The Value of Redundancy in Municipal Pump Systems
In municipal pumping applications, reliability isn’t just a preference—it’s a necessity. Whether handling potable water, stormwater, or wastewater, municipal pump systems must perform without interruption to protect public health, safeguard infrastructure, and comply with regulatory requirements. That’s where redundancy comes in.
Visit Cornell at the Tri-State Seminar — See Us at the Gierlich-Mitchell Booth
Cornell Pump is excited to exhibit at the 2025 Tri-State Seminar, August 5 and 6 at the South Point Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas! You’ll find us inside the Gierlich-Mitchell booth, where we’ll showcase municipal pumping solutions engineered for reliability, efficiency, and demanding applications.
Cutters vs. Choppers: Choosing the Right Impeller for Modern Wastewater Challenges
As wastewater compositions evolve—with flushable wipes, fibrous materials, and grease-laden solids now common—traditional non-clog pumps are increasingly unable to cope. Municipalities and industrial users face a critical choice: should they specify a cutter or chopper impeller for their toughest pumping applications?
Z-Series
Z-series centrifugal pumps’ robust build and higher efficiencies position the series to offer better results than standard ANSI pumps. Easy access to parts and Cornell quality since 1946 make the Z-Series an easy choice for many industrial and municipal applications.
Cornell History
The story of Cornell starts in 1946 when 5 people working at Pacific Pump Company decided to head out on their own. Having a complete service department, they became familiar with what most of the common pump failures were. Many motor failures came from pressure spikes during operation, overloading capacity and water related failures of the pump end motor bearings. With many parts in stock and facilities to fabricate the rest, Cornell would service any model of pump.
Oil and Gas
Oil & Gas Pumps Cornell pumps have a reputation for being durable and reliable in harsh conditions. Since 1946, our pumps have been designed and manufactured to meet rigorous standards in Portland, OR. Cornell pumps are widely used in the oil and gas industry, hydraulic fracturing, due to their exceptional uptime, dependability, and efficiency. On […]
Municipal
Municipal Pumps Cornell pumps are a reliable choice for municipal applications such as clear water, wastewater, and grey water. Cornell has provided pumps for municipal installations for over 70 years, offering permanent and temporary/emergency solutions. The new cutter pump effectively reduces waste water ragging, leading to excellent uptime and reduced maintenance costs. With a double […]
Food Process
Food Process Pumps Nearly 40 years ago, Cornell revolutionized the food industry by introducing the Hydro-Transport food process pump. Today, our pumps transport food products, like potatoes and tomatoes, with minimal damage. Beyond the P and PP series pumps, Cornell provides pumps for various applications in the food industry, including clear liquids, hot oil, and […]
