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.

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.

Vacuum Primed Pump Stations Vs. Self-Priming Pumping Stations
11/27/2019
Both Smith & Loveless Vacuum Primed Pump Stations and competing self-priming stations are able to prime themselves by pulling water into the pump volute. However, the vacuum prime design of S&L EVERLAST™ Wet Well Mounted Pump Stations and Recessed Wet Well Mounted Pump Stations offer better performance, maintainability and reliability compared to self-priming competitors. Click to read some of the reasons why the Smith & Loveless pump station and its vacuum prime pump are superior.

Hurricane Harvey Was No Match For These Pumps
8/28/2019
The main lift station serving the waste water treatment plant in Morgan’s Point, Texas, continually experienced problems with its three standard non-clog pumps. The pumps frequently clogged when rainfall totals reached or exceeded 2 inches. Shop rags, pieces of 2 x 4 lumber, plastic bottles, gloves, and wet wipes all commonly clogged the pumps when the standard demand increased. Pump removal, unplugging, and recurring repairs were required, but the service company was not always available for immediate assistance, causing problems for residents serviced by this lift station.

Award-Winning Design Helps WWTP Protect Chesapeake Bay Watershed
9/26/2018
Arlington County’s Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) in South Arlington, VA, is located on 35 acres of land squeezed into a commercial/residential neighborhood less than a mile west of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The facility treats flows from nearly all of Arlington. In addition, nearly 20 percent of the plant’s flow comes from neighboring localities such as Alexandria, Fairfax County, and Falls Church. Effluent from the plant is discharged into Four Mile Run to the south, which feeds into the Potomac River and, ultimately, the Chesapeake Bay.
