Pressure Sewer Cleaning & Flushing

Low-pressure sewer systems (LPSS) offer numerous advantages compared to gravity-fed systems. They include lower installation expenses, reduced impact on the environment, and the ability to sewer distant or challenging land that is flat, rocky, hilly, wet, and sandy.

Pressure sewers use grinder pumps to macerate sewage and push it through a network. They provide engineers, developers, builders, municipalities, and utility operators with greater flexibility and reliability in all terrains.

• A challenge, however, is that low-pressure sewers may not operate at maximum efficiency until full build-out of the service area is complete. Depending on size and scope, connecting hundreds of homes and businesses to a sewer network can take years. Under-utilized LPSS can fail to achieve needed scouring velocity. In turn, this can can cause blockages in laterals, mains, and pipes or nuisance odors near downstream discharge mains and manholes.
• Designed to operate at 30-80 PSI, LPSS require periodic flushing and cleaning using sewer cleaning and combination trucks. These trucks can discharge 80 GPM at over 2,000 PSI. Over-pressurization during flushing can cause structural damage to critical system infrastructure and fittings, which results in costly repairs and replacements.

2 Feet Per Second is a robust, field-proven tool designed by wastewater operators for wastewater operators. It works in tandem with combination trucks to both clean and protect low-pressure sewer systems. It enables users to achieve the scouring velocity needed while simultaneously controlling and adjusting cleaning intensity based on site conditions.

With 2 Feet Per Second, users can also clearly identify demarcations between municipal mains and customer-owned laterals, benchmark and record system data, and optimize preventative maintenance schedules.
