The Critical Role of Lubrication in Reducing Parts Wear
In any rotating equipment, whether pumps, motors, or gear drives, lubrication is one of the most essential yet often overlooked factors in long-term reliability. A proper lubrication strategy doesn’t just make parts run smoother; it directly affects equipment life, maintenance costs, and total operating efficiency.
Celebrating National Manufacturing Day
Today we recognize the importance of American manufacturing and the people who power it. At Cornell Pump Company, we are proud to design, engineer, and assemble our pumps right here in the United States.
Top Maintenance Practices for Long-Term Life of Municipal Pumps
Municipal pumps are critical infrastructure that keep water flowing for communities, support wastewater treatment, and ensure reliable service around the clock. Given their constant workload, extending pump life is not just about saving money. It is about protecting public health, avoiding costly downtime, and maximizing efficiency. With the right maintenance practices, municipalities can greatly improve pump longevity and performance.
Flexibility in Deployment: Trailer-Mounted Units to Skid Packages

Return Activated Sludge vs. Waste Activated Sludge: Where Cornell Pumps Make the Difference
In modern wastewater treatment plants, activated sludge systems are the backbone of biological treatment. Two essential processes — Return Activated Sludge (RAS) and Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) — ensure that plants operate efficiently, remove contaminants, and maintain healthy microbial populations.
Tuesday Tip: Advantages of Double Volutes
When it comes to centrifugal pump design, efficiency and reliability often come down to details inside the casing. One such feature is the double volute—a design choice that offers significant advantages over single volute configurations, particularly in larger pumps.
