Exciting advancements mark the evolution of Smith & Loveless' PISTA® Grit Concentrators, with DURALYTE® now established as the standard bottom cone material and option. Crafted from a durable proprietary polymer material, the DURALYTE® cone achieves exceptional removal of over 95 percent of residual organic material. Notably, it offers the added convenience of being replaceable by a single technician, enhancing operational efficiency. For installations facing challenges like combined sewer systems, high infiltration and inflow (I&I), or exceptionally heavy grit loads, a new bottom cone constructed of ultra-durable ni-hard will be recommended. This novel two-piece design, reminiscent of the classic one-piece ni-hard concentrator, is engineered for ease of operation and maintenance, showcasing Smith & Loveless' commitment to providing flexible and efficient solutions for grit removal in wastewater treatment.
The incorporation of DURALYTE® as the standard bottom cone material underscores Smith & Loveless' dedication to innovation and sustainability. This advanced polymer material not only ensures exceptional grit removal efficiency but also aligns with the industry's pursuit of environmentally friendly and durable solutions. The introduction of a new ni-hard bottom cone design addresses specific challenges faced by installations with complex conditions, offering a robust and easily maintainable solution. With these enhancements, the PISTA® Grit Concentrators continue to set the standard for grit removal technology, providing wastewater treatment facilities with reliable and adaptable solutions for diverse operational requirements.
