More about the Patented ROLAPAC Floating Layer Remover
Urban areas increasingly faced with the formation of fat layers in sewage pumping stations. The accumulation of fats, wipes, and other unwanted materials causes failures, high cleaning costs, and unsafe working conditions for maintenance teams.
The patented ROLAPAC floating layer remover provides a future-proof solution. The system prevents the formation of floating layers and instantly delivers significant reductions in maintenance costs and labour time in the management of wastewater pump stations.
At the same time, ROLAPAC demonstrably contributes to a more sustainable, efficient and reliable sewer infrastructure.
More sustainable maintenance, less disruptions
Traditional cleaning using diesel-powered vacuum trucks places a significant burden on the surrounding environment and results in CO₂-intensive transport and processing of waste streams. In addition, heavy rainfall and adverse weather conditions during scheduled maintenance often cause delays, additional administrative workload and inconvenience for nearby residents.
With ROLAPAC, floating layers in pump stations can be reduced by up to 90%. As a result, the need for cleaning operations is significantly reduced, enabling water authorities and municipalities to manage their infrastructure in a more reliable, cost-efficient and environmentally responsible way.
Innovative technology, practical results
With the installation of ROLAPAC, wastewater is no longer extracted solely through low suction points but also via an additional inlet at the top of the receiving chamber. This actively removes floating layers and eliminates the need for multiple maintenance shutdowns and specialised cleaning operations.
In many cases, a single annual inspection is sufficient.
Where wastewater treatment plants are equipped with a biogas installation, ROLAPAC provides an additional benefit: energy-rich grease streams are removed more efficiently, resulting in increased biogas production.
At the same time, the risk of pump failures is significantly reduced or even eliminated. Together, these advantages ensure a short payback period and long-term operational benefits.
ROLAPAC can be installed within a single working day and is seamlessly integrated into the existing control system of the pump station.
