Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for coupling a pump to existing piping in a pump station such as a sewage or other suitable pump station. The adapter features a stand inlet adapter plate for coupling to one coupling of the existing piping; a pump adapter plate for coupling to a first port of the pump; and a clamp ring for coupling to the stand inlet adapter plate so as to allow the pump to be freely rotated a full 360° degrees if necessary in order to align another coupling of the existing piping to a second port of the pump, the stand inlet adapter plate being tightened and locked to the clamp ring after the pump is aligned for fastening the one coupling of the existing piping to the first port of the pump.

Abstract: Simple, narrow bands are secured to a generally planar platform, and joined together, above the platform, by a tether-attaching bolt. The bolt mounts a lifting eye for a hook and tethering cable. One of the bands and the platform, receive mixer-mounting bolts for replaceably fixing the mixer on the platform. To inhibit unwanted migration of the apparatus across the bottom of a liquid-confining tank or reservoir, the platform has pointed-end feet depending therefrom, and removable weights are set atop the bands, whereat the latter are joined together.

Abstract: Three, spaced-apart, elongate limbs, each fixed at one end to a planar, rectilinear base, and two thereof mounting a shackle-receiving, mixer-mounting plate, at the opposite ends thereof, define the frame as an open support for a mixer. The mixer is fastened to an arm extending inwardly of the frame from one of the limbs, and to the mounting plate. A cone, centrally fixed on the base, assures fully wide dispersion of the fluid.

Abstract: A submersible mixer support system for use in sewage treatment systems and the like has parallel tubular guide bars supporting at least one mixer stand unit having a slow rotation, large propellered mixer thereon. The mixer stand unit is releasably clamped to the parallel guide bars by clamping units each having a horseshoe-shaped resilient clamping block deformable when a clamping pressure is applied thereto by a preload assembly located remotely therefrom. The mixer support system facilitates removal and servicing of the various subassemblies located thereon.
