SRS Crisafulli, Inc. news
The wastewater treatment plant in Phillipsburg was out of EPA compliance and town leaders needed to act. The thinking was that the old lagoon system “was shot”. Like many rural communities who are considering obsoleting their lagoon systems, the town applied for and obtained grants and loans to build a new mechanical wastewater treatment system.
Yet, some Philipsburg leaders were hesitant. They did not want to impose the hardships of higher rates and long-term debt service
Inner City Diesel LTD successfully dredged 30,000 cubic meters of materials in extreme cold conditions, pushing people and equipment to higher levels of performance.
Their customer was under a short timeline and government restriction to clean up two closed coal mine lagoons. Working against freezing temperatures and a short clock created a project with no margin for error. Their decisions regarding manpower, machine performance and team coordination thrust them to success. Inner City
Well, it`s actually a bit of winter schedule, but this winter needs more spring.
We are kicking off our trade show schedule by being in two places: Fargo, North Dakota and Great Falls, Montana. In both cases, we are attending the State Rural Water Show.
At the Fargo Rural Water Show, SRS Crisafulli`s Troy Fercho, Dredge Sales and Rental, will be making a presentation: Wastewater Lagoon Dredging Process.

SRS Crisafulli is packing personnel and equipment to exhibit at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin, September 30th – October 4th.
SRS Crisafulli`s Booths: #726 & 727
We’ll be outside with a Slurry Pump, and a FLUMP with new agitation features on display. Stop by and find out how SRS Crisafulli can solve your settled
If the initial capital investment has caused you to postpone purchase of a dredge, significant tax incentives exist in 2016, which enable you to buy dredges at sharply reduced costs with little or no initial capital expense – i.e., fantastic tax programs like the Section 179 deduction, as well as low interest rate financing.

"Plug and Play" is a catchphrase of USB computer gadgets, representing equipment that can be connected to a system and used immediately. No system configurations; no drivers; no troubleshooting compatibility. In the modern world of plug and pl
While I was traveling from Glendive, MT, where SRS Crisafulli is based, to New Orleans, LA, for Battelle’s 2015 Contaminated Sediments Conference, the EPA was making an emergency trip from its office in Colorado to Glendive to begin to deal with the Bridger Pipeline oil spill, before this also became a contaminated sediments problem.
This is a stark reminder that while many of these projects are long term, and have defined goals, there are emergencies that require immediate acti

Our friend, Governor Schweitzer, is in New York City this week promoting Montana tourism: “go to Montana to see how it was.”
His friend, David Letterman, hosted him on the Late Show last night.
Of great interest to me was Governor Schweitzer’s announcement of the direct from New Yor
System Curves
Just as a plot can be made of pump performance, a graph can be made of the resistance to flow of the piping system through which the pump must drive the fluid. Using the same head-flow coordinates as the pump performance curve, the figures below can be created. The curve in Figure 1 represents a system in which there is no static head. The curve in Figure 2 shows the loss curve displaced upward an amount equal to the static head.
After a pump is
Performance Curves
Performance curves are used to predict a pump`s flow as a function of total dynamic head, impeller diameter, and rotational speed.
Total dynamic head (TDH) is measured in feet and equals the total of a system`s static and dynamic heads. Static head is the vertical distance the fluid is lifted, and does not change the flow. Dynamic head represents the potential head that is lost to friction between the fluid and the piping system, and increas
