The sewage grider pump reduces all forms of sanitary waste to a non-clogging slurry and pumps it through a network of small-diameter pipes. Since gravity is replaced by the power of the pump, sewer systems need not run downhill nor require large-diameter pipes, deep trenches, multiple lift stations - or their associated costs.
I thought that pumping manure was it's only purpose because I looked around for another use for it...but 'lo and behold'-it can be used for lift stations...
-Waste Treatment (scum pits, difficult lift stations, digester recirculation, digester scum blankets)
-Pulp and Paper (wood yard and processing plant sumps, chip and bark handling
-Food Processing & Rendering (fruit & vegetable waste, beef, poultry and seafood waste parts, fleshings, hide, bones, fat)
-Miscellaneous (latex skins, plastics, paint sludges, detergent cakes, lagoon cleaning)
