Portable Waste Oil Recovery Pumps
Waste oil recovery and pumping is a hot topic right now in the world of pumps. For facilities with multiple storage tanks or sites, a portable pump may be a great option considering the alternatives. Traditionally vacuum pump trucks have been one of the only options available to transfer waste oil from tanks, cargo, tanker ships, on site storage facilities and more. This is no longer the case.
The Mud Sucker diaphragm pump system has a variety of sizes and options to transfer all kinds of waste oils no matter the size of the job or facility. For example, at this North American military base (pictured left), the customer uses Wastecorp’s Mud-Sucker 2F-MC diaphragm pump with wheel kit. This powerful pump is moved easily from site to site and transfers up to 25 GPM. With few moving parts and a contoured velocity channel, this pump is virtually maintenance free.
For large military bases with multiple locations including vehicle service area, aircraft hangers and even waste cooking oil, the Mud-Sucker 3F series (with a 3” connection) provides more pumping power with capabilities up to 80 GPM.

How to Pump Manure Pit Slurry
One of the questions we most frequently here from farmers and ranchers is how to pump cow, sheep, hog or horse manure from one area of their farm to another using the right pumping equipment. Most of the time, manure based slurries contain solids content ranging from 5% -15% solids. If your application is on the lower end of this range, Mud Sucker FA Series are commonly used on farms to transfer slurry based or wet liquids to dry manure piles that absorb moisture. These two inch or three inch pumps can pump from 25-80 US GPM and can discharge from 300-500 feet on level land; we can help you determine the suction and discharge loss when pumping on inclines
Larger farms and ranches with hundreds of cattle, or those with higher solids content, have selected the Mud Sucker B Series Professional with a ball valve system to aid in crushing solids and create a uniform manure slurry for more efficient pumping. These pumps are available in electric, gas and diesel models with either a th
Fueling Vehicles With Waste Vegetable Oil
Oil prices are on the rise again leading businesses and consumers to search for economical and environmentally friendly alternatives to fueling vehicles, homes and businesses. More and more of our customers are looking for pump package solutions to feed waste vegetable oil from grease traps and holding tanks to power vehicles and homes. Pumps help to filter waste vegetable oil such as restaurant waste trap grease so that these fluids can be used as fuel.
One of our customers is a school bus operator in Lee County, Florida and is experimenting with fueling a portion of their school bus fleet with waste vegetable oil. The challenge is how to create a pumping system with limited space and budget constraints. Our pump design engineers are in the final stages of creating a rear bumper mounted system using our Mud-Sucker FA Series pumps to assist in pumping purified waste vegetable oil to a holding tank located beneath the bus. Using an in-line piping design, we have reduced the amount of space needed while preserving the pumping power of the Mud Sucker brand pumps. This test project is one more step forward for Lee County’s environmental initiatives and a testimony to the Mud-Sucker’s versatility.
Wastecorp recognizes that biofuels may not replace fossil fuels anytime soon, but it will make up a growing part of the world’s energy supply and will be critical in efforts to reduce carbon emissions. These efforts start locally and Wastecorp is a proud partner with consumers, government agencies and small and large businesses
Mobile Pumping Solutions
With the official start of camping and boating season right at our door many campgrounds and marinas are considering their septic pumping services for the new season. A common problem at small to mid size campgrounds and marinas is that septic tank trucks have a difficult time maneuvering in tight spaces and of course, there is always the cost and scheduling issues.
Honey Wagon Manufacturer
One solution to this problem is the new 100 gallon Wastecorp Mud Sucker honey wagon. The MS-100 can connect to most utility vehicles or ATV’s for easy transportation to trailers, RV’s and even boats. But the best feature of this pumping system is that the three way valve system allows you to use the pump to both pump waste in and out of the tank. You don’t have to mess with the discharge valve (although the MS-100 has one as a back-up) you simply turn the valve and pump out to an approved dump station. This package also includes everything you need including the high grade crush

Food Processing Pump: Video Case Study
If your facility is considering a food processing pump technology then check out this video case study here. The video shows a Mud Sucker Diaphragm pump at a poultry processing plant transferring up to 110 GPM. You may not want to view until after lunch because it shows the tough chicken waste that the Mud Sucker B Series can transfer like blood, beaks, fat and feet.
New 1025 Gallon Skidded Water Wagon
Wastecorp is pleased to launch our new exclusively designed skidded water wagon with lifting bail.

Pump Out for Water Tour Boats and Cruise Vessels
Pumping Out Bilge Waste
Like all commercial vessels, tour boat operators are required to properly dispose of holding tank (bilge) waste. There are many methods of doing so ranging from a fixed pump out station, using a pump out vessel, a third party service or having your own pumps to do the job.
We’re profiling the case of one New York City based tour boat operator who uses the Mud Sucker 2FA-EC diaphragm pump to manage their pump out operations. First, some background. New York’s five boroughs are home to over a dozen ferry operators, water tours, water taxis – both public and private. Millions of visitors and residents use any one of these services every year. Managing the kind of waste associated with so much visitor traffic requires some creativity and a pump out that can do the job without hassles over the long haul. Keeping the harbors clean is a mission backed by most New Yorker’s and the Mayor’s office.
Many operators use the Mud Sucker as a quick way to empty both waste oil (from their kitchens) and their vessels’ waste holding tanks with fluid transfer capabilities ranging from 20-160 GPM. The added advantage with the Mud Sucker is that it can transfer waste oil including waste trap grease and used vegetable oil. Since many boat operators have a kitchen for entertaining passengers as well as restrooms, it only makes sense to have a pump that can transfer both bilge waste and cooking oil.
In the case of one of our recent customers in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighbourhood, the end user have multiple tour boats docked within a short distance of each other. At the height of tourist season (April-September), these boats are coming in and out of the pier from sun up to sun down. The Mud Sucker 2FA-EC with a wheel kit (shown here) easily transfers the waste holding tank waste into an environmentally fri
Diaphragm Pump Design and Engineering
Wastecorp didn’t invent the diaphragm pump but when we introduced the Mud Sucker diaphragm pump product line almost 25 years ago we set out to innovate and radically transform how customers transfer fluids. One of our first Mud Sucker models, the 4BW-MDD Series is a walking beam style pump that uses a heavy duty piston motion to move heavier slurries found in coal mine, pulp and paper and municipal sewage applications. What makes this pump so special is its ability to transfer heavy solids with a choice of Siemens gear box and motor, gas or diesel engine (Yanmar diesel model shown).
Driving the Conversation in The Diaphragm Pump Business
The variety of pumping applications we see from the field grows everyday; From biodiesel production, bauxite, sugar refining to refineries and waste water treatment. And, each of these applications gets improved pumping performance with different components designed for specific applications. With Wastecorp’s flex-production floor, pump models like the 4BW-MDD can get stainless steel valve seats for customers who move corrosive fluids or FDA compliant internal coatings for customers in the food processing industry.
Wastecorp’s improved production efficiency gets translated into cost savings for the pump user in a variety of ways.
First, you get the pump you need without having to overkill your pump purchase with the tradi
