Flushing Drums
The flushing drum system is an effective, automatic cleaning device, which utilises combined storm water to flush the tank without the use of an external energy supply, final effluent or fresh water, minimising the load on the sewage treatment plant. The system is very flexible and therefore ideal for retrofitting into existing tanks as well as new constructions.
