Wastewater collection systems continue to face increasing challenges from wipes, rags, fibrous materials, fats, oils, grease (FOG), and other difficult solids that contribute to pump clogging and reduced system reliability. Selecting the appropriate hydraulic design for each application is critical to maintaining efficient operation and minimizing maintenance.
In this webinar, attendees will explore Tsurumi's AVANT Series of FM-certified wastewater pumps and mixers, including the MQ, MY, and MMR product lines. Experts will discuss the operating principles and ideal applications for open channel, vortex, chopper, and grinder hydraulics, along with the role of submersible mixers in controlling FOG accumulation and improving lift station performance. Participants will gain practical guidance for matching pump technology to specific wastewater challenges to maximize uptime and long-term reliability.
