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.
Technology Companies Using Mud Sucker Pumps
Wastecorp went right to work for HP designing and manufacturing two Mud Sucker 3B Series Professional diaphragm pumps to pump cooling tower condenser water, also called backwash pumps.
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 waterway management programs and private projects that include beautification, enhanced recreational access and improved appearance. For public projects, we generally work with engineering

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.

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 alik
