The patent pending Channel Monster FLEX consists of a FLEX Grinder and a Solids Diverter with perforated screen connected by a FLEX Frame. The Channel Monster FLEX continues the Channel Monster legacy of high flow capacity while capturing and shredding rags, rocks, wood, and other solids into small pieces to pass harmlessly through pumps, pipes, and process equipment.

The EC 531 is an all-in-one solution for control and monitoring of sewage pumping stations with one or two pumps. It offers straightforward control and monitoring via floats or advanced control via a continuous level signal. EC 531 is also equipped with smart VFD control including PID and Best Efficiency Point (BEP), which save energy, and equipment costs.

The AS range are robust, reliable submersible pumps from 1 to 3 kW for pumping wastewater and sewage from buildings and sites. The pumps have water pressure-tight, encapsulated, fully flood-proof motors in standard and explosion-proof versions.

Designed for pumping raw water, wastewater, and sewage from buildings and sites in both domestic and commercial areas. Free solids passage up to 65 mm. The pump and motor section form a pressure-tight encapsulated unit which is fully flood-proof.

The VUPX series of submersible propeller pumps are ideal for applications where large volumes of storm or process water have to be pumped to heads up to a maximum of 10 m. These compact pumps feature highly efficient three- or four-blade propellers with low NPSH characteristic and a space-saving design.

The highly efficient submersible sewage pump type ABS XFP range is designed for use in terminal and engineered pumping stations. With Premium Efficiency IE3 motors as standard and a versatile range of Contrablock plus impellers, the pumps vouch for highly efficient and reliable operation.

The XRCP is Sulzer’s premium range of recirculation pumps, specifically designed for efficient pumping and recirculation of activated sludge in the denitrification/nitrification process of a wastewater treatment plants. These compact and easy-to-handle pumps are equipped with Premium Efficiency motors and designed for large flows and low heads. Compared to conventional axial flow pumps, recirculation pumps do not require expensive structures in the tank, such as inflow chamber and a large rising pipe.

The RCP is Sulzer’s standard range of recirculation pumps, specifically designed for pumping and recirculation of activated sludge in the denitrification/nitrification process of a wastewater treatment plants. This compact and easy-to-handle pump is efficient and reliable. RCP pumps are designed for large flows and low heads between 0.1 and 1.8 m (4 to 71 in). Compared to conventional axial flow pumps, recirculation pumps do not require expensive structures in the tank, such as inflow chamber and a large rising pipe.

For the past 10 to 15 years, wastewater treatment operators have faced increased clogging issues related to baby wipes, disposable diapers, rags, and other foreign debris. At the same time, the use of low-flow toilets has increased the solids concentration of sewage flow. This discussion with Brad Jernigan and Christina Foster from Pentair addresses differences between how grinder pumps (low flow/high head) and chopper pumps (higher flow/lower head) can benefit that situation. They also compare the advantages of how axial-cutter design vs. radial-cutter design can aid in shredding large debris, bit by bit, without sucking it into the body of the pump where it can clog and shut down the unit.

Many water and wastewater treatment plant operators have a desire to ‘see’ and manage key systems beyond the reach of their plant walls and in-house SCADA systems, such as wastewater lift pumps or water distribution pumps. In this Water Talk session, Dave Stout and Ryan Hancock of In Control Technical Solutions discuss an answer that’s as simple as connecting a power cord and two wires. It employs a self-contained cellular modem that any utility can self-install — at a fraction of the cost for traditional remote cellular solutions — and use to monitor remote resources as part of their main SCADA system.

Control gates are used throughout the water and wastewater fluid handling process at pump stations, head works, purifiers and a variety of other locations. Beyond application, head pressure, solids content and placement are all critical factors in evaluating what type of control gate will best meet your needs.

There’s a new wastewater pump in town. Launched at WEFTEC 2016, the Flygt Concerter integrates control panel intelligence inside the pump. Lisa Riles, North America Flygt Product Manager with Xylem, sat down with Water Online Radio at the show to discuss how the new pump works.

San Francisco has embarked upon a $6.9-billion, 20-year initiative to completely renovate the sewer system. That includes the pipelines, the pump stations, and the treatment plants of the system.

Flat topography, low elevation, and high rainfall conspire to make collection and treatment a hassle in Jefferson Parish, LA, requiring more than 500 lift stations to get the job done. Learn how a new wastewater pumping system virtually eliminated maintenance and reduced energy consumption by as much as 75%.
