With tough sludge pumping applications like those found at municipal Wastewater Treatment Facilities, (WWTP’s) having the right primary sludge pumps can help reduce hassles and your spare parts budget down the road.
Primary Sludge Pumps | What you Should Know
How to Pump Wet Wipes and Cooking Oil
In North America, municipal wastewater treatment operators routinely voice their concerns to Wastecorp about the use of wet pipes by the general public and then flushing them down the toilet. “Do you guys make a pump that can better handle the wet wipes” is a question Wastecorp frequently receives at our sludge pump call centers. Jim K. from Winston Salem North Carolina tells it like it is:
Pump Stations for Expanding WWTP’s
Trash pump stations for expanding wastewater treatment plants are an effective way to transfer secondary sludge and raw effluent. Wastecorp recently designed and manufactured this four pump solution for an expanding community near Canada’s capital (see the video below). These trash pumps feature a 3” connection and each pump is capable of transferring 740 GPM.
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.
How to Change The Disc Assembly on A Double Disc Pump
The video below shows how to change the trunnion on a Sludge Pro double disc pump. As you can see most of the maintenance is done with the operator standing up and most components visible to the operator.
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.
Primary Sludge Pumps at a WWTP
Primary sludge pumps are typically used in municipal Wastewater treatment facilities to transfer digested sewage and sludge.
A New Direction in Plunger Pumps: Sludge Pumping Capabilities With A Cleaner Design
When consulting engineers’ and facility operators begin to plan an upgrade for their sewage treatment plants most are considering four primary pumps: Plunger pump technology, rotary lobe pumps, progressive cavity and double disc pumps.
Sludge Handling Equipment Improvement Project – Municipal
When Wastecorp works with consulting engineers and operators on sewage treatment plant improvements, we look to limiting the footprint inside the plant due to the
Engineering Students Learn About Advanced Pump Technology
Wastecorp was glad to see so many engineering students focusing on pump technology at WEFTEC in Los Angeles. The great thing about meeting these students is that Wastecorp did most of the listening.
