Compact Marine Pump Out System Makes Debut

If your marina is looking for a compact dock side pump out station this season check out the ultra compact Mud Sucker Marine pump out system. The best part about this system is that it was completely engineered with marina operator input. Last season, we asked marinas what new pump out products would most benefit their boaters and improve the overall sanitation system of their marina.

Almost unanimously, marinas expected more compact systems for 2020, with easy-to-use controls and safety built in. Our Mud Sucker pump outs were once again given top ratings by both boaters and marine operators.

What makes the Mud Sucker Compact marine pump out unique is that the entire pump out system sits on a pedestal starting at less than 34″ (49″ with hose stand included) W x 43″ H. You choose between a fiberglass or stainless steel enclosure. All the accessories you need, like a spill proof universal pump out nozzle for any vessel, crush proof hosing, hose stand and standard on/off function is included. Like all of our pump out systems, you can lock the enclosure for added security.

New for this season, you can customize your pump out with automated remote controls and stainless steel hardware for the ultimate in convenience and corrosion resistance. For U.S. customers, make sure you apply for a grant under the read more

Cool Waste Oil Collection Pumping System From Our Customers

Mud Sucker 2FA Series Diaphragm pumps are known for their versatility for oil collection systems, especially waste trap grease, transmission fluids and motor oil. Many of our innovative customers also design their own collection systems. In the installation you see here, one customer used two Mud-Sucker 2FA-EC (electric) diaphragm pumps to set up a new waste oil collection system at a city bus depot. The bus depot collects motor oil and transmission oil in drain pans. The waste is then gravity fed into two, 275 gallon collection tanks, each tank having a pump and float system. The oil is then sucked up and discharged into a common 2″ riser travelling up 25 feet. The oil travels horizontally for 161 feet and then drops 25 feet into a larger storage tank. The suction and discharge height are well within the limits of these Mud-Sucker pumps.

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.

What Does A Marine Pump Out Station Do?

A marine pump out station is a facility that allows for boat owners to pump out sewage from their boat’s holding tanks. Having a pump out station for boats is essential for maintaining clean waterways and preventing pollution.

Importance of Planning Your Marine Pump Out Station

Planning a marine pump out station ensures optimal functionality and waste management at your marina. The process involves knowing your marina’s available space, daily traffic and average vessel size to ensure you are getting the appropriate equipment. Consulting other marinas and marine pump experts ahead of when you actually need it installed can also provide valuable insights.

Wastecorp, a leading marine pump out manufacturer, has over the past few years observed an emerging trend: marinas experiencing increased boat and yacht traffic. In fact, it’s forecasted that the recreational boat market will reach USD 27.45 billion by 2030. As such, it’s crucial that your current marine pump out plan can also accommodate future growth effectively.

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 three read more

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 read more

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.

 

What Does Improved Diaphragm Pump Production Efficiency Do for The End User?

Wastecorp’s improved production efficiency gets translated into cost savings for the pump user in a variety of ways.
