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
Trash Pumps: Selecting The Right Pump
When looking for a trash pump for your rental, municipal, industrial or mining pump application, you will likely encounter dozens of manufacturers out there. The pump industry is certainly not short on selection. But here’s what you should know: sizing the right pump for your application can not only help you get the right pump, but may also prevent premature pump wear and maintenance down the road.
Wastecorp’s engine driven trash pumps take into account, the variety of needs in the trash pump marketplace. First, Wastecorp has divided the category into
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
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
Industrial Wastewater Pumps – Case Study
Industrial companies looking to responsibly transfer waste oil and wastewater have found success with Wastecorp’s Mud Sucker 2FA Series diaphragm pumps. This
Pumps: How to Maintain a Continuous Flow and Minimize Pulsation
With pumping applications, one of the challenges you face especially when pumping thinner liquids, is to maintain continuous flow without “jerking the hose” or disruptions in pump productivity. One of the consulting engineering firms we have worked with in California illustrates this point well:
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.
The details of the project called on the requirement of pumps to transfer ground up seafood shells, grease trap waste, utensils, animal renderings, wastewater and more. In this application, the waste is unloaded from a tanker into a waste pit. The waste is then transferred to a conveyor system which then separates most of the foreign objects like utensils, large solids, plastic bags and more. The remaining waste is sent through the Sludge Master plunger pump and then to the digesters of the wastewater treatment plant. With millions of people visiting Orlando resorts and theme parks every year, this amounts to a lot of waste, as tanker trucks deliver new loads of slurry like liquid waste around the clock.
Working with Wastecorp, the company decided on a Sludge Master PE 942 with a 20 hp motor and mechanical force feed oile
Primary Sludge Pumps at a WWTP
Primary sludge pumps are typically used in municipal Wastewater treatment facilities to transfer digested sewage and sludge. This is a broad pump category that encompasses positive displacement pumps to pump sludge in ranges usually up to about 500 GPM. The choices of pumps vary from double diaphragm pumps, plunger pumps, double disc pumps, rotary lobe pumps, progressive cavity pumps and more.
In todays pump marketplace, there are generally two schools that operators and consulting engineers follow when specifying primary sludge pumps. The first option is to install a more robust pump model with features like ball check technology to manage varying solids percentages or abrasive solids. These pumps typically cost a bit more to begin, but the spare parts costs are much lower down the road. Examples of such pumps are plunger pumps, double diaphragm pumps and double disc pumps.
Food Waste Pumps – Food Processing Facilities
The challenge for food waste processors is finding pumps for their applications that are versatile and robust enough to pump through a variety of conditions. This was just the case for a Fresno, California based
alternative energy company who earned a multi-year contract to accept expired and spoiled canned tomato paste, tomato sauce, fruit juice, ketchup and bulk tomatoes for Fresno and Bakersfield area grocery stores, prisons, hospitals, food preparation companies and more.
