There are several different companies and services providing dewatering equipment for small to large businesses. Choosing the right manufacturer and company to buy from starts by comparing the actual equipment and how it will stand up to years of use.
There are many different features and functions with the various options in dewatering equipment. Focusing on the basics first and then looking at the additional features is always the best option as it ensures the basics of the system are in place and offer the durability and duty performance cycle that makes it a good return on your investment.
Practical Design
The design of the system should be practical and useful. Some of the best systems are roll-off tanks, which makes it easy to contract with waste disposal companies for pickup and emptying of the tanks when necessary.
Standard 15 and 30 cubic foot roll-off tanks also allow a company to purchase a truck to complete their own hauling, which can also develop an additional line of income in providing the same service for other businesses in the area.
Corrosion Resistant Materials
The most durable of the dewatering tanks are manufactured with the best materials. This includes being built from A-36 carbon steel or equivalent material and then being coated to increase corrosion resistance on the interior and the exterior of the tank.
The tank should come with the filter media that meets or exceeds industry standards, and the system should also have an approved pump and hoses as part of the setup.
Seals, Outlets and Safety Factors
The tank itself should have seals on the back door that are secure and designed to be completely watertight. These are typically EPDM gaskets to create the seal. The system should have drain ports that are threaded for secure hose connections, and they should also have caps and chains to secure the outlets when hoses are not attached.
Comparing the different designs in dewatering equipment provides a clear picture of the quality and engineering that went into the design and manufacturing of the system.
