Wet Well Mixing System Eliminates Grease and Debris Buildup

Problem: Cumming, Georgia, faced a severe buildup of grease and other debris in pump stations, causing pump clogging and expensive service to clean wet wells. In addition, there was a pump station generating significant odor problems for the neighborhood.

Solution: Pro Pump Solutions of America provided the PHi-CA wet-well mixing system from Pulsed Hydraulics developed by Steve Buckley and C3ND Environmental Consulting. The city installed the mixer to eliminate the grease buildup. City staff believed the thorough mixing would also mitigate the pump station odor problem.

Result: The wet wells now remain free of debris accumulation, and the city has eliminated the expense of time-consuming pump unclogging and wet-wells cleaning. The mixing process also mitigated the odor problem. 508-742-7324; www.c3ndenviro.com
