Our treatment plant is incredibly efficient and capable of processing several types of waste matter.
At Degler Waste Services, we saw a great need for a private pre-treatment wastewater plant to handle not just residential septage waste but also grease trap waste. Before 2007, we were hauling local grease trap waste to a treatment plant over two hours away to dispose of it. That was a 2 times per day trip at 7,000 gallons per load. This trip was necessary because the grease trap waste from the hotels, hospitals, and many restaurants that our team services frequently is not accepted at any local municipal treatment plant. The wastewater plant near our office, BJWSA, was on board with the idea of our team owning and operating a private pre-treatment wastewater plant here in Ridgeland, South Carolina. Opening this plant would alleviate a lot of grease from getting into the city sewer system and causing BJWSA issues with their wastewater plants. In July 2007, our privately owned and run pre-treatment began operation and has been a key component of our day-to-day operation ever since.
Our onsite wastewater treatment plant is incredibly efficient and capable of processing waste in under an hour. When waste is delivered to our treatment plant from homes and businesses, it is neutralized with lime in holding tanks and processed using polymer.
While processing, the waste is separated from the water and moved out of the waste containers, which you can see in the video below. The solids are still held in the wastewater containers after this process takes place, and it only takes about two minutes for the waste in the holding tank to be transported to the wastewater container. This occurs as the polymer is injected into the waste as the separation process gets underway. We have been maintaining this operation since 2007 and look forward to many more years running our treatment plant.
