After its only operational centrifuge failed in 2016, the city of Hastings, Michigan, needed a dewatering solution to avoid discharge limit exceedances. Operators called Bright Technologies for a rental belt filter press, and a 1.7-meter trailer-mounted belt filter press arrived the next day.

The company also sent a technician to help set up the equipment and train the operators. The unit was up and running that same day at a 90 gpm processing rate, and it continued operating until the centrifuge was repaired.

“These units have worked extremely well for our dewatering needs,” says Lee Hays of Hastings Public Services. “When we experience issues with our dewatering centrifuges or want to perform periodic maintenance on the units, our preferred solution is to contact Bright Technologies for assistance with temporary dewatering.”

Bright Technologies, a division of Sebright Products, manufactures equipment for dewatering and solidification of wet materials. For more information: 269/793-7183 • stuart@brightbeltpress.com • www.brightbeltpress.com
