More Flushable Products Means More Greasy, Sticky Sewage
March 8, 2006
As the number of "flushable" products -- from cat litter to toilet brushes -- increases, so does the proportion of grease and solids in wastewater systems.

Just increasing the solids load is enough to cause big cost increases for treatment, which is passed along to water users.
Related products: clarifiers, DAF clarifiers, bar screens
