Smith & Loveless Pista Works headworks package wastewater system

The Pista Works headworks package from Smith & Loveless is a pre-engineered packaged wastewater headworks system combining screening, grit removal and grit washing into one integrated system.

The package incorporates the Pista wastewater grit removal chamber, which is said to extract 95% of grit as small as 100 microns.

The complete system is preassembled and shipped direct to the job site, which reduces field-installation costs while allowing for a compact footprint. All equipment components are constructed of stainless steel and use multiple technologies including grit removal technologies Pista 360 with V-Force Baffle, S&L Turbo Grit Pump and the Pista Turbo Grit Washer featuring Tri-Cleanse Technology.

Package components also include flanged connections, a 5 mm fine auger screen, manual bypass bar screen, two platforms for easy equipment access, and epoxy-coated carbon steel skid support for the complete system with concrete fill. Additionally, the system comes with a PLC-based control system with touch screen, colour HMI interface and panel to operate the entire system.

Pista Works operates peak system flow capacity from 1850 to 26,000 CMD, depending on the model.
