Wastecorp Mud Sucker Pumps Available With Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’S)
Do you need to adjust the speed of your pump’s electric motor, modulating the power being delivered? We’ve got good news; all Mud Sucker diaphragm pump models are now available with a variable frequency drive (VFD).

- VFD’s
help to accommodate fluctuating demand by adjusting pump energy consumption and costs by adjusting the amount of power delivered to the motor for pumping specific tasks.
Public utilities and industrial fluid handling facilities are increasingly specifying pumps with VFD’s to reduce maintenance costs and energy consumption. Since not all pumping jobs are alike, the pump adjusts the power being delivered when handling higher than normal levels of slurry, mud, raw sewage, water and more.
Dredging Pump Projects Made Easier
With dredging applications, Wastecorp generally encounters at least a few different kinds of projects: city or town sanctioned projects that are part of canal and waterway management programs and private projects that include beautification, enhanced recreational access and improved appearance. For public projects, we generally work with engineering and construction firms who are responsible for removing thousands of cubic yards of sediment, mud, and debris that accumulates in canals and along the banks of waterways. For these projects, single diaphragm pumps or double diaphragm pump outs units can be a valued support technology for the existing mechanical and hydraulic dredging methods
What Kind of Pump To Use for Dredging Applications?
Private dredging applications vary in size and scope. One of our resort customers based in Fiji, encountered several challenges while constructing a new dock at their resort. A barge was used to drive support posts in the deeper 15-20 ft. water depths. Here, they encountered heavy silt and conditions with heavy stone, mud and stick content. read more

Sludge Pumping in New York With Sludge Master Plunger Pumps
Pumping sewage for a city of over eight million people can be a challenging task and that’s exactly what the City of New York and surrounding communities like Westchester County must contend with. Wastecorp completed a plunger pump sludge moving project for the Ossining Waste Water Treatment Plant; a facility located about 30 miles from Manhattan and within walking distance to Sing Sing Correctional facility. Wastecorp’s plunger pumps were approved by GHD Consulting Engineers. Mace Contracting completed the installation. See video
Ossining replaced two existing plunger pumps with next generation Wastecorp Plunger Pumps HPE Series -triplex model HPE 1142. The pumps are designed to transfer thickened sludge to loading trucks that haul it away for sanitary treatment. The pumps feature heavy duty 11” plungers with a guided stuffing box system to reduce wear on the packing, plungers and connecting rods read more about the guided stuffing box system.
Part of Wastecorp’s onsite activities included our extensive classroom training program for facility maintenance staff. Plunger pump training helps staff to optimize performance of the pumping equipment and makes regular maintenance easier, quicker and safer. During the presentation staff learned how to service major components of the pumps including replacing t

Questions: How to Plan a Pump Out for a Larger Marina
When it comes time to plan a new marina pump out system, many customers understandably find it challenging to know where to begin. Some have an idea of what kind of pump they need but aren’t sure about how to configure the pumps and piping. Throw in other elements like pumping up on an incline and it can get tricky. John S. operates a marina in Washington State and he posted the following question in our forum:
Q: “I need to outfit our 200 slip marina with new pump stations with one larger pump to feed the sewage up a 100 ft. hill at approx. a 6 degree slope. The problem is that our slips are spread out without a consistent layout. What kind of pump system do you recommend?” John S. Seattle, WA
A: John, The best idea is to estimate the amount of traffic in the high season like July/August. The number of pump out units you will need depends on how many boats you intend to service at once. Many marinas with 100 slips or more typically have between two and eight pump out collection systems read more
