overview
This build-up of matting, which can be up to several feet thick, can be caused by fat, oil, and grease (FOG) accumulation as well as other industrial wastewater flow in the collection system. These matting issues can be difficult to remove by plant personnel and can cause lift stations to clog and even shut down. When removed by hand, the troublesome build-up usually comes back within a couple of days. The Matador can also decrease lift station pump maintenance due to its ability to prevent clogging of pumps from lift station debris and matting interference with pump floats.

details
The system uses a regenerative blower (sized to each application) to power the Matador in the wet well. The Matador aids in overall wastewater quality, creating the first stage in digestion and promotes healthy biological growth by breaking down solids into a more digestible form. The Matador also creates an aerobic environment preventing the future production of hydrogen sulfide where thiobacillus bacteria can flourish and consume existing hydrogen sulfide.
