Degrilleur and Ultra Polylok


Prevention is better than cure with Marsh’s Degrilleur


In response to water companies’ appeals to reduce the amount of non-biodegradable material being discharged into the sewage system, treatment plant specialist Marsh Industries now offers a range of Degrilleur trash barriers for pump chambers and sewage treatment plants. The Degrilleur units will quickly pay for themselves by preventing blockages and possible plant failure or flooding that can be caused by non-dissolvable items being flushed into the system.
