Waste Oil and Wastewater Pumps for the Natural Gas Industry

Honey wagon waste containment systems are used across a wide range of industries and have endless application uses. Waste containment systems are used to pump out wastewater, oil or septic waste from storage tanks, lagoons, barrels and more. The national gas industry requires honey wagons as well. From natural gas well process uses, wastewater containment and facilities management, portable waste containment systems play a valuable role in collecting wastewater and safely transporting is to an environmentally responsible dump station. With the advent of fracking, our customer base for waste containment systems in New York State, PA, Virginia and Kentucky has rapidly expanded. Dustin R, from Lexington, KY recently contacted Wastecorp about a new pump out system for his Natural gas company:

“We are looking for a mobile tank system to drain used oil tanks. The pump we would like to use is an air driven dia read more

Pump Industry News: Replacing a Komline Sanderson Plunger Pump

Many of our wastewater treatment plant operators looking to upgrade their sewage pumps to the next generation plunger pumps have a wide set of options for a no piping change or little alternation to the existing set up. New sewage pumps can help make the facility more efficient and productive. This is available to all plunger pump customers including competing makes like Komline Sanderson* and Carter* Plunger Pump customers.

With a 3 hp motor, and 4″ discharge. Mike D. from Fort Worth Texas illustrates a number of pump questions we get from public utilities  operators.

“I am looking to replace 2 Komline Sanderson KS-9 plunger pumps at my wastewater treatment facility. The pump characteristics are 140 GPM at 90 ft head. We get some grit in our sewage and we have a grinder on the suction lines of both pumps. Current pump is duplex plunger pump general arrangement. What is your equivalent of this pump? Do I have to make piping changes to my effluent lines? And what other pumps do you manufacture that we could consider installing? .” Thanks, Mike D. Fort Worth, Texas

Well Mike, you have a few different options when replacing those Komline Sanderson Plunger Pumps. As you know all plunger pumps are positive displacement pumps so you will have pulsation in your lines. Our air chambers which act as pulsation dampeners are on both the suction and the discharge which really helps with thinner read more

Updating Your Wastewater Pumping System

When it comes time to update your wastewater pump system especially for mobile applications you should know your options. There are a range of products available with components designed for your specific application. The photo you see left was sent by a multinational mining company who contacted Wastecorp to design a new fleet system to collect used machine oil and wastewater from various mining sites. The previous pump systems had been in service for over 30 years and the customer required an updated pump out system with added durability and pumping power. The customer also had height restrictions for pumping in a variety of mining facilities including shafts and waste ponds.

Wastecorp went to work and supplied the customer with quantity 10 read more

How to Change The Disc Assembly on A Double Disc Pump

When Wastecorp designed the Sludge Pro Double Disc Pump we set out with the goal to engineer the easiest to service sewage pump available to engineers and WWTP end users. One common request from the engineering community was that an operator or maintenance person would never have to crawl under a double disc pump with a casting hanging overhead and the potential for sewage to leak over the operator. When you think about – why would anyone design a pump like that? Our answer is that you would have to ask the competitor because Wastecorp would not.

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.



Safety First

Changing the disc assembly on a Sludge Pro double disc pump is a simple process which can usually be done within 30 minutes-45 minutes. read more

Pump Station Case Study

Today’s Grease interceptor pumps have become more advanced. Commercial grease pump applications found in restaurants, hospitals, prisons, public works and theme parks must be designed with the latest controls, sensors and gauges. The reasoning here is so the pumps can handle the volume of waste grease that is generated in these applications including cafeterias, restaurants, vehicle maintenance bays and general operations. Dependable and quality pumps are critical to read more
