ASAHI/AMERICA HDPE DISTRIBUTION HEADERS
Asahi/America offers HDPE manifolds that can be prefabricated to maximize quality control, system accuracy and speed-of-installation. From water distribution to chemical dosing, custom HDPE manifolds have been installed as an alternative to stainless steel or PVC, given the robust material benefits HDPE can provide. HDPE material costs, including pipe and molded fittings, are less expensive than stainless steel, lightweight and corrosion resistant. HDPE is thermally fused providing leak-free joints that are as strong or stronger than the pipe itself. In addition, HDPE is NSF-61 certified, making it safe for potable drinking water applications and resistant to microbial contamination. HDPE offers similar or better chemical compatibility to stainless steel or PVC. Ideal applications include water filtration, water distribution, wastewater treatment, waste treatment, potable water, and chemical dosing. Asahi/America offers main pipe sizes 4 to 12 inches and outlets 1 to 4 inches IPS. Custom sizing is also available. 800-343-3618; www.asahi-america.com

All pumping, mechanical and electrical components are above the wet well with immediate access at ground level. This means that the STAR ONE Non-Clog Pumps reside at ground level out of the sewage and always dry. Likewise, all the valves, piping and controls reside also above the wet well, meaning that inspection of the entire pump station can be accomplished in seconds by simply opening the hooded enclosure. 800-898-9122; www.smithandloveless.com
THOMPSON PUMP AND MANUFACTURING 4JSC
Thompson Pump and Manufacturing’s 4JSC series pumps provide a method for backing up wastewater lift stations. These high-efficiency, solids-handling bypass pumps are customized to provide automatic bypass pumping during any emergency event. They can be permanently installed at municipal lift stations, in lieu of a diesel generator, to provide 100% redundancy to the primary, electric-powered pumps. With a wide range of flow and pressure capabilities, it can be a solution for lift stations that experience inflow and infiltration or need maintenance. These pumps incorporate the Enviroprime System, allowing them to prime automatically from a dry state and do so by evacuating only air from the suction piping. This priming system prevents any wastewater from exiting the pump while operating. In addition, it will operate intermittently, allowing the pump to start only when needed, resulting in lower fuel consumption, less onsite fuel storage required, and reduced operating costs. 800-767-7310; www.thompsonpump.com
VAUGHAN CHOPPER PUMP
Self-priming Chopper Pumps from Vaughan are designed to be easily accessed outside of the wet well while pumping waste solids at heavy consistencies, without plugging or dewatering of the solids.
