Penstock for wastewater treatment
Efficiently control and isolate water flow in your wastewater treatment facility, ensuring seamless operations and maintaining optimal levels of cleanliness and safety.

Controls and Isolates Waste Water Flow
The Penstock PAR from WAMGROUP is engineered to provide reliable flow control and isolation in municipal and industrial waste water treatment applications. This robust penstock features a steel frame and gate with a neoprene sealing system, ensuring minimal leakage during operation. The equipment is versatile, with applications ranging from municipal waste water and sludge treatment to managing effluents in the beverage and food processing industries. With its capability to handle various sizes up to 2m x 2m, it includes manual and electric actuator options for continuous operation. Designed for durability, it is available in hot dip-galvanized carbon steel, 304L, or 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Equipped with a gear reduction unit and optional electric actuators, the Penstock PAR is an efficient solution for controlling water levels and flow rates in complex waste management systems. Maintenance is simplified through its user-friendly design, and its installation accommodates both circular and rectangular openings, integrating seamlessly into existing infrastructure.
