Abstract
Sewage solids normally consist of cloth, pieces of paper, garbage, sticks, fecal matter and almost anything that can be flushed down a sewer. It is these solids, if unchecked, that will clog or damage pumps, valves and sludge removing equipment. Solids will also interfere with the treatment process. To prevent damage or interference, it has been almost a universal practice to install bar racks, screens or a shredding device to pre-process the raw sewage as it enters the plant. This report will be limited primarily to the raw wastewater shredder, that screens and shreds in the wastewater stream, and its effect on the mechanical processes at the treatment plant.
