When the going gets tough, turn to the toughest pump on the planet: the Vaughan Chopper Pump. It is a centrifugal pump equipped with a durable cutting system that lets systems handle substantial solids while avoiding clogs and wear to downstream components. This chopper pump was built first and made to last.

SOURCE & DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

Pre-Rinsed Vessel Swaps And Packaged Skids Simplify PFAS Treatment For Small Well Sites

Small well sites face unique challenges in meeting new PFAS standards. Solutions emphasize simplicity and speed, with pre-rinsed vessel swaps and modular, packaged systems reducing downtime and complexity for resource-limited utilities.

 

Dosing Of Sodium Hypochlorite Solution For Drinking Water Disinfection

A water purveyor was in urgent need of a chemically resistant flow instrumentation with a long life of service that allowed reliable and long-term stable dosing of the sodium hypochlorite solution.

Recording & Control: In Coagulant Dosage Applications For Potable Water Treatment

Potable water or drinking water as it is also known, is water that is safe to drink or to be used in food preparation. Typically, in developed countries, tap water meets the required drinking water standards, although only a small proportion is actually drunk or used in food preparation.

Protecting Our Water — Keep Chemicals In The Tank

Leaking or overfilled tanks can cause environmental problems, contaminate drinking water, and cost a company millions of dollars. Proper instrumentation, monitoring, and control can prevent these problems.

Maximizing Solids-Handling Performance Of Municipal, Commercial, And Industrial Pumps

The rise in the use of disposable wipes and other non-dispersible debris is driving the need for more efficient handling of solids in pumps at municipal lift stations and wastewater treatment plant headworks.

 

Lift Stations: Attacking The 'New Sewage' With Vaughan Chopper Pumps

Disposable, throw-away products are making raw sewage pumping tougher than ever. The Jefferson Street Pump Station at the City of Centralia, WA, had a problem demanding a cost-effective solution.

Restrained Pipeline Design And Horizontal Bends

In the last forty years, a quiet revolution has occurred in our industry. This revolution is the result of new generations of joint restraint products that make it possible to quickly and safely restrain fittings at bends, dead ends, tees, valves, and reducers without the need for concrete thrust blocks or tie rods.

Pump Cavitation And How To Avoid It

Cavitation is not a new phenomenon that can impact a pump system, but it is an issue that is growing. While no official figures exist, it is not misleading to say that in the last five years, cases of pump cavitation have increased markedly.

Keeping Wastewater Facilities Running During A Power Outage

Power outages aren’t just a headache for wastewater treatment plants — they’re a direct threat to operations, compliance, and public health.

 

Moving Toward Sustainability: Perfecting Wastewater Pretreatment For Direct Potable Reuse

This article will explain why pretreatment is so important to direct potable reuse and the most important aspects of pretreatment design.

Adaptability Comes To A Head With Wastewater Screening Technology

Adaptable bar screens can automatically adjust their raking speed and screen openings based on flow rates, to take advantage of the finest screening possible in any flow condition.

Minimizing Aerated Wastewater Treatment System Servicing

Reliability is especially important in the wastewater treatment sector. One is that the blowers have to dependably operate in conditions that are often very harsh.
