Permanent
Sludge
Removal
Systems (PSRs)
Now there is a better means available to clean sedimentation basins with
a Permanent Sludge Removal Systems (PSR). PSR products thoroughly remove solids from the bottom of basins using submersible pumps mounted on the headers to enhance suction capacity.
Extracting solids from sedimentation basins is a prerequisite for clean water, and traditional cleaning methods do not deliver the best results. Manual cleaning is labor-intensive, costly and the tank must be taken
off-line and drained. Chain-and-flight and other mechanical methods
simply lack the pumping power and reliability to clean effectively.
The fully automatic equipment is custom-designed for each application
and can be installed in basins of various sizes, including those 330 feet in length with widths more than 33 feet. Its versatility allows it to operate in a circular sedimentation tank.
