Wastewater sludge demands a tough pump. It is thick, viscous, and often contains solids that can cause clogs and wear to the pump. Gorman-Rupp pumps are designed to handle these challenges and are made of abrasion-resistant materials that can withstand sludge’s abrasive and corrosive nature.

Success Story in Virginia

After 30 years of reliable service with the Gorman-Rupp 10-Series pump, a Virginia treatment plant recently upgraded to the Super T-Series™ with hardened wear parts to handle increased abrasive solids. The Super T-Series™ pump is a centrifugal pump specifically designed and built to handle the challenges of pumping sludge.
