The Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District’s (FSSD) wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) required major renovations and expansion to keep pace with the region’s economic and population growth and technological advancements in the wastewater industry.
For grit washing, the SANDWASHTM is one of the most effective options. SPIRAC has brought significant improvements to the SANDWASHTM unit, but this is still the grit washer that can satisfy high demands of those applications where any visible organics on the grit is unacceptable.
Coupled with high capacity, efficient operation, and low power consumption - not to mention little need for maintenance - SANDWASHTM is a powerful grit washing solution.
SPIRAC is dedicated to design and manufacture a wide range of innovative screens at optimal cost with a special focus on complementing the existing product range.
SPIRAC enters the screens manufacturing market with the set up of a new office and workshop in Sheffield, UK. Combining wastewater engineering experience and a long manufacturing history provides a uniquely effective solution to today’s inlet works needs.
Turning waste into something clean and renewable is an amazing process. Every drop of water that we rinse down the drain or flush enters the sewer system. Most of the waste water system is gravity-fed, which means all the waste flows down toward its ultimate destination, the waste water treatment facility. As gravity helps waste flow through the system and closer to the treatment facility, it typically encounters a lift station.
During September and October 2016, SPIROGUARD® was tested at the National Screen Evaluation Facility (NSEF), Durham, UK. The screen was put to the test with screen curtain aperture sizes of 3mm to 6mm. The test procedure used for evaluating a Screening Capture Ratio value was initially developed by Northumbrian Water as part of their Screen Evaluation Programme, and subsequently adopted by all the UK Water Companies for use at the NSEF.
The Glenelg Wastewater Treatment Plant in South Australia was originally built in 1932 with a number of subsequent capacity upgrades to accommodate increasing demand. This treatment plant is part of the key infrastructure required to provide a reliable and secure wastewater service to the southwest region of metropolitan Adelaide. The plant receives sewage from a drainage area of over 9,200 hectares and is designed for annual average flows of 60 megalitres per day and serves an equivalent population in excess of 200,000 people.
