Bosker does the Business at Deephams
20 July 2015, News release from Jacopa
Jacopa has installed rugged Bosker overhead trash raking systems to protect vital assets at Thames Water's massive Deephams wastewater treatment works.

The company was awarded the significant contract to ensure greater
protection for the fine screens at Deephams, an 885,000PE treatment
works sited in the London Borough of Enfield. The Bosker system reduces
maintenance and operational costs as well as risk to downstream
equipment.
The Bosker overhead trash raking system is installed on the high
level inlet to the works and has to clean five 11m deep by 2m wide
inlets, each of which contains bar screens with 100mm bar spacings.
Two grab units were installed on a duty/standby basis - they have to
be able to remove large debris such as plastic and glass bottles,
timber, concrete and bricks, as well as balls of condensed fat and rag
and metal objects .
The installation can remove at least 8tonnes of debris per hour, and
can cope with storm flows of over 7000 litres/sec. It has been fitted
with a wash down system, which sprays wash water onto the captured
debris before it is transported for disposal.
Jacopa Key Account Manager Mick Burton says: "The Bosker unit is
simple, robust and effective. The Deephams contract is an excellent
example of how, working closely with Thames Water and the contractor, we
have been able to offer the most cost-effective and best-engineered
solution for the site. It's a solution that will provide many years of
extremely high performance screencleaning and protection."
