The Vaughan Chopper Pump Storm® is a skid-mounted, fully enclosed emergency backup pump system designed for lift station redundancy in storm-prone regions. It is powered by either Diesel (Final Tier 4) or Natural Gas/LPG/Propane and features a 14-gauge galvannealed steel enclosure with lockable hinged access panels. The system includes a dry prime vacuum pump, a vacuum-assisted end suction centrifugal pump, an automatic control system with MODBUS communication, and SCADA interface via RS485. Engine RPM auto-throttles in response to pressure, level, or flow signals, with float switch backup. The unit is sound-attenuated, includes interior and exterior work lights, and is mounted on a powder-coated steel skid with a lifting frame. All components are enclosed for weatherproofing and ease of service.
Flooding is one of the most common and destructive severe weather occurrences in the United States. Water and wastewater treatment facilities in storm-prone regions are especially susceptible to the impacts of floods and these impacts can have rippling effects that cause long-term issues.
Even in regions where pipelines are designed to withstand increased flows from severe weather events, facilities can become overwhelmed. In many cases untreated wastewater can spill into residential areas, coastlines, and freshwater sources contaminating drinking water and posing potential health risks to nearby communities.
That’s why Vaughan Company has developed the Vaughan Chopper Storm™, a fully enclosed stand-alone emergency backup pump solution. For municipal facilities investing in flood resilience, this is the backup pump solution for you.
Pump systems are only as strong as their weakest link, so take the steps necessary to back up your treatment system. With the Vaughan Chopper Storm™, you will experience:
