The principle of low maintenance and operationally simple sewage treatment plants is an industry ideal held by sewage treatment plant operators, municipal engineers, and private consultants to reduce total lifecycle costs and operational mitigation. Within this design framework, reliability, versatility, and ease of maintenance are the primary criteria. Among the main considerations are the selection of proven low maintenance technologies, corrosion, and wear-resistant materials, and the use of fully automated control systems for algorithmic management of the technologies. The sedimentation step of the plant which is also most maintenance heavy due to the presence of critical equipment for the recovery of sludge is also the most maintenance heavy. By manufacturing buoyant, non-metallic, maintenance-free sludge scrapers, Huake helps to meet this maintenance burden. These scrapers are constructed from rust-proof, chemically inert composites that obviate the need for the painting, patching, and chronic replacement of corroded elements. Their design limits shaft and wear of the drive units. In the treatment plant of a remote or seasonal resort community where daily operational supervision is absent, the application of Huake scrapers guarantees that primary clarifiers will operate for extended periods without attention. This reliability helps ensure that the plant does not experience process upsets that may lead to non-compliance or system failure.
Huake's technology is helping create a genuinely low-maintenance and economical sewage treatment operation by greatly minimizing the maintenance burden related to the most mechanically fragile element of a sedimentation tank.
