Pump Station Monitoring Resources

  1. Point Level vs. Continuous Level Measuring Technologies 5/14/2018

    While point level measuring approaches are regarded as simple and user-friendly, they lack the capabilities of more sophisticated continuous measuring instruments.

  2. New Jersey Town Sticks With A Winner 5/1/2018

    A northern New Jersey town decided to upgrade their main station utilizing the same equipment that has provided them with decades of reliable and trouble free service. When replacement options arose, the city immediately elected to stay with Flygt due to their positive experience with the quality and reliability of the equipment, combined with the availability of local service.

  3. Successful Trials With Flygt Adaptive Mixing Technology 4/2/2018

    Albion, MI, completed the update of several components of its four-MGD plant in the fall 2017. Afterwards, the plant superintendent became interested in testing the impact that optimizing his mixing might have on other aspects of his conventional activated sludge process with enhanced biological phosphorus removal. Read the full case study to learn how the test showed that there can be dramatic opportunities for right sizing mixer thrust, when the equipment is available to take advantage of it.

  4. Easy To Digest: H2S Removal Rids City Of Lift Station Odors 8/11/2017

    A constant problem in many wastewater collection systems is the formation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the lift stations as well as from biofilms further downstream in the delivery piping to the wastewater treatment plant. DO2E representatives suggested that the City of Taylorville (IL) use their proprietary digesters equipped with an ozone (O3) capability to remove this problem from our system.

  5. Clogs Draw a "Get Out of Jail Free" Card 2/13/2017

    Although by no means overwhelming, clogging problems in a county prison wastewater treatment system had simply become a nuisance, and it was time to take action with new technology to solve the problem. Read the full case study to learn more.

  6. No Compromise On Reliability: A WWTP Turns On A Dime 2/10/2017

    Once discovering its main pump station was at risk, a critical Canadian wastewater treatment plant quickly set up a large bypass pumping system to allow the replacement of pump motors.

  7. Big Savings Near The Big Easy 9/26/2016

    A progressive private utilities company in Louisiana was chomping at the bit to try new pump station technology that would eliminate clogs and unscheduled maintenance, all the while saving power.

  8. Chronic Clogging Bows To Groundbreaking Technology 9/26/2016

    The Suffolk County Department of Public Works Stony Brook Pump Station was facing on-going interruptions to pumping operations as a result of “ragging”—a common challenge in wastewater pumping where a build-up of fibrous materials leads to frequent pump blockages.

  9. Clogging Solution Is Crystal Clear In Crystal Lake 9/26/2016

    The city of Crystal Lake, IL, was able to parlay a longterm solid relationship with a major pump manufacturer into a clogging solution for one pump station, cost-saving standardization and reduced inventory across its remaining pump stations, and significant energy savings.

  10. Unique Technology Responds To Lift Station Woes 9/26/2016

    The City of Fond du Lac estimates energy savings at 20 percent at the Wild Life Acres lift station after installing the Concertor system. Bothersome, time-consuming, and expensive cleaning call outs have also been reduced, as confirmed by monitoring system tracking the lift station operation both before and after the introduction of Concertor.
