Ragazzini – The Most Effective Food Waste Sludge Pump
Moving food waste sludge can be a difficult proposition for pumps. It can be thick and corrosive, and is definitely only a job for the right pump. As the waste liquid gets thicker, it becomes much less efficient to use a centrifugal pump, but the right pump is an ideal solution. Italian made Ragazzini brand hose pumps can move thick slurry comfortably when sized correctly with the right tubular element.

How To Reduce High Ammonia In Wastewater Treatment
Higher than anticipated ammonia levels at this WWTP, due to higher than anticipated organic loadings on the system was a problem that needed to be resolved.
Ammonia from the DC influent to the primary septic tank ranged between 55 mg/L and 85 mg/L depending on the time of year. It was discovered that the water going into the trickling filter was also void of DO, low in pH, and had ammonia two to three times higher than the design loadings of 25-30 mg/L.

How To Reduce DAF Pump Capital, Energy and Maintenance Costs
A single Multiphase “DAF Pump” is capable of replacing the entire air bubble system on DAF (Dissolved Air Floatation) plants, using EDUR Multiphase pumps supplied by Hydro Innovations. Their Edur® “Multiphase” pumps draw in air through a “snorkel” in the suction line, sheer the air, then feed it into the DAF plant. This produces a discharge stream into the tank that is saturated with 30 to 50 micron air bubbles.
