WELCOME TO THE MOPS NEWSLETTER

This is the first of our newsletters to bring you information on MOPS pump stations and the MOPS program, which we believe you will find interesting but, more importantly, beneficial to you and your business. Each newsletter will highlight special features of the MOPS program and also some of our unique project installations.

Welcome to the MOPS Newsletter

WHAT IS THE MOPS PROGRAM?

Our pump stations are not just another line of small, fiberglass basins for residential sewage. MOPS is a complete program that primarily benefits consulting and design engineers with the following features:

MOPS are applicable for pumping sewage, effluent, stormwater and industrial wastewater.

Atlantic Environmental Systems, Inc. is the originator, designer and holder of all copyrights and trademarks for the MOPS program. We are a licensed engineering company, registered with the state of Florida (Professional Engineering Certificate of Authorization # 26398). Thus, if requested, we can provide consulting engineers with signed and sealed drawings and design calculations for any MOPS pump station.

We frequently research lift station design details and provide this information to the consulting engineer. Such items include force main pressures, site power, existing and new required flow rates, optimization of wet well diameter vs. depth, and difficult installation recommendations.

“MOPS services are normally provided at no cost to the consulting engineering firm.”

After we assist with the design aspects of the pump station we then provide competitive pricing to the project owner or to the site contractor of his choice.

MOPS pump stations are the highest quality on the market! They feature heavy-duty reinforced fiberglass wet wells or HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) wet wells, as preferred by some consulting engineers and/or local utilities having jurisdiction in the area.

MOPS pump stations include features required by the latest state of Florida standards as well as the “Ten State Standards”, such as odorless design features built in throughout the pump station, explosion-proof pump motors and intrinsically safe control panel design features, battery back-up design for all control panel alarms, and cellular phone RTU (Remote Telemetry Unit) for 24/7 notification of station problems.

MOPS pump stations are available in the widest variety of sizes, from small simplex residential type (such as 2' or 3' diameter x 5' or deeper) up to large duplex municipal types (in diameters from 4' up to 12' and depths from 5' up to 30' deep and more, as required). Available pumps range from grinder pumps (2 HP up to 16 HP) and non-clog pumps (4" to 8" discharge, 1 to 50 HP and larger).

Contact us at your convenience whenever you have a sewage, wastewater, effluent, or stormwater pump station application. We can be reached via phone (800-806-1563) or at the fax number or e-mail address listed on these pages.

The MOPS program is currently used by many national and local consulting firms.

1. Typical MOPS sewage pump station for a private utility. Wet well is 6' diameter x 26' deep, with 4" discharge, 7.5 HP non-clog sewage pumps, assembled valve vault with AWWA standard ductile iron epoxy coated RW gate and OLW check valves.

2. Part of 37 HDPE MOPS pump stations being transported to a housing development which will ultimately have 94 stations. The designers of this exclusive development mandated MOPS features such as odorless station design, 24/7 RTU service notification system, and all stainless steel station piping and valves.

 

 

3. Typical MOPS stormwater pump station designed for high flow, low lift application (rehydration, stormwater disposal, etc.). Pumps are all stainless steel, 7.5 HP, submersible, 8" discharge, 1,500 GPM. 24" station inlet assembly.

HURRICANE WILMA DOESN’T STOP MOPS SERVICE CREWS!

Our MOPS Service Department maintains and services nearly 100 sewage pump stations from Homestead to Stuart. These MOPS stations are located at a wide variety of installations, such as shopping centers, churches, post offices, universities, schools department stores, condominiums, and housing developments.

For all of these pump stations our Service Department provides regular maintenance and service, as best suits each installation. Additionally, we provide 24/7 on-call services for any kind of emergency, power failure, or pump failure.

Our excellent service has enhanced the reputation for MOPS as being the highest quality, most reliable sewage pump stations on the market. During Hurricane Wilma (Oct. 23-24, 2005) power was lost for most of our service area

(over 1 million were without power from Miami-Dade County to Martin County), for up to 2 weeks. During this time MOPS customers were assured of continuous service because the MOPS service technicians were there to keep their pump stations pumping!
