'); document.writeln(''); document.writeln('How does a simple piece of equipment with no significant power requirement improve effluent quality, save time and improve health and safety in one fell swoop? Quatroserve believe QuatroBrushes do and as part of a major refurbishment project carried out by local M&E contractors A. C. Chesters, Severn Trent Water have had QuatroBrushes fitted to all 15 final settlement tanks at their Strongford Sewage Treatment Works at Stoke on Trent.'); document.writeln('

'); document.writeln('Reduced frequency of cleaning outlet channels inevitably results in unchecked spread of fibrous algae, duck weed, fungal growth and a variety of other debris, which when they break off result in poor effluent quality. Strongford’s 15 final settlement tanks did not have any kind of automated cleaning system fitted and relied on time consuming and laborious manual outlet channel cleaning. Manual brush cleaning of channels unavoidably creates a period of high solids release which contributes significantly to poor effluent quality. Importantly, in many cases manual brushing exposes the operator to numerous potential hazards during the sweeping operation.'); document.writeln('

'); document.writeln('Quatroserve’s QuatroBrushes have proven to be a reliable and effective solution to all of these concerns at numerous works. Towed by the settlement tank scraper, the continual brushing action inhibits the growth of long fibrous algae thereby ensuring that large particles or periodic discharge of effluent with large quantities of suspended solids are avoided completely. QuatroBrushes are operator friendly and free personnel from the potential hazards and risks attached to the cleaning operation. The inherent simplicity of the QuatroBrush means that all the labour savings gained aren’t subsequently swallowed up in time consuming and expensive maintenance. QuatroBrushes are constructed from corrosion resistant Stainless Steel and High Density Polyethylene and apart from periodic replacement of the brushes require only basic inspection to ensure continued satisfactory operation'); document.writeln('

'); document.writeln('QuatroBrushes unique modular design mean that they can be fitted to numerous different channel or bridge designs, which explains the rapid growth in use by more and more Water Companies and Equipment manufacturers.'); document.writeln('

'); document.writeln('Quatroserve Environmental Engineers designed the QuatroClean Trailer to offer operators the most flexible and adaptable means of transporting and delivering liquids for wash down, cleaning, irrigation or a myriad of other purposes. It is rapidly becoming the machine of choice for numerous customers in situations where access to water is often difficult or impossible.'); document.writeln('

'); document.writeln('Initial development of the QuatroClean Trailer was done in conjunction with Severn Trent and Anglian Water, both of whom saw the need for a flexible system which gave them wash water at locations where there is no existing mains water supply or where the wash water did not comply with the latest water by-laws. In evolving the basic design of the QuatroClean Trailer, Quatroserve took a long hard look at what the unit was likely to be required to do and what products already existed in the market place. It quickly became apparent that specific machines existed that addressed specific problems but a truly adaptable tanker did not. Adaptability therefore, became central to the QuatroClean.'); document.writeln('

'); document.writeln('QuatroClean features a 1000 litre internally baffled galvanized tank built onto a galvanized mild steel chassis. It has a standardised mounting pod into which various removable pump sets can be clipped. In practice numerous unique benefits are reaped: Firstly the actual pump to be used can be selected or changed to suit the task, so if it were to be used for removal of Graffiti, for example, a pressure washer/jetting unit can be attached. If hose down is required, a centrifugal unit can be deployed and if simple irrigation of plants were required, a smaller pump can be used.'); document.writeln('

'); document.writeln('Not just able to pump the tank out, QuatroClean’s pipe work enables it to be self-filling, so, if required, it can fill itself from a suitable water source; QuatroClean can even be used to collect spillages in emergencies.'); document.writeln('

'); document.writeln('QuatroClean’s demountable pump-sets provide a number of operator benefits, as illustrated above, one tanker can be put to a number of operational roles resulting in excellent asset utilisation. The pump-sets can more easily be secured against theft (ie. Removed from trailer when not in use), are easier to work on and maintain, can be utilised as portable pumps when tanker is not required and be interchanged between tankers if required.'); document.writeln('
