Parts of Coney Island Wastewater treatment plant &#8211;\u00a0 located in the Southwestern part of Brooklyn, New York, suffered severe damage during heavy rainfall and flooding events.\u00a0 The aftermath of such storms is particularly devastating to public wastewater treatment facilities because it can take months and in many cases several years to obtain engineering approvals and funding to repair the damage.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1552\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1552\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/Products\/Electric-Diaphragm-Pumps\/2B-EC-2-Inch-Pro-Series-Electric-Diaphragm-Pump\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1552 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/diaphragm-pump-installation-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Diaphragm Pump Installation\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/diaphragm-pump-installation-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wastecorp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/diaphragm-pump-installation.jpg 355w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1552\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diaphragm Pump Installation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This was just the case for Coney Island\u2019s condensate vacuum pump operations located less than one hundred feet from an inland waterway that flows into the Atlantic Ocean.

These pumps feature a very simple operating principle, but make no mistake; they are designed to pump the tough stuff. The facility selected a 2\u201d connection but all Mud Sucker 2B Series can be coupled down to 1 \u00bd\u201d connections.\u00a0 \u00a0The 2B can pump up to 20 GPM with 20\u2019 of vertical suction lift and up to 50\u2019 of vertical discharge head. These Mud Suckers can pump up to 22 psi of pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Coney Island also installed new control panels to maximize energy efficiency and productivity out of their new Mud Sucker pumps. \u00a0While inclimate weather and natural disasters are difficult to predict, it is nice to know that a pump manufacturer with the expertise to help plan a project from initial engineering specs right through the lifecycle is available to WWTP\u2019s of all sizes.
