51. Advanced Wastewater Pumps Will Pay Dividends In Energy Savings For City Of Andalusia, Alabama 9/26/2011

    The sewer utility for the City of Andalusia, AL, was in line to receive stimulus funds for energy-related conservation projects, but the proposed use for replacing aging pumps at two lift stations along the municipal sewage collection system had to be fully demonstrated to be eligible. The prerequisite for eligibility required at least 30 days of documented monitoring to substantiate a guaranteed 25% reduction in electrical consumption.

52. X-PELLER Eliminates Hand Wipe Clogs With Ease 1/19/2011

    Designed to bring practicality and ease to daily, personal sanitary needs, increasingly durable disposable hand wipes have been making a mess with wastewater pump stations. By Smith & Loveless, Inc.

53. Case Study: Vortex Wastewater Pumps 12/28/2010
    Vortex pumps are primary sewerage pumps used to transport are sewerage through the wastewater treatment plant process. Because these pumps are required to handle the raw sewerage including grit and associated storm water runoff debris the abrasion rate is quite high. In this plant the pumps were lasting less than 1 year before severe abrasion caused reduction in tolerances leading to re-circulation. As the sewerage was no longer being efficiently transported to treatment the plants capacity was effectively reduced. Plant was considering replacement after 1 year a t a cost of $8,500.00.

55. Case Study: Lift Station Pump Sealing 12/28/2010
    Lift stations or pumping stations supply wastewater to treatment plants. They are remote from the plant and are critical to the operation that many redundancies are built into each lift station to ensure they remain in operation, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. These stations must be extremely reliable because the gravity flow coming into the lift station cannot be turned off.
56. Expanded Use Of Split Seal Technology For Large Pumps And Agitators 12/28/2010
    New advances in split mechanical seals have expanded its application for use in both water and wastewater systems. These systems move vast amounts of fluid through pipes and tanks. Water-based fluid systems comprise the largest fluid transport systems in the world with wastewater streams being the largest. While the systems’ designs can vary by region, most use centrifugal pumps to move fluid. Many of the centrifugal pumps are very large and difficult to assemble, so they have not typically been sealed by mechanical seals which require total equipment disassembly. However, split mechanical seals have advanced so that these pumps can now be sealed without equipment disassembly.

58. JWC's Honey Monster Helps Big Fish Environmental Find Clean Water 8/2/2010

    For several years, local Michigan municipalities were overloaded with septage disposal issues and it was difficult for private pumpers to offload as land-application of septage became illegal. So John Campbell, founder of Big Fish Environmental and a 29-year veteran of septic tank pumping, started developing a unique and efficient septage receiving and treatment plant design.

59. Lift Stations: Attacking The 'New Sewage' With Vaughan Chopper Pumps 3/29/2010

    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.
