PROBLEM 1
Low Flow Rate: when water isn't moving like it should.
A sudden drop in flow can slow operations, delay sampling, or cause compliance issues. Most causes are easy to spot and fix on-site.
Problem 2
Frequent Bag Filter Changes: when filters clog faster than they should.
If you're constantly replacing bag filters, your system may be overloaded with sediment or lacking proper pretreatment. A few adjustments can help reduce waste and downtime.
Problem 3
Contaminant Breakthrough: when contaminants show up in discharge samples.
If your system isn’t removing what it should, it could mean the media is exhausted or flow is too fast for effective treatment. Early detection is key to avoiding permit violations.
