About Sewage Pumps

Sewage pumps are used to pump effluents, semi-solids, and small solids in a variety of commercial, industrial, maritime, municipal, and wastewater treatment applications. These rugged, heavy-duty devices are typically made of durable materials such as stainless steel. Agitator pumps deliver kinetic energy to slurry solids surrounding the pump intake, re-suspending them in a fluid state. Centrifugal pumps apply centrifugal force to generate velocity, use rotating impellers to increase velocity, and push fluids through an outlet valve. Grinder pumps shred solids, macerator pumps empty holding tanks of sewage, and sump pumps remove unwanted water that threatens to encroach on living or equipment space. Lift stations consist of pumps, valves and electrical equipment necessary to pump water or wastewater. 


Products & Services Related to Sewage Pumps
Booster Pumps
Booster pumps are used in applications where the normal system pressure is low and needs to be increased.
Condensate Pumps
Condensate pumps are used to collect and transport condensate back into a steam system for reheating and reuse, or to remove unwanted condensate from an HVAC or appliance collection pan.
Diaphragm Pumps
Diaphragm pumps use a diaphragm that moves back and forth to transport liquids from one place to another.
Drum Pumps
Drum pumps are used to transfer materials from a container into a process or other container. They may be electrically, hydraulically, or pneumatically powered depending on the working environment or application.
Industrial Liquid Handling Pumps
Industrial liquid handling pumps are classified in many different ways, and are distinguished by the media pumped and the fluid motive mechanism (dynamic or displacement).
Metering Pumps
Metering pumps are precision pumps, which dispense an exact amount of material. They are used in a variety of chemical dosing and metering applications.
Screw Pumps
Screw pumps are rotary, positive displacement pumps that have one or more screws to transfer fluids or materials along an axis.
