A Tale of Two Pumps

Over the years, EPG has designed and manufactured pump and controls systems to meet a wide variety of application demands from the most basic shroud-less pump squeezed into a small de-watering well pipe to monster submersible pumps moving hundreds of gallons per minute over hundreds of feet.

Let's take a look at two very different 2-stage SurePumps™.

This first, larger 2-stage pump & control panel, is part of a multi-cell landfill leachate management system. It's paired with a custom guide rail disconnect and complete accessories package including breakout junction boxes, flow meter and pressure gauge. The UL listed control panel accommodates two of these pumps in lead/lag alternating mode ensuring reliable performance and longevity.

VSDPT 95-2

    • Vertical Sump Drainer
    • Integrated Level Sensor
    • 2-Stage Pump End
    • 20HP 460V 3 Phase Motor
    • 150′ Lead Lengths
    • +450GPM @ 150′ TDH
    • Size 12 (12”) Sump Drainer
    • 86” Long, 400 lbs.
    • Custom 6″ Flanged Discharge

YCL950PT

    • Enclosure: 36”x36“ NEMA 4X SS
    • Operates: Two 20HP Pumps in Lead/Lag Alternating Mode
    • Voltage: 460V 3 Phase
    • Controller: OCS (Operator Control Station)

This second and smaller 2-stage pump & control panel is very typical of the industry standard EPG has established for landfill side-slope riser applications. Like the system above, it also incorporates breakout junction boxes to help isolate expensive equipment from corrosive landfill gas and assist in maintenance.
