CASE STUDYStarke, Florida

City of Stark, Grit Chamber

POLSTON APPLIED TECHNOLOGIESused the PAT 949 Combination Truck with its 425 hp driven components to clean the bottom of the grit chamber to remove the accumulated material.

Using an 8-inch diameter hose, the PAT 949 Truck ‘pushed’ the material up into the debris tank at a rate of 2,500 gallons per minute.

The sand and grit were immediately separated from the water using our proprietary Polston Process®, and the decanted (or excess) water was returned to the system.

The roughly 40 foot square grit chamber had an estimated 4 feet of sand submerged under 6 feet of water. The accumulated sand and grit had reduced the efficiency of the grit chamber and was potentially exposing other elements in the treatment system to a buildup up of sediments and particulates.
