Sludge be gone with Timken

During the primary stages of wastewater treatment, solid materials undergo screening, grit removal, comminution, and sedimentation. The settling tanks use sedimentation to remove the solids, causing them to sink to the bottom. Mechanical scrapers remove the sludge from the tanks, and the waste is pumped out and disposed of. To prevent pollutants from causing harm to workers or the environment, it is crucial to securely contain contaminants during this stage. 

To avoid equipment breakdown and downtime, the machinery used during this process must be kept in good working condition.
