Application Type | Typical Flow Range | Recommended Pump Types | Key Considerations | Installation Type |
---|---|---|---|---|
Municipal Lift Stations | 200-2,000 GPM | Submersible sewage ejector, Dry-pit centrifugal | Redundancy, efficiency, remote monitoring | Wet well or dry pit |
Treatment Plants | 500-10,000+ GPM | Dry-pit centrifugal, Vertical turbine | High efficiency, continuous duty, maintenance access | Dry pit preferred |
Food Processing | 50-500 GPM | Chopper pumps, Grinder pumps | Solids handling, washdown capability, hygiene | Wet well typical |
Chemical Plants | 100-1,000 GPM | Chemical-resistant materials, Specialty pumps | Corrosion resistance, safety, containment | Varies by process |
Commercial Buildings | 25-200 GPM | Submersible sewage ejector, Grinder pumps | Quiet operation, reliability, space constraints | Basement wet well |
Residential Systems | 10-50 GPM | Grinder pumps, Effluent pumps | Low maintenance, quiet, cost-effective | Small wet well |
Every application has unique requirements. Our engineering team provides expert consultation to select the optimal pumping solution for your specific application, ensuring reliable operation and cost-effective performance.
