    Design of Pumping Station

    Objective
    To elevate and transport wastewater when;
    Continuation of gravity flow is no longer
    feasible
    Basements are deep
    Any obstacle lies in the path of sewer
    Receiving stream is high than the sewer
    Sewage is to be delivered to an above
    ground treatment plant

    Pumps for Sewage


    Centrifugal,vertical,non clog type
    Impeller having 2 or 3 vanes
    Low head
    RPM 200-1200

    Other Aspects:
    Manufacturers specifies the sphere sizes which pump will pass
    Smallest discharge pipe is 80 mm
    Smallest suction pipe is 100 mm
    Pump suctions are usually larger than the discharge by about 25%
    Capacity of the pump=Maximum flow
    Number of Pumps=2 (minimum)

    Components of sewage pump


    stations
    1. Screens
    2. Dry well (for installation of pumps)
    3. Wet well (for receipt of wastewater)
    4. Pumps

    Design of wet well and pump selection


    Small pumping station where pump is sized to meet
    the peak flow, the following consideration are made:
    1.

    Pump must be run for at least 2 minutes

    2.

    Cycle time must not be less than 5 minutes so for smaller


    pumps 15 minutes and for larger pumps not less than 20
    minutes

    3.

    Detention time in the wet well at average flow should


    preferably be not more than 30 minutes to avoid sewage
    being septic

    Cycle time
    It is the time between successive start ups of the
    motor pump

    Cycle Time = Time to empty the wet well + Time to fill the wet well

    Let
    V= volume of wet well

    Therefore, cycle time equals to

    Where,
    P=pumping rate (constant and equal to max.flow)
    Q=sewage inflow(vary with time)

    For each pump ,the manufacturer gives the


    minimum recommended cycle time. Wet well
    should be designed in such a way that the cycle time
    is always greater than manufacturers given figure.

    Proof:
    Differentiating w.r.t Q (which is variable)

    For t min ,

    It can be proved that the minimum cycle time


    will be reached when :
    sewage flow rate=half of pumping rate

    Thus

    So the volume of wet well is equal to

    Pump Selection
    Number
    2 pumps for small stations (one as stand by),capacity at peak flow
    At least 4 pumps for large pumping stations with following capacities
    1.

    Minimum flow

    2.

    Average flow

    3.

    Maximum flow

    4.

    Maximum flow(stand by)

    .Intake each pump should have separate intake


    .Velocity- 0.6 m/s should maintained in the discharge line
    .Valves-Place gate valves on both suction and discharge pipes .Also place
    check valves on discharge pipes

    Problem 1
    A small subdivision produces an average wastewater flow of
    120,000 L/day. The minimum flow is estimated to be 15,000
    L/day and the maximum 420,000 L/day. Using a 2 min running
    time and a 5-min cycle time, determine the design capacity of
    each of two pumps and the required wet well volume.

    Problem 2
    A small sewage pump station is to have one pump
    operating at a time .It is expected that
    Qavg=450m3/day,Qmin=225m3/day,Qmax=787.5 m3/day will
    be the flow rates.
    Determine the wet well capacity , and cycle time at min
    and average flows. The following operation are to be
    met with
    1.Pump must run at least 2 min
    2.Cycle time should not be less then 5 min

    Problem 3
    The min and peak sewage flows are 2500
    m3/day ,25000 m3/day with an Qavg of
    7500m3/day at the pumping station. Design the
    wet well if the pump has a min cycle time of 30
    min. At what flow cycle time will be 2 times the
    min cycle time.

    Problem 4
    Sewage pumping station is to be design to pump
    sewage with average and peak flows of 3000 m 3/day
    and 9000m3/day. Pump has a min cycle time of 20 min.
    At what flow the cycle time will be twice the min cycle
    time.
