A Turnkey Solution for a Unique Situation
Duke Energy contacted us with a request to analyze their current water filtration issues. There setup consisted of a 140 cu.ft. Sperry filter press suspended 16 feet over a trailer inside a closed building. This set up allowed them to collect water from the Muskingum River, process it and filter it through the filter press for easy “sludge elimination”. When the trailer was full a truck could easily drive off with it and a new trailer installed to take its place. The system had to be enclosed to ensure the sludge did not freeze solid in the trailer.
Although the setup was a great design, the filter press was not working properly. Upon inspection we determined it had severe deflection when pressure was added to the press. This caused visible bending and arching of the Filter Press side bars. It was also noted that every time the pumps engaged to fill the Filter Press the entire building moved.
