When you think of waste, you may focus on utilizing or obtaining unnecessary material items, or you could think about leftover food, sewage or water that runs down the drain or waste pipe. All of these examples would be accurate when it comes to describing a wastewater pump.
Simply put, a wastewater pump is responsible for transporting contaminated water, liquids, solid particles and organic or inorganic materials.
Let’s dive deeper into this subject, though…
What is a Wastewater Pump Used For?
Most industrial companies and factories have a need for a wastewater pump. Typical industries, such as mining, water extraction firms, food processing plants, sugar and metal industries and construction outlets typically need to dispose of and transport waste to another location through a wastewater pump.
There are major differences between industrial wastewater pumps and municipal wastewater pumps. In most cases, municipal wastewater pumps carry raw sewage and wastewater, whereas industrial waste water pumps are more likely to transport raw food, activated chemicals, digested materials and even storm water or sludge.
Choosing the Right Wastewater Pump
The decision to install or purchase a new wastewater pump is one that should be considered carefully. First, determine the ultimate plan and use for the pump and then consult with the experts at Miami Pump & Supply to make the best choice to suit your needs. Wastewater pump designs vary and include models with either a wet well or dry installation.
Ask yourself, do I need my wastewater pump to be installed as a submersible motor pump for water-filled areas or do I need a horizontal or vertical pump? There’s also the option to choose a clean water pump for industrial use.
Looking at the components of the wastewater pump is also helpful as it’s crucial to transport and discard waste in the most effective manner. There are several different types of impellers used, depending primarily on the fluid that will be transported. The choices include:
- Free-Flow Impellers, commonly found on a Torque Flow Pump
- Channel Impellers with One to Three Channels that are either open or closed
- Open-Single Channel and Diagonal Impeller
