An important part of purchasing dewatering equipment for your business is to work with an established, reputable company in the area. These companies are able to provide support throughout the purchase, delivery, installation, and configuring of the system, and they to continue to provide needed support once the system is in operation.

Most of the companies offering dewatering equipment also provide ongoing disposal services for the sludge or biosolid waste material collected in the tank. They offer the roll-off truck service that can come on a regular schedule to empty the tank, or they can be contacted on an as-needed basis.

However, they can also be instrumental in assisting with the setup process for the system. There are important decisions to be made as to the placement of the equipment, as well as ensuring the system is correctly installed and ready for operation.

Locations Considerations

It is critical to consider the type of wastewater that is processed, and if issues such as odor need to be considered when selecting a location. When there are organic solids or a variety of chemicals present in the wastewater, there is going to slight to moderate odor around the equipment. The system should also be located around the sewer drain areas to allow for easy management of the effluent water.

Ideally, the dewatering equipment is positioned away from the entrances to the building, as well as away from any ventilation or HVAC systems. It should not be in a heavy traffic area of the business, but it also needs to be easily accessible for container removal and return.

Regulations and Requirements

Most cities, municipalities, and other types of governing agencies have regulations or zoning restrictions that stipulate where this type of equipment can be placed. Before ordering and having the equipment delivery, review any regulations, and obtain any necessary permits and approvals.

Local companies offering dewatering solutions are familiar with local requirements and regulations, and they can be instrumental in helping your business to both positions as well as install the equipment to meet these standards.
