Maximizing Wastewater Management Efficiency with HOMA's A Series Non-Clog Pumps
Wastewater management is a vital part of maintaining public health, environmental sustainability, and industrial operations. From municipal treatment plants to large-scale industrial facilities, the ability to transport and process sewage and sludge efficiently can make or break the success of an operation. At the center of that process are the pumps—hardworking machines that must endure abrasive materials, fibrous debris, and corrosive liquids without fail.
This is where HOMA’s A Series Non-Clog Pumps shine. Built to handle the rigors of sewage and wastewater with unmatched reliability, the A Series has become a go-to solution for facilities that demand long service life, minimal maintenance, and optimal performance. Whether installed in municipal lift stations, industrial sumps, or sludge transfer systems, these pumps are designed to keep things flowing—literally.
In this blog, we’ll break down why HOMA’s A Series Non-Clog Pumps are considered industry leaders in wastewater handling, how they improve system performance, and how **Process & Power—with offices in Memphis and Jackson, Tennessee; Springdale and Little Rock, Arkansas; and Tupelo, Mississippi—**can help you select, install, and maintain the right solution for your application.

Why Non-Clog Pumps Are Critical for Wastewater Applications
Non-clog pumps are engineered to handle solids-laden liquids without blockage. Unlike standard centrifugal pumps, they are specifically built to allow suspended solids, stringy materials, and other wastewater debris to pass through without clogging the impeller or suction passages.
Clogging can lead to:
Pump failure
System downtime
Costly emergency repairs
Overflow events or environmental violations
Reduced equipment life
Municipal and industrial wastewater facilities often deal with unpredictable input. Everything from grease to plastic packaging to fibrous materials like wipes and rags ends up in the system. That’s why choosing the right non-clog pump can mean the difference between smooth operations and constant maintenance headaches.
Overview of HOMA's A Series Non-Clog Pumps
HOMA’s A Series is a line of submersible and dry pit wastewater pumps designed for the most demanding sewage and sludge applications. These pumps combine German-engineered precision with decades of field-tested design improvements to deliver best-in-class performance.
Key Features at a Glance:
Flow capacities up to 6,000 GPM
Heads up to 200 feet TDH
Solids-handling capability up to 6 inches
Available in submersible and dry pit configurations
FM-approved explosion-proof models
Cast iron or Duplex stainless steel construction options
Horizontal and vertical mountings
Vortex, single-vane, and multi-vane impeller choices
With this range of options, the A Series is versatile enough to support nearly any wastewater environment, including those with abrasive, corrosive, or hazardous materials.
The Power of Impeller Versatility
A standout feature of the HOMA A Series is the range of impeller designs available to suit different types of wastewater streams.
Vortex Impellers
Best for heavily contaminated or fibrous media
Offers virtually clog-free operation
Ideal for sludge and slurry-type waste
Single-Vane Impellers
Offers excellent solids-handling with good efficiency
Suitable for medium-solids wastewater and stormwater applications
Multi-Vane Impellers
Designed for high-head and high-flow operations
More efficient for cleaner or lightly contaminated fluids
Ideal for clean-out basins and lift stations with low debris load
The ability to choose the right impeller design enables operators to match the pump to the unique characteristics of their system, ensuring optimal performance and longer equipment life.
Explosion-Proof Options for Hazardous Environments
Many wastewater systems include hazardous zones where flammable gases or vapors may be present. HOMA’s A Series includes FM-approved explosion-proof (XP) submersible motors, offering a safe solution for Class I, Division 1, Group C & D environments.
Explosion-proof A Series models provide:
Encapsulated stator windings
Anti-condensation heating options
Intrinsically safe leakage and temperature sensors
Corrosion-resistant exterior coating
Robust mechanical seals
These features make them ideal for:
Municipal sewer systems with methane off-gassing
Industrial wastewater with volatile chemicals
Lift stations located near landfills or chemical plants
Built-In Monitoring and Protection Systems
To increase reliability and minimize downtime, HOMA integrates standard temperature and leakage sensors into every A Series pump. These sensors allow for:
Early detection of moisture intrusion
Protection against overheating
Real-time performance alerts
Integration with SCADA systems or plant control panels
These safety features reduce the risk of catastrophic pump failure and help teams plan predictive maintenance—saving time, money, and stress.
Materials That Stand the Test of Time
HOMA understands that wastewater is tough on equipment. That’s why A Series pumps are constructed using:
Cast iron (ASTM A48 Class 35B) for durability and impact resistance
Duplex stainless steel (ASTM A890 1B) for corrosion and abrasion resistance in aggressive media
Optional Ceramic-coated parts for ultra-high wear protection
Hardened impellers and wear rings to maintain hydraulic efficiency
This construction ensures these pumps can survive years of constant operation in some of the most hostile wastewater environments on earth.
