Campground Pump and Park Pump Manufacturers

For recreational campgrounds and government operated parks, one of the important operations management factors to remember is having a pump system to pump out septic waste from RV’s, portable toilets and removing wastewater from public areas after storms or floods. There are a number of pump products available to parks and campgrounds to manage septic pumping, waste oil pumping from restaurants, grey water, black water and portable toilet pumping

Vacuum Pumps for Marinas

One of the best ways to pump out boats ranging from 22’ all the way up to 200’ ferries and commercial vessels is by using a vacuum pump. The higher suction power can pump disposable wipes and other solids found in septic waste relatively quickly so that the next boat can be serviced. This is especially helpful during summer months when boat traffic tends to spike. Jim R. from Fort Lauderdale, Florida demonstrates an inquiry we see a lot of: When renovating or expanding a marina is there a pump out for multiple boats with one system? See below:

“Hello, one of our Florida State marina’s will be going through an extensive expansion and renovation in the next 6 months. We are expanding to about 250 slips and we are looking for an advanced pump out system to accommodate multiple slips and users. The boats in the marina range fr read more

Commercial Waste Trap Grease Pumps – What to Know

Waste trap grease pumps for commercial applications can be used for a wide variety of applications involving pumping grease from the source to a suitable treatment area. One such pump for pumping waste trap grease is the Mud Sucker Diaphragm pump which is used in shopping centers, hospitals, school cafeterias, restaurants, prisons and other government institutions where pumping grease for treatment is required.

For example, an engineer in Miami, Florida was tasked with designing a pump system for a large mixed use shopping center with restaurants and other attractions that involve pumping from grease pits to a collection area. The challenge was configuring the piping through the multi-level shopping center which was under construction and meeting city bylaws for proper waste trap grease treatment. The engineering firm and the contractor contacted Wastecorp to inquire about the Mud Sucker Diaphragm Pump’s track record in grease trap waste pumping.

How to Position Waste Trap Grease Pumps

Using CAD and Solid Works, Wastecorp’s grease pump engineering team worked with the consulting engineer and contractor to locate the pumps in the parking area. Since the shopping center was targeted for an upscale shopping experience, the pumps were surrounded by gates and an aesthetically pleasing enclosure to minimize the public’s exposure to such pumping equipment. The goal was for the public to not even notice the grease trap pumps.

How to Pump Out of Waste Pits

Waste pits, sump pits, catch basin, overflow pit, pumping from waste containers are all pump applications that medium and large size facilities have to contend with in the food, manufacturing, chemicals, and septic management industries. Having the right pump and piping arrangement can help you get the job done properly.

We want to walk you through just a few of the critical factors you need to consider when planning your waste pit application.

What is the Sump Pit Depth That You Need to Pump Out Of?

The depth of your pit or suction line will determine what type of pump you need. For pits from 5’-10’ deep a diaphragm pump may work well for this application. The photo yo read more

Whether you’re pumping manure, silt from a pond, fruit juice or vegetable matter and more,having a trusted pump by your side can mean the difference between having aconsistently reliable pump and one that is nothing but hassles or in need of repair. Troy from Sandusky Ohio, has been a farmer in the area for decades.Here’s part of the discussion we had with him about his pumping needs and some recommendations we made:

The Specification Process For Double Disc Pump Bids. Concerns by a Competitor

Wastecorp was recently exhibiting our newest double disc pumps for the municipal wastewater treatment market and industrial fluid handling space, when we were approached by a consulting engineer who mentioned that there was a double disc pump project out for bid. The engineer mentioned that the project was for the primary sewage treatment pumping equipment section of a complete plant refurbishment at a large municipality in Texas. They noticed the Sludge Pro Double Disc Pump was not named in the specification. Wastecorp, the manufacturer of Sludge Pro Double Disc Pumps was shocked and surprised. Large and small consulting engineering firms that work with municipal public works projects are almost universally aware that there are at least two competitors in the double disc pump manufacturing industry. One of the reasons why Wastecorp exhibits at regional water quality conferences is to build awareness with WWTP operators and consulting engineers that competition exists in the double disc pump space and the market offers a more robust alternative than traditionally known.

Double Disc Pump Planning and Bid Stage

We have noticed that when a double disc pump for a WWTP upgrade or expansion goes to the planning stage and/or bid stage, we get calls from consulting engineers saying that the competitor or their pump distributor make misleading or incomplete statements about double disc pump competition. What it boils down to is trying to eliminate competition. In America, we call this an attempt to create a monopoly. History has shown that monopolies are seldom good for competition in the pump business or any other business for that matter. History has also shown that monopolies in the United States aren’t looked at favorably by either regulators or the public.
