Is Wastewater Treatment Sustainable? Balancing Clean Water and Energy Use

Clean water doesn’t happen by accident, and it certainly doesn’t come without an energy cost. From pumping water out of deep sources to treating and delivering it, every stage uses power. That is the reason why so many communities ask, “Is wastewater treatment sustainable?” It all comes down to good decisions regarding efficient pumps, adequate screening, proper aeration, and real-time monitoring to detect energy surges before they happen. Lakeside Equipment Corporation explores the possibility of designing a system that will preserve resources, reduce operating costs, and provide a secure future for water.

How Does the Duperon FlexRake Help Improve Wastewater Screening Efficiency?

It is common in municipal wastewater facilities to encounter obstacles like plastic bags, tree branches, cans, grease, and grit which tend to hinder the movement of water. The Duperon FlexRake has been made using a flexible raking system as well as self-lubricated parts to assist in clearing these obstacles while minimizing maintenance requirements. It uses FlexLink technology which allows the rakes to bypass bigger obstacles to prevent any jams or equipment stoppage. Lakeside Equipment Corporation points out how flexible screening equipment will assist wastewater treatment facilities to achieve consistent operation and minimize equipment downtime.
