What are the Likely Failures of Treatment Plants?

Posted by Callum Vallance-Poole, on July 10, 2024.

The likely failures of a wastewater treatment system are typically related to electrical issues and improper understanding or care of the system. It’s important to remember that the treatment system relies on a working biological process, so it’s crucial to only allow biodegradable items into the tank and avoid introducing plastics, rubber, cans, and excessive amounts of cleaning products that can disrupt the biological process. Achieving a balance in the tank is essential for optimal performance.

The system’s components will also experience wear over time. Compressors, such as diaphragm, piston, or rotary vane compressors, have specific maintenance requirements outlined in the installation instructions. This may include regular cleaning or replacement of air filters and blades. It’s recommended to consult the service manual provided by the manufacturer for a better understanding of the maintenance procedures.

If you have concerns or want to learn more about your system, it’s advisable to seek the assistance of a competent service engineer who can provide maintenance services and offer on-site advice. At Graf, we offer flexible options for sending engineers to help you understand and optimise your system’s performance.
