Septage Management
Septage receiving is becoming a common service at municipal wastewater treatment plants around the world. However, septage receiving can be rather tough on treatment plants as septage can be anywhere from 6 to 80 times more concentrated than municipal wastewater. Septage commonly contains significant amounts of grease, scum, grit, rocks, rags, hair, plastics, and other debris. Many of these contaminants can disrupt and even damage the standard treatment processes used for municipal wastewater treatment. Therefore, it’s imperative that septage is well screened before it enters downstream plant processes. Use of the RotoSieve Septage Receiving Unit not only protects the plant from damage caused by untreated septage but may also create an opportunity for revenue streams that were not available to the plant or community in the past.

Septage receiving is now made easy and convenient using the Roto-Sieve Septage Receiving Unit. With this unit, septage receiving is remarkably clean, efficient, and cost-effective. Trucks can pull up to the unit and unload an entire truck in roughly 15 minutes and have all the septage waste screened, compacted, and put into a waste bin. The compact size make installation easy for any environment. The Roto-Sieve Septage Receiving Unit has various advantages over the standard technologies on the market today. This includes the following:
- High capacity even with high solids content enables fast septage truck unloading.
- No rock trap or grinder is needed. This eliminates the very unsanitary jobs of emptying rock traps daily and maintaining grinders.
- No tank is needed. This eliminates sedimentation problems associated with tank-based septage receiving stations, a common complaint of plant personnel.
- Automatic overflow bypass with overflow sensor and alarm protects downstream processes.
- Self-cleaning design efficiently keeps unit and screen free of debris.
- Reduced odor issues as the unit is completely enclosed and all septage completely exits the unit after every load.
- Innovative drive design of the RotoSieve results in low maintenance and high reliability.
- Low energy use.
- Based on the highly regarded and well proven RotoSieve Drum Screen technology.
- Compact, space-saving design
