Smith & Loveless Model 4B2H Vacuum Primed Top Mounted PISTA Turbo Grit Pump

Vendor: Smith & Loveless, Inc.

Reason: To run an MBR facility successfully, there needs to be grit removal prior to the MBR process.  The reason for this is because the MBR process is biological and cannot handle inorganic material entering and settling in the basins.  The grit pump was damaged during the 2024 floods which was a result of the Salt fires around Ruidoso.  Smith & Loveless is the only distributor of this particular pump/volute setup because of the vacuum port that is included.  This Smith & Loveless small carbon footprint grit system cannot operate without this pump/volute.
