Silt Pumping Applications: What You Should Know
When we hear about silt pumping applications it usually involves pumping from a mining site, fruit juice concentrate or dredging application. Often, job site operators have contained the silt-laden wastewater in either a holding tank or tote tank. Typically, the liquid waste must be treated or pumped to a larger containment area.
Technology Companies Using Mud Sucker Pumps
Technology giants like HP, Microsoft, Apple and Amazon may not seem like the typical consumers of pumps for process wastewater, back wash and cooling processes. But Wastecorp is seeing much more pump inquiry activity from contractors and high tech end users in California’s Silicon Valley, New York’s Silicon Alley and data centers across the country.
A case in point is Wastecorp’s recent project with an HP research facility in Colorado, USA. We worked with a local contractor to provide
pumps and systems for HP’s state-of-the-art research facility. HP’s facility seeks to reduce IT sprawl, increase energy efficiency and reduce power consumption, all in an effort to help their consumers focus on innovation instead of worrying about their carbon footprint.
Wastecorp went ri
Oil Water Separator Pumps
State-of-the art food processing facilities and the engineers who design them have a challenge in finding the right pumps and control panels to transfer process wastewater. This was the case for fast food restaurant chain White Castle’s brand new innovative processing center in Vandalia, Ohio USA. Wastecorp worked with White Castle, local contractor PAE and Associates (who specialize in Wastewater treatment plant construction) and
Landfill Leachate Pumps
Pumping landfill leachate, wastewater containing solids and other debris is a challenging task that requires high performance pump systems to hold up to day-to-day heavy duty pumping tasks. There are added variables like solids, methane gas and potential site risks that must be taken into account when planning for a landfill wastewater and leachate pumping system.
Planning for New Digester Pumps
Climate changes in the Northeast has also played a role in nudging local government to invest in sewage treatment pumping equipment as unpredictable storms can overload the system.
Pumps for Catch Basin Pumping
Industrial companies, transit authorities, railways and public infrastructure areas can face unique challenges when it comes to pumping out catch basins and sumps during heavy rain and other storms.
Double Disc Pumps and Municipal Sewage Pumping
For years, we have been asking wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) what they like about double disc pumps and what they don’t like. We have even been compiling a database with what regions of the USA and Canada have success with this type of pump for sewage and which areas have had more challenges.
One of the things that most WWTP’s say is that there has been limited competition in the specifications put out for bid by municipalities and consulting engineers working on wastewater projects. As we all know, a monopoly in the pump industry is seldom a good thing for quality, innovation and of course pricing for pumps and parts. Wastecorp is a well known and well respected primary sewage pump manufacturer and has earned the lead spec in thousands of projects from the world’s leading engineering firms. We work with wastewater treatment facility operators everywhere to provide aftermarket support including training new hires, next day parts if required and technical support. The time has come to acknowledge competition in the market for double disc pumps.
The other major suggestion from operators is that double disc pumps have to be able to handle grit and solids more effectively. Otherwise they say, they would rather go with a plunger pump, diaphragm pump, rotary lobe pump or a progressive cavity pump.
A few years ago, Wastecorp put its young and talented engineering team to work combined with our 25 year pump manufacturing excellence track record and launched a double disc pump product line under the brand name Sludge Pro®. Waste water fac
New Condensate Pumps for NYC WWTP
This was just the case for Coney Island’s condensate vacuum pump operations located less than one hundred feet from an inland waterway that flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Salt water destroyed the existing Mud Hog diaphragm pumps, valve systems and electrical panels causing tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage.
Is Self Priming Trash Pump Manufacturing Making a Resurgence in North America?
The trash pump manufacturing business is no different. But to companies like Wastecorp who has manufactured trash pumps, diaphragm pumps , plunger pumps and now double disc pumps on North American soil for over 20 years, we are slightly taken aback by the renewed focus.
