We Walk the Walk
Pumping Services is an environmental company in more ways than one. We are committed to minimizing the environmental impact of our business and promoting environmentally friendly technology which benefits our customers and our community.
Therefore it is with great pleasure that we are announcing the completion of a 195.795 kW photovoltaic solar installation on the roof of our facility. This installation will provide more than 70% of our electric needs and is a concrete symbol of our commitment to a better planet.
Pumping Services worked with Solar Energy is Power, Inc. from East Stroudsburg, PA to complete this project which utilized 687 285-Watt solar panels and 21 inverters. We anticipate that this project will continue to produce environmentally friendly power for more than 25 years.

Headworks Introduces the ScrewpactorHD
Headworks® is proud to announce the addition of its heavy-duty shafted spiral compactor to its line of screens and screenings handling equipment, the ScrewpactorHD™.
For over 15 years, Headworks has constantly worked on continuously improving its standard Screwpactor™, used in the wastewater treatment industry for dewatering screenings and reducing solid volumes. Building on the Screwpactor's reliable performance over the years, the company's award-winning engineering team is now bringing to the market an upgrade designed to withstand extreme wastewater screenings handling conditions. The more robust spiral, higher torque, sealed double thrust bearings, and other proprietary features make this new compactor virtually indestructible!
Some plants experience high concentrations of large debris, such as bricks, two by fours, baseball bats, gravel, and even sheets and pillows if the treatment plant happens to be downstream of a prison where the residents find endless enjoyment from stopping up the toilets! Plants that treat storm water can be particularly challenged if the rain runoff is carrying trash from ditches along. These challenges called for equipment that was previously unavailable.
Pumping Services, Inc. responds to New York City Wastewater Treatment Plant Emergency
During one of the hottest days on record Wednesday July 20th 2011, Pumping Services, Inc. (PSI) received an urgent phone call from the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP). The City official was delivering information that the largest wastewater treatment plant in the New York City system was in difficulty and requested emergency and supplemental pumping equipment on site immediately. Their main pump engine room was on fire at the North River Wastewater Treatment Plant in Manhattan and the facility was being evacuated with all power and gas being turned off for safety.
Pumping Services' John Corkery was on site within one hour to formulate an emergency plan. Supported by PSI Emergency Response Team of Dale Parkhurst, Henry Smith, Bryce Parkhurst, and Lou Moscetti, the PSI team delivered three 40-foot trailer loads of supplemental pumping and control equipment to the job site.
ITT Flygt Submersible Pump-Around Pumps
Due to the compact design and space savings offered by ITT Flygt submersible pumps and their ability to lift the wastewater to 70 feet, the Flygt model CS pumps were perfect for the task. A total of (12) ITT Flygt pumps were shipped by PSI. The Flygt pumps are installed in 70 foot deep 8 foot wide channels upstream of the existing screening systems. Pumps are piped with HDPE pipe, connected to check valves and discharges to the plants primary tanks. PSI also provided Flygt 2600 Series dewatering pumps to evacuate the dry pit room. There was several feet of water in the dry pit pump room as a result of the fire-fighting effort. Thanks to the plant superintendent and his team for a remarkable recovery to normal operations.
Pumping Services, Inc. is known in the industry for its responsiveness and its willingness and ability to solve even the toughest constraints in order to return the facility to normal pumping operations. PSI has been involved with many critical and environmental disasters over its 40 years in business.
