Have to purge apartments of large amounts of claimed clothing. I built a nice system for flooding the apartments with magma then purging it over a safe zone by the nearby volcano.

Problem is this will take months at the lava's current speed. Is there any way to mod the lava to as fast (or faster than) water flowing.

No, and posting your question in multiple forums won't change the answer.

It's called a screw pump, mate. Learn to harness it's magic.

It can move as fast as you're willing to spend the time to make it.

as Sphalerite said, screw pumps will get you some fast lava, the more screw pumps, the faster they can move the lava, and then your only concern is making sure there is enough lava for all your pumps to continue to draw from.

Magma doesn't pressurise like water, so having a massive cistern of magma isn't going to speed things up.  Screw pumps, however, will pressurise magma.  So, make a massive cistern of magma (don't want the pump entry getting dry!) and then use pumps to deliver it quickly down various pipes of your making.

Thankfully the spreading out and settling and such occurs at the same speed regardless of fluid. It's only pumps or water sitting above 7/7 tiles of more water that make things go faster than that.
