Sand Gone, Capacity Restored
38-Tons Removed in Sebring, FL,
Facilities Remain Online
Two facilities in The City of Sebring, Florida were experiencing reduced capacity due to a buildup of sand and grit. Paul Stephenson of U.S. Submergent Technologies (USST) mobilized the USST crew to Sebring and was able to efficiently clean all affected structures.
“Cleaning in submerged conditions is no problem for the USST crew,” said Paul. “Our Combination3® truck outfitted with extended boom, downhole pump, and jetter allows us to be extremely efficient in removing material without having to drain down the tank or require confined space entry.”
“We can save a client valuable time and resources by not having to drain down tanks in order to remove material,” said Denver Stutler, Jr., CEO of USST. “Our equipment is extremely efficient in submerged and surcharged conditions, and tank height is almost never an issue for us.”
A lack of an onsite water supply added complexity to the project, but the crew was able to successfully navigate the issue. Approximately 24-tons of sand and grit material was removed from an aeration basin at the Country Club of Sebring Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), as well as nearly 14-tons removed from two SBR basins at the Airport Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF). The 38 total tons of material was deposited to onsite drying beds, and both facilities remained in full operation during the removal process.
“I found your crew to be very professional and thorough in their cleaning of our aeration basins. Great Job!” said Jack Pollard, Superintendent for the City of Sebring Wastewater Utilities Department.
In addition to valuable capacity being restored, due to the quiet nature of the Combination3® truck which operates under 70-decibels, no noise complaints were reported from surrounding neighborhoods.
