The Agony of Lobe Pumps and Their Alternatives
The first visit to a wastewater treatment plant with lobe pumps was a shocker. $550,000 in replacement parts costs spent over the course of just 3-4 years. My response to the plant operator was, “you haven’t spent $550,000 in plunger pump parts over 30 years” so why is the consulting engineer specifying those types of pumps!”
Funeral Home Pump Options
Funeral homes have specific needs for pumping equipment. Whether those needs involve wastewater sumps, embalming room pumps or sewage discharge pumps, funeral directors depend on reliable pumps given the sensitive nature of the tasks at hand.
Wastecorp’s Mud Sucker diaphragm pump is one example of a typical pump installation for funeral home sumps, catch basins and embalming room applications. The Mud Sucker is a solids handling pump so blood, fat and bodily fluids are able to be transferred by the pump and discharge appropriately. In the photo you see here a Mud Sucker 2FACB-EC Is connected to the funeral home sump in the basement. The sump pit has suction lines from the embalming room and wastewater lines . The discharge line travel up to discharge into a State approved discharge line. Be sure to check local regulations for funeral home sump pits.
Pulp and Paper Process Pumps and You
Pulp and paper processors, saw mills and carton companies have a challenge in finding the right pumping equipment for various parts of their processes.

Operators often do not have all the information needed to select the right size and style of pumps needed for this variety of pumping needs around their facility.

Marine Pump Questions and Answers
If you’re looking to plan a new marine vacuum pump out system or replace an existing one this is a good place to start. Wastecorp is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer of marine vacuum pump out systems for marinas. One of our marina customers recently exemplified what’s on the mind of marina operators these days when it comes to planning a marina vacuum pump out:
Hi, we just bought a marina in Maryland and the pump out we have needs replacement. We are planning on expanding the marina with about 50 more boat slips which will bring our total to about 121. What we would like to explore is a marine vacuum pump out system that can pump out more than one boat at a time. We got quotes on peristaltic marine pumps and my buddy who has a marina doesn’t like them; so that’s out. The previous marina owner also told us
that more boaters are pumping out disposable wipes and other weird things in their boat holding tanks that makes having strong suction a necessity. We would like information on vacuum pumps that can sit on a dock and compare what a portable unit would cost. The idea is that we could use the mobile pum
Pumping Wastewater in Nassau County
Pumping wastewater in Nassau County NY poses unique challenges. First the county borders Long Island Sound to the North and the Atlantic ocean to the south which can bring variations in both weather and the types of wastewater that need to be pumped. Nassau County is home to over 1.3 million residents with a mix of suburban residents and vacation properties.
The City of Long Beach, New York was impacted by Hurricane Sandy several years ago. The municipal wastewater treatment plant experienced flooding and equipment damage. An additional challenge is a nearby recreation center that includes a golf center. With golf balls and other debris entering the sewage system, the pumps were requested to manage unexpected solids. Wastecorp was awarded the bid to replace an existing plunger pump to upgrade the existing infrastructure. Since the facility is so close to the ocean, a grinder was also installed to manage storm surge debris that will likely occur in the future.
Wastecorp worked with local Long island public works contractor Phillip Ross Industries to design, manufacture and install a read more

Orange County Waste Acceptance Facility Looks for Pump Solutions
Orange county is home to dozens of resorts, hotels and theme parks which generate tens of millions of gallons of wastewater that needs to be treated every year. When an Orlando, Florida renewable energy company earned a multiyear contract to accept waste from local resorts and theme parks, they needed severe duty pumps to transfer thick slurries and solids.
The details of the project called on the requirement of pumps to transfer ground up seafood shells, grease trap waste, utensils, animal renderings, wastewater and more. In this application, the waste is unloaded from a tanker into a waste pit. The waste is then transferred to a conveyor system which then separates most of the foreign objects like utensils, large solids, plastic bags and more. The remaining waste is sent through the Sludge Master plunger pump and then to the digesters of the wastewater treatment plant. With millions of people visiting Orlando resorts and theme parks every year, this amounts to a lot of waste, as tanker trucks deliver new loads of slurry like liquid waste around the clock.
Working with Wastecorp, the company decided on a Sludge Master PE 942 with a 20 hp motor and mechanical force feed oiler for aut
