Flygt Articles, Case Studies, Product and Press Releases

1. Modern Clog-Free Wastewater Pumping Solution 8/13/2024

   Wastewater utilities need a modern solids-handling pumping solution. They need pumps that can automatically dislodge clogs, self-clean, and temporarily adjust inlet openings to accommodate larger or more difficult debris.

2. Charting Your Course To BABA Compliance 6/20/2024

   Xylem and Flygt are here to help you navigate the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act with confidence.

3. COVID-19 Modern Trash Loading Proves Sewage Pump Clog Resistance Cannot Be Predicted By Impeller Throughlet Size 9/21/2021

   The ever-increasing collection system loading rate exacerbated by the effects of COVID-19 further exposes the traditional multi-channel solids-handling impeller as unable to operate without partial to full clogging with soft solids. 

4. Upgrade Pump Systems By Reutilizing Existing Plant Infrastructure 5/20/2021

   Bill Skovsted, national sales manager — custom pump for Flygt, discusses how you can take your budget further by reutilizing your existing plant infrastructure at the Water Online Virtual Water Expo.

5. Significant Upgrades Enable City Of Atherton To Meet State's DNR Discharge Requirements 2/14/2020

   Built in the 1980s, Little Blue Valley Sewer District operates Atherton, which was designed to reduce the primary process chain to preliminary bar screening and aerated grit removal, while relying solely on secondary treatment performed in four, standalone 42-ft by 400-ft aeration/clarification basins.

6. Advanced Technologies Stop Plant Bypasses 2/14/2020

   Hoping to avoid bypassing 1.6 million gallons of raw sewage into nearby streams, Thief River Falls relied on Flygt pumps “N” technology to maintain consistent flow path through the pump.

7. New Generation Pump Clears Clogs At City's Lift Station 2/14/2020

   Frequent clogs forced Waupaca’s Public Works Department to be dispatched on a 24-7 basis. The Flygt N-pump helped improve efficiency and ease blockages.

8. Submersible Mixer With Variable Thrust Reduces Energy Costs By As Much As 50% Or More 2/14/2020

   Mixing is performed in many stages of wastewater treatment to generate a hydrodynamic state that secures blending, solids suspension, or distribution. Conventional single-speed submersible mixers have traditionally been used for these applications, including activated sludge treatment, sludge holding and digestion.

9. Integrated Intelligence: A Breakthrough In Wastewater Pumping 2/14/2020

   Today’s customers can have higher pump system reliability, more and smarter functions, lower operating costs and data connectivity when pumping wastewater using an intelligent pumping system.

10. Adaptive N-Impeller Solves Clogging Issues For Small-Range Wastewater Pumps 2/14/2020

    Clogging is the most common problem in wastewater pumping and a particular issue for small pumps due to their limited hydraulic space. The consequences include increased energy consumption, additional maintenance and emergency call-outs, all of which result in higher operating costs. Wastewater pump manufacturers are continually striving to develop improved hydraulics that reduce clogging while maintaining high performance.
