Available DERAGGER Applications:

The DERAGGER® installation in Palestine, Texas USA, was featured on KLTV news channel. In this feature, learn how “flushable” wipes were plaguing a wastewater plant in Palestine, Texas. After years of research, the city installed three DERAGGER® systems, one for each pump at the plant, to eliminate the clogging and ragging pumps.
