Pit Hog: The Unsung Hero of Environmental & Water Treatment

In the world of environmental and water treatment, "Pit Hog" might sound like something out of a dystopian novel. But in reality, it's a powerful and essential piece of equipment – a sludge pumping system developed by Liquid Waste Technology, Inc., that plays a crucial role in keeping our water clean and safe.

What is a Pit Hog?

A Pit Hog is a robust, heavy-duty pump specifically designed to handle the thick, abrasive, and often corrosive sludges found in various water treatment processes. It acts as the muscle behind the scenes, removing unwanted solids from settling pits, clarifiers, and other tanks. This process, known as sludge removal, is essential for maintaining efficient water treatment operations.

Why is it Necessary?

Sludge accumulation can cause a range of problems in water treatment facilities, including:

• Reduced treatment efficiency: Sludge build-up can interfere with the proper functioning of settling tanks and other treatment processes.
• Corrosion: Sludge can be corrosive, damaging equipment and leading to expensive repairs.
• Odor and health hazards: Decomposed sludge can release unpleasant odors and potentially hazardous gases.
• Increased operational costs: Regular sludge removal is crucial to prevent costly downtime and repairs.
