Weirs and Scum Baffles

WEIRS

NEFCO can meet a wide variety of weir requirements including virtually any size and shape V-notch, rectangular or sharp-crested effluent weir. Weir plates are available in several thicknesses and in lengths up to twelve feet. These long lengths mean fewer splice plates and reduced installation time. Custom lengths up to twenty feet can also be provided. Weirs are supplied complete with weir washers, splice plates, and stainless steel fasteners. NEFCO supplies Isophthalic Polyester (Type I), Vinyl Ester (Type II) and NSF 61 weirs and scum baffles.

SCUM BAFFLES

Scum baffles are available as straight edge panels in a variety of widths ranging from 6″ to 48″ and lengths to twenty feet. For additional rigidity, a 12″ scum baffle with ¾” return flanges at the top and bottom is available. Scum baffles are supplied complete with splice plates, scum baffle brackets, and all of the required stainless steel anchors and fasteners. Several types of baffle brackets are available to suit different application requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is fiberglass a better choice than steel for wastewater and water reclamation facilities?

Fiberglass is highly resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and moisture, making it ideal for the harsh environments found in wastewater treatment plants. Unlike steel, it won’t rust or degrade when exposed to sewage, chlorine, or other harsh chemicals.

How does fiberglass improve the longevity of infrastructure in wastewater facilities?

Fiberglass structures, tanks, and components have a much longer lifespan than steel because they don’t corrode or require frequent maintenance. This reduces downtime and replacement costs.

Does fiberglass require less maintenance than steel in water treatment applications?

Yes. Steel requires constant monitoring for rust and corrosion, as well as periodic repainting and coatings. Fiberglass, on the other hand, is virtually maintenance-free and can last for decades with minimal upkeep.

How does fiberglass perform in extreme conditions found in wastewater facilities?

Wastewater plants deal with high humidity, constant chemical exposure, and fluctuating temperatures. Fiberglass remains structurally stable under these conditions, whereas steel weakens over time due to oxidation and chemical exposure.

Is fiberglass more cost-effective than steel for wastewater treatment infrastructure?

While fiberglass may have a higher initial cost, its long lifespan, minimal maintenance, and reduced replacement frequency make it the more cost-effective solution over time.

How does fiberglass enhance safety in wastewater facilities?

Fiberglass is non-conductive, reducing the risk of electrical hazards in wet environments. Additionally, it doesn’t produce sparks, making it a safer choice in areas where flammable gases may be present.

Can fiberglass structures withstand chemical exposure in water reclamation plants?

Yes, fiberglass is highly resistant to chemicals such as chlorine, sulfuric acid, and hydrogen sulfide, which are commonly found in wastewater treatment processes. Steel requires protective coatings and frequent inspections to avoid degradation from these chemicals.

How does fiberglass compare to steel in terms of installation and handling?

Fiberglass is significantly lighter than steel, making it easier to transport and install without the need for heavy lifting equipment. This reduces labor costs and speeds up installation.

What are the environmental benefits of using fiberglass in wastewater treatment facilities?

Fiberglass requires fewer resources for maintenance, reducing the need for repainting, chemical coatings, and replacements. Its longevity also minimizes waste, making it a more sustainable choice than steel.

Where is fiberglass commonly used in wastewater and water reclamation facilities?

Fiberglass is used for tanks, walkways, covers, baffles, weirs, and structural supports. Its durability and resistance to corrosion make it ideal for all areas of water and wastewater treatment.
