Benefits of Installing a Custom, Automated Septage Receiving Station

1–2 minutes

Septage receiving stations allow municipalities to intelligently manage trucked liquid waste streams entering their treatment infrastructure while earning revenue from dumping fees.

No two septage receiving stations are exactly alike

Each station serves a unique client base and accepts a distinct blend of trucked liquid waste streams.

For example, some septage is from sources that traditionally contain high concentrations of fat, oil, and grease (FOG). In contrast, others require stations receiving septage that require careful pH monitoring to avoid potential damage to downstream equipment.

Municipalities should consider selecting a custom automated system designed to meet their specific needs without requiring excessive maintenance and upkeep.

We include customized features in all new wastewater receiving stations. Employing automations ensures that septage receiving units can function properly under the unique set of conditions they operate within.

Here are just a few examples of benefits associated with the incorporation of custom, automated features into wastewater receiving stations:

  • The use of automated billing systems can allow for accurate measurement of septage quantities and documentation of specific water quality constituents, such as pH, conductivity, or other parameters of concern.
  • Installation of treatment processes for the collection of rocks and grit in solids-laden wastewater can benefit downstream system components by protecting them from damage. In contrast, the use of automated flushing for the maintenance of these processes can significantly reduce maintenance requirements.
  • Automated HVAC systems designed for specific climactic conditions can provide maintenance of suitable station temperatures for receipt of waste year-round.

Considering site-specific operational requirements is essential when selecting an appropriate solution

Choosing the right septage receiving station design and automation setup can help increase revenues and reduce operational costs.
