After water has served its many uses, it needs to be collected, transported, treated and returned to the environment. Wastewater can be difficult to transport and manage, with large amounts of organic solids, rags and other stringy materials that often clog pumping systems.

Submersible wet pit, submersible dry pit and dry installed end-suction pumps, submersible mixers, hydroejectors and progressive cavity pumps
