  The purpose of this blog is to inform our customers on how to properly educate their clients about storm water and drainage systems.  There is no substitute for doing good business with others, and teaching them how to do the right thing for their prosperity and success.   Managing Storm Water Maintaining and improving the cleanliness of the many beautiful streams, rivers, lakes and ponds in our surroundings is the responsibility of every citizen. You may not think about it often, but waste material, both liquid and solid, left on the ground can be washed away with rain water into our network of storm sewers and ultimately be deposited in nearby natural bodies of water. This network of rivers, streams and ponds are a dynamic, interconnected system and materials can end up a long way from where they were first discarded. When these liquid and solid waste materials are deposited untreated in natural waterways, they can have a profound affect on the aquatic life and a...

Masport Vacuum Pumps INTENDED USE  Masport Vacuum / Pressure Pumps are intended to be used for loading and unloading ofliquid material. These pumps are commonly used for liquid waste transport, septic tankcleaning, oil field service work, car wash or grease trap cleaning and many otherindustrial applications. PRIMARY SHUT-OFF: Prevents liquid in the tank from overflowing into the system and entering the pump. Liquid entering the pump can damage or destroy the pump.  SECONDARY MOISTURE TRAP (SCRUBBER): Removes liquid still in the air stream after passing through the primary shut-off. The Scrubber should be drained after every load.  VACUUM/PRESSURE GAUGE: Required to properly monitor the performance of the system. It should be located between the Scrubber and the Pump (the clean side of the pump) to prevent gauge failure due to foreign material.  VACUUM RELIEF VALVE: Governs the operating vacuum level. It should be installed at the ...

Vacuum Trucks What are They and How Do They Work? | Coleman Vacuum Systems

Vacuum Trucks What are They and How Do They Work? Vacuum pump trucks are by definition vacuum tanks that are truck mounted or vac trailer mounted coupled with a high velocity vacuum pump that hydraulically load wet and dry material via vacuum hoses.  A rotary vacuum pump  is driven by a PTO mounted on the truck that sucks up either wet or dry material. The material is then transported and is either pumped out or the tank is opened for dumping. The vacuum unit is truck mounted or trailer mounted on either a single axle or quad axle. Some units feature positive displacement blowers that operate in extreme weather conditions including temperatures as low as -35°F. Vac truck manufacturers offer accessories such as core drills, water jetters or air compressors at the time of purchase or afterwards. A liquid vacuum truck’s primary purpose is to transfer liquid and sludge waste to waste disposal companies.  Applications: They are typically conf...

Inspecting A Vacuum Tank | Coleman Vacuum Systems

Inspecting A Vacuum Tank Vacuum tanks are subject to significant stress as you load and unload wastewater every day. Constant changes in pressure and vacuum, combined with the sludge, grit and other foreign objects passing through the valves, can weaken many points in the tank.  Therefore, it’s important to clean out the tank regularly, and go beyond your quick daily visual inspection. Here’s A step-by-step approach to a thorough vacuum tank inspection: To get started, check vacuum gauges to verify all the stored energy has been released. This means there is no pressure or vacuum stored in the tank. Be sure to put the pump into neutral to dump vacuum or pressure . You can also open the load valve to equalize the pressure and release stored energy. Before opening the man-ways, check tank gauges to be sure the tank is not under pressure or vacuum. Serious injury or death can result if this precaution is not taken. While most man-ways are operated manually, there are a ...

A vacuum truck or vacuum tanker is a tank truck that has a pump and a tank. The pump is designed to pneumatically suck liquids, sludges, slurries, or the like from a location (often underground) into the tank of the truck. The objective is to enable transport of the liquid material via road to another location. Vacuum trucks transport the collected material to a treatment or disposal site, for example a sewage treatment plant.A common material to be transport is septage (or more broadly: fecal sludge) which is human excreta mixed with water, e.g. from septic tanks and pit latrines). They also transport sewage sludge, industrial liquids, or slurries from animal waste from livestock facilities with pens.Vacuum trucks can be equipped with a high pressure pump if they are used to clean out sewers from sand. Pumps They generally use a low-volume  sliding vane pump  or a  liquid ring pump  to create a  negative air pressure . [1]  The use of  di...
