The decades old wastewater treatment facility recently underwent a massive upgrade to improve their pumping operations with new sludge pumping equipment and control panels to manage a growing community and the harsh winter weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with the end users and local contractors, <a href=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\">Wastecorp<\/a> designed, manufactured and installed a next generation <a href=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/Products\/PE-Series-Plunger-Pumps\/PE111-1141-11-Inch-Simplex-Plunger-Pump\">Sludge Master PE 1141<\/a> dual ball valve plunger pump. The facility selected a guided stuffing box assembly to help reduce wear on the plunger and pump packing. The dual ball valve configuration helps to manage higher than average solids concentrations of above 10%. The PE-1141 comes equipped with graphite flax packing and a u-cup ring to improve leak reduction and sludge pumping performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Sewage-pump-ny-24.jpg\" alt=\"A new municipal sewage pump for primary sludge pumping operations.\" class=\"wp-image-3369\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Sewage-pump-ny-24.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Sewage-pump-ny-24-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Sewage-pump-ny-24-768x509.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The suction and discharge gauges provide on demand pump pressure information to help detect a blockage or closed valve in the system.
