The Problem With Pumping Sewage & Wastewater

The most common issues are wastewater system pumps being clogged by flushable wipes, baby wipes, and feminine products.

Dealing with a clogged pump or pipe is never fun. When the blockages involve sewage and other forms of hazardous waste, routine cleaning chores can become a health hazard. Keeping sewage pump stations and treatment plants running smoothly not only saves money, but it also results in higher job satisfaction among the maintenance team, in addition, to help keep the city running smoothly.

It’s not just the unusually large size of solids that make sewage pumping and wastewater treatment handling so challenging. The nature of the solids in question also plays a role in the likelihood of the formation of clogs. Sewage from toilet facilities is particularly likely to form clogs due to the use of toilet paper and flushable wipe and feminine products. While most toilet papers break down by the time the material reaches a sewage pump, flushable wipes tend to clump together due to their long, thin shape and tough fibrous texture.

Combine these easy to snag solids with malleable mixtures that act like clay when caught against another item and you can easily understand why sewage pumps can bind up so quickly and completely. Even with care, many sewage pumping stations find themselves replacing their primary pumps annually or even every few months due to the intense amounts of wear and tear on the equipment. If the pumps manage to run for a few years without replacement, it’s usually due to extensive cleaning routines that involve many hours of extra labor per month. Chopper pumps are ideal for sewage processing applications because the internal chopping mechanism breaks up large solids before they reach the pump.

Commercial Sewage Applications

The majority of sewage pumps are installed at wastewater treatment plants and similar facilities, but they have many other uses. Large facilities like hotels, campgrounds, and amusement parks often rely on these cast iron sewage pumps to move sewage to a distant holding tank or far-off sewer connection point. Cast iron sewage pumps with a motor are also used to transfer untreated raw sewage from a catch tank to either the septic system or directly to the city sewer.

Any bathroom facility located below the sewage connection or septic tank will require some kind of powerful cast iron pump connected to a motor to lift the slurry to its intended destination (sump pumps also work). Receiving stations that handle deliveries from septic tanks and portable toilet trucks also need these sewage pumps to distribute the raw sewage to the various storage or processing areas.

These sewage pumps are also required for other types of effluent and sewage that aren’t generated by human or residential sources. The same well designed cast iron slurry pumps used for bathroom facilities work well for moving valuable manure slurries around, water which often features solids even larger and more challenging to pump than those commonly found in sewage water.

Manure processing can yield valuable fertilizer products while protecting local waterways from toxic runoff water, but only if the treatment facility has the right slurry pumps for separating and moving the various raw materials. The extensive line of pumping products also includes sump pumps, which are known for their reliability, efficiency, and versatility in various water and wastewater removal scenarios.
