Where Commercial Pump Solutions Fit in Facility Infrastructure
Commercial pump solutions integrate into key infrastructure zones where fluid movement and solids management are crucial. Typical placements include elevator sumps, mechanical basements, parking structures, grease interceptors, and gray water lift stations.
These systems function seamlessly for tight spaces with limited access, often below-grade or behind restricted panels. Proper installation ensures compliance with plumbing codes and improves building-wide system reliability.
Why Our Commercial Pump Systems Outperform Standard Equipment
Industrial Flow Solutions delivers commercial pump solutions engineered specifically for the demands of high-occupancy buildings and complex infrastructure.
Unlike off-the-shelf systems, our equipment is built with solid-handling capabilities, advanced sensing, and integrated control packages tailored to commercial plumbing environments. Our pumps outperform standard models by reducing manual servicing, preventing unplanned shutdowns, and operating reliably in confined, high-risk zones.
With decades of field experience and a catalog of proven systems, such as Oil Minder® and OverWatch®, we solve problems that traditional equipment can’t.

string(879) "Boiler Blowouts: Renewable energy plant installs hi-temp slurry pumps to eradicate pump failures. Covanta Energy is one of North America’s largest owners and operators of waste-to-energy plants and other renewable power facilities. Their 60+ facilities produce electricity for about one million homes. The Covanta Dade energy plant in Florida processes 4,200 tons of municipal solid waste and biomass fuel daily. The plant burns that waste to produce electricity, boiling water to turn turbines that generate 77 megawatts of power. During the boiler blowout procedure, 185°F water is pumped from the system to minimize buildup of scale and corrosion. Read about Covanta engineers' pump solution that could stand up to 185°F water, was resistant to corrosion and abrasive sand and grit, and a pump that was available with the high head option needed for the application."

A correctional facility in the Great Plains region was struggling with tape, pieces of cloth and other contraband being flushed down toilets by prisoners. The contraband would work its way through the septic system and into the wastewater pump. The facility’s two grinder pumps that transport raw sewage to the municipal wastewater treatment plant frequently clogged due to large solid remnants. Read how Industrial Flow Solutions® SK Series corrosion-resistant, solids-handling, non-clog pump to replaced their existing grinder pumps, reduced maintenance costs, downtime and lowered the total cost of ownership."

Commonly Asked Questions About Commercial Pump Solutions
What are the main types of commercial pump solutions?
Standard commercial pump solutions include submersible sump pumps, in-line solids-handling systems, and lift station packages. Each type supports different building layouts and waste handling needs.
Can commercial pump systems handle food waste and grease?
Yes, many commercial pump solutions include clog-resistant components and shredding impellers designed to manage food solids, grease, and debris in kitchen and food service areas.
How do commercial pump solutions prevent system backups?
Automated sensors, non-clog impellers, and real-time flow monitoring allow these systems to manage sudden volume changes without overflow or shutdown.
Do commercial buildings require code-compliant pump systems?
They do. Most facilities are required to meet local plumbing codes and environmental standards. Commercial pump solutions with certified controls and sealed components help ensure compliance. IFS offers commercial buildings a variety of pumps including those that are UL778 compliant and controls that have UL508A approval.
