Anti-Ragging Technology

The San Antonio Water System is soliciting quotes for a pilot program to evaluate anti-ragging technologies that can reduce pump clogging, improve operational reliability, and lower maintenance and energy costs at wastewater lift stations. The pilot will focus on technologies that proactively detect and mitigate the impacts of ragging, wipes, and other non-flushable materials. Vendors will be evaluated on their ability to demonstrate measurable improvements in reliability, maintenance reduction, energy efficiency, and overall lifecycle cost benefits. The pilot will last for 120 days or as needed. Some key aspects of the pilot include: • Reducing pump clogging and improving operational reliability • Lowering maintenance and energy costs • Validating solutions that can operate with existing pump infrastructure • Reducing manual pump cleaning and emergency callouts • Extending asset life and providing measurable operational and financial benefits
