A solution to pump blockages caused by fats, oils and grease

The festive period brings an increase in the year-round problem of pump blockages caused by FOGs (fats, oils and grease).

Annually throughout the UK and US, water companies and municipalities spend millions reacting to this issue. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that FOG accounts for around 30% of pump station failures in the US.

Along with the disruptive and costly necessity of manually lifting pumps, blockages can lead to environmental incidents and costly fines for sewerage discharge.

The solution is at hand with the Deragger II, a low-voltage electronic pump management system. The Deragger II’s patented technology works in real time to identify and eliminate potential pump blockages before they can occur.

Additionally, the device boasts a wealth of sophisticated built-in diagnostics and power monitoring. It stores over 300 timestamp events, alarms and trips, and provides 365 days of downloadable data.

Measuring just 35mm in width, the Deragger II is din rail mounted and easily retrofits into existing control panels, making it the perfect solution for even the smallest pumping stations. It connects easily through plug and play, with In-line (DOL), Delta-wye (Star/Delta), Soft Start or VSD.
