a natural
flushing mechanism within mains
sewers with the excess foul water
carrying larger quantities of rag and
debris into the works. This can result
in the main invert system being
overridden, choking pumps and
flooding tanks, and perhaps
compromising local water courses.
P&M Pumps identified the potential for a combined mixing, aeration and cleaning system that conditions and deals with problem solids and rags without causing blockages. The Stormthrust system can meet the requirements through bespoke tank designs (any size and shape of tank). The system uses a Vaughan Chopper pump which conditions heavy solids and creates sufficient flows through multiple high velocity venturi nozzles on the floor of the tank. The result is solids suspension and, as liquid levels fall, the system directs flow towards the drain end of the tank.
