Emergency Management Pump Systems

Disasters like oil spills, floods, hurricanes and overflowing sewers can happen at any time, that’s why Wastecorp has launched the new MS-HW-Recovery™, a new pump out plus fresh water distribution system. Government disaster management agencies and contractors can now contain waste water, slurry, oil and provide wash down services with one unit.

“The Wastecorp MS-HW-Recovery is helping contractors and disaster management agencies all along the Gulf Coast to clean up after the oil spill with an all-in-one pump out /water distribution solution,” said Dan Starr, Wastecorp Pumps Marketing and Communications Director. “When you can pump out waste oil and provide fresh water wash down services with one unit, the clean up effort can move more quickly.”

MS-HW-Recovery pumps are targeted at emergency management agencies, city environmental protection agencies, municipalities, commercial contractors and businesses seeking a professional waste collection system with water distribution services. Since customers’ pumping and specification needs are different, the MS-HW-Recovery is available in a variety of configurations, tank materials of construction and pump options.

Diaphragm Pump - Trailer Mounted

Diaphragm Pump - Trailer Mounted

Wastecorp didn’t invent the diaphragm pump but when we introduced the Mud Sucker diaphragm pump product line almost 17 years ago we set out to innovate and radically transform how customers transfer fluids. One of our first Mud Sucker models, the 4BW-MDD Series is a walking beam style pump that uses a heavy duty piston motion to move heavier slurries found in coal mine, pulp and paper and municipal sewage applications. What makes this pump so special is its ability to transfer heavy solids with a choice of Siemens gear box and motor, gas or diesel engine (Yanmar diesel model shown).

Driving the Conversation in The Diaphragm Pump Business

The variety of pumping applications we see from the field grows everyday; From biodiesel production, bauxite, sugar refining to refineries and waste water treatment. And, each of these applications gets improved pumping performance with different components designed for specific applications. With Wastecorp’s flex-production floor, pump models like the 4BW-MDD can get stainless steel valve seats for customers who move corrosive fluids or FDA compliant internal coatings for customers in the food processing industry.

How to plan a marina pump out

Marina Pump Outs

When it comes time to plan a new marina pump out system, many customers understandably find it challenging to know where to begin. Some have an idea of what kind of pump they need but aren’t sure about how to configure the pumps and piping. Throw in other elements like pumping up on an incline and it can get really tough. John S. operates a marina in Washington State and he posted the following question in our forum:

Q: “I need to outfit our 200 slip marina with new pump stations with one larger pump to feed the sewage up a 100 ft. hill at approx. a 6 degree slope. The problem is that our slips are spread out without a consistent layout. What kind of pump system do you recommend?” Read more…

Pumping sewage for a city of over eight million people can be a challenging task and that’s exactly what the City of New York and surrounding communities like Westchester County must contend with.  Wastecorp recently completed a plunger pump sludge moving project for the Ossining Waste Water Treatment Plant; a facility located about 30 miles from Manhattan and within walking distance to Sing Sing Correctional facility.  Wastecorp’s plunger pumps were approved by Stearns and Wheler Consulting Engineers. Mace Contracting completed the installation. See  video

Ossining replaced two existing plunger pumps with next generation Wastecorp Plunger Pumps HPE Series -triplex model HPE 1142. The pumps are designed to transfer thickened sludge to loading trucks that haul it away for sanitary treatment.  The pumps feature heavy duty 11” plungers with a guided stuffing box system to reduce wear on the packing, plungers and connecting rods read more about the guided stuffing box system.
