Passing vs. chopping solids

Some municipalities opt to pass whole solids in wastewater systems rather than chopping or grinding them due to simpler operations, compatibility with existing infrastructure, and alignment with environmental and regulatory standards. This approach can reduce maintenance, avoid potential microplastic concerns, and meet various guidelines. The best method depends on each system’s specific needs.
