Thompson Pump Emergency Backup Lift Station with Silent Knight

Lift Station Emergency Backup Pumps

Lift stations are critical components in wastewater and stormwater management systems to ensure smooth flow. In order to maintain their functionality, backup power is essential-you never know when there might be a power outage. This leads to an important decision: diesel-driven backup pumps or generator-powered pumps.

Diesel-driven backup pumps are quickly replacing backup generator systems at lift stations across the country, as they operate independently of electrical systems. Thompson

Pump & Manufacturing Company, an ISO 9001, 45001, and 14001 Certified company and one of the nation's leading manufacturers of heavy-duty, diesel-powered bypass and dewatering pumps, offers its permanently installed standby units, which continue pumping despite power loss or primary pump failures. They also act as the primary pumping system during maintenance and repairs.

Other advantages include:

  • Less expensive than comparable diesel generators and ATS

  • Less complicated with no need for transfer switches

  • User-friendly with the ability to notify you when it's running, measure the water depth, and self-adjust the engine speed

  • Increased flexibility with the ability to size the pump to handle infiltration and inflow

  • Versatile with stand-alone capability to operate on its own power

These pumps also feature Thompson Pump's exclusive and eco-friendly Enviroprime System®, which actively prevents blow-by, keeping the environment clean and safe.

Through Sourcewell Contract 101221-TPM, participating organizations gain streamlined access to a comprehensive range of pumping solutions designed for demanding applications.
