Introduction to MOPS Manufactured Odorless Pump Station


The MOPS program is a service to be used by design and consulting engineers in the application and permitting of standardized sewage and wastewater pump stations nationwide. Our manufactured odorless pump stations are designed to comply with all the requirements of the Great Lakes-Upper Mississippi River Board of Public Health and Environmental Managers, (1997 Edition, a.k.a. Ten States Standards), which most U.S. States and Territories have adopted.

The MOPS program has two (2) parts:

Part # 1 consists of permitting and designing the pump station and preparing the pump station engineering report for the application submittal. This includes supplying the engineer with a complete Engineering Report for his submittal, along with a drawing in AutoCAD of the pump station.

Part # 2 consists of manufacturing and supplying one or more standardized odorless pump stations for the application. The MOPS station is manufactured of the highest quality materials and workmanship by our staff with over 30 years of pump station experience. An on-site monitoring and maintenance program is available (for selected areas), with backup parts, service, standby pumping, and optional Remote Telemetry System via cell phone and satellite service (service contracts are mandatory for some areas).

The MOPS program, in most cases, is offered to design engineers on a "no-fee" basis to assist with the permitting process.


MOPS stations are available for a wide range of service conditions and sizes, from small grinder stations to large horsepower non-clog applications, both private and municipal.

ODORLESS PUMP STATION? 

This is correct. Atlantic Environmental Systems, Inc. has been involved in pump station odor and hydrogen sulfide gas control for nearly 20 years. Among the pump station's several odorless features is a long-life, odor-scrubbing system which removes waste odors, mercaptans, and toxic hydrogen sulfide gases. The MOPS system has a long life expectancy and is easily and economically recharged when needed. The pumps odorless design is ideal for apartment complexes, restaurants, parks, campgrounds, offices, stores or any other area where wastewater and/or sewage odors and toxic gases cannot be tolerated.

Most importantly, this odorless design is in compliance with Florida's design regulations. The State of Florida, Department of Environmental Protection requires odor control to be designed into sewage wastewater pump stations:

Florida Administrative Code 62-604.400(2)(c):
"New pumping stations shall be designed and located on the site so as to minimize adverse effects resulting from odors … The permittee shall give reasonable assurance that the facility shall not cause odor … in such amounts or at such levels that they adversely affect neighboring residents, in commercial or residential areas, so as to be potentially harmful or injurious to human health or welfare or unreasonably interfere with the enjoyment of life or property, including outdoor recreation …"

Florida Administrative Code 62-604.500(3):
"All equipment necessary for the collection/transmission of domestic wastewater, including equipment provided pursuant to rule 62-604.400(2), F.A.C., shall be maintained so as to function as intended. In the event odor … adversely affects neighboring developed areas at levels prohibited by Rule 62-604.400(2) (c), F.A.C., corrective action (which may include modifications of the collection/transmission system) shall be taken by the permittee. Other corrective action may be required to ensure compliance with rules of the Department."
