Wet Well Pumping Chamber
Our American Agent has just completed an installation at a waste water site in Michigan State.
A wet well pumping chamber, with no mixing being carried out, was experiencing a build up of rags and other solids consolidating into a floating mat.
As the pumps drew from the bottom of the chamber, taking fluid away, the floating mass of solids was becoming thicker and thicker over time.
This situation would obviously impact on available volume, the efficiency of the pumps and the next stage of the process. Obviously some type of mixing was required.
With the presence of rags and the inaccessibility of the chamber making installation of mechanical mixing equipment unfeasible a STEM Drive air mixing system was chosen. Once installed, the STEM Drive mixing nozzle does not need to be removed for maintenance or to be serviced, making it the ideal solution, where access is limited or undesired i.e. Nuclear Decommissioning.
STEM Drive mixing nozzles were installed from outside of the chamber on guides which located the nozzles in the optimum position for the task.
The power source, a compressor, was located on an upper floor of the facility building, allowing routine servicing to be carried out with ease.
