Instead of Using Divers and Probes to Quantify Grit in Wastewater Tanks, Use SediVision®

Are you still using divers and probes to quantify grit in your wastewater tanks? That is so old school…

If you are still using divers and probes to quantify the amount of grit in your wastewater tanks, then maybe you are also listening to cassette tapes and playing Atari pong on your TV. I know it can be difficult to let go of the past; there is a certain amount of comfort in doing it the old-school way. But maybe it’s time to make a change.

I’m sure by now you are sending emails from a smartphone, and a computer is running your car, so why insist on old tools and methods for your wastewater plant maintenance? Especially when there is a new process called SediVision®, an advanced engineered method that can quantify and geolocate grit in your wastewater tanks.

SediVision Technology: the Better Alternative to Using Divers and Probes in Wastewater Tanks

A SediVision crew can zip in and out, giving you more accurate results with a far less painful process. Results are processed and analyzed by in-house experts in sedimentation science and GIS. The figure below shows the accuracy of the SediVision process, compared side-by-side to a drained down tank.

With tank cleaning, the difference of one foot can mean well over $100,000 in cleaning costs. In the current financial climate, with continuously rising costs, can you really afford that level of error in your estimations?

The chart below outlines estimated cleaning costs for a 1,250-square-foot tank versus a 20,000-square-foot tank.
