What LibertyCES's vendor documentation shows

The 6100 is the first AVCO product to explicitly name wastewater as a target industry — notable given the rest of AVCO's catalog is pressure/temperature/fire-safety-driven oil-gas-chemical work. Real fit: the solids-cutting bevelled gate is the right architecture for rag- and grit-laden sludge lines where a ball or butterfly valve fouls.

The bevelled, solids-cutting gate is the right architecture for rag- and grit-laden sludge lines where a ball or butterfly valve fouls — this is the first AVCO product in the catalog to name wastewater directly, notable given the rest of the line reads oil-gas-chemical pressure/fire-safety spec sheets.
