Featured product: Grit traps
------------------------------------------------------

The first line of defense for many wastewater treatment plants is what's 
called the headworks. That's where large debris and inorganic materials 
are removed from the incoming water so they can be kept out of the 
treatment system.  An essential part of the headworks mix is the grit 
trap, and our firm has had a major influence over the way grit traps are 
operated. We were the first to apply self-priming pumps to the task of 
grit removal from grit traps, and that innovation has found its way into 
common use throughout the industry. Self-priming pumps are capable of 
extracting rocks and sand from grit traps and depositing them in 
separating and washing equipment for proper disposal. The use of 
self-priming pumps in this type of application results in lower 
maintenance and greater safety for the operator than many of the older 
approaches.
