PURPOSE:
Consists of the provision of special parts for the Scott Candler Water Plant sludge collection system. Water treatment plants need sludge collection systems to maintain operational efficiency, reduce sludge volume, manage pathogens, and facilitate downstream treatment. Polychem sludge collectors are standard in many water treatment plant facilities because they provide reliable non-corrosive (heavy duty specially engineered petroleum-based parts in lieu of steel) components suitable for continuous submersion. Heavily engineered plastics offer proven benefits in relation to operational costs in comparison to metal alternatives. Cornerstone H2O, LLC, is the sole distributor for this region as confirmed by the OEM, Brentwood Industries.
