Grey Water Drainage Made Easy: A Logistics Company’s Drainage Issues Solved by Sanicom 2 - A Case Study

This case study explores the successful installation of the Sanicom 2 drainage pump, showcasing its role in addressing specific challenges faced by a logistics company. The Sanicom 2, known for its efficient drainage capabilities, was chosen to enhance the company’s wastewater management system.

Addressing the Challenge of Managing Grey Water from an Office Pantry

The logistics company faced a significant challenge in managing grey water from a busy pantry, where employees frequently prepared and consumed meals. The pantry's location was far from the existing drainage point, making gravity-based drainage solutions impractical. This distance created a potential for wastewater backup and inefficiencies in wastewater management.

Requirements: To address this issue, the company sought a reliable solution that could effectively transport grey water over a considerable distance to reach the drainage system and manage the continuous operation of the busy pantry while also preventing any potential drainage problems.
