    EAH 316 - Pumping Station-MFM-Note 3

    Uploaded by

    Nasrul
    The document discusses the planning and design of pumping stations. It describes two main types of pumping stations - dry pit and wet pit stations. Wet pit stations are more common as they allow for easier access for routine maintenance and emergency work. The document also discusses pump selection factors like performance curves, size, and number of pumps to use. Proper pump placement in the sump and intake structure design are also covered. Other topics include hydrology analysis, discharge head calculations, pump storage sizing, water level sensors, and additional facilities like power supply, trash removal, and safety features.

    EAH 316: HYDRAULIC STRUCTURE

    Topic: Pumping Station


    PUMPING STATION-MSMA
    • High cost and normally used only when gravity drainage is not feasible
    • Usually used at flood prone are for flood mitigation

    PLANNING PROCESS
    1. Planning of site location
    • Located at drainage system outlet
    • Sufficient space for facilities
    • Safe access for parking, operation, maintenance and emergency function

    2. Station types
    • TWO (2) types of station;
    (i) Dry pit/well
    (ii) Wet pit/well-more often used
    • Advantages & disadvantage of dry pit:
    i. the space availability i.e perform routine, maintenance and emergency
    ii. 60 % more expensive than wet pit
    iii. More appropriate for handling sewage because of potential health hazards
    and maintenance personnel
    3. Pump types
    • Centrifugal & axial pumps (submersible)
    usually used: less noise, simple design,
    less cost for construction & maintenance

    4. Pump Selection
    • Performance curve provided by
    manufacturer
    • More concern towards capital cost of
    storm water pump station: very short
    operation period
    • Two or three pump should be used-same
    size
    • Avoid large pump: frequent starting &
    stopping can reduce life span of the
    pumps
    5. Pump Sump & intake
    • Pump position in the sump should recommended by manufacturer
    specification or even through physical modelling
    • The primary intake structure is to supply an even distribution of flow to the
    pumps to avoid reduced pump efficiency and undesirable operational
    characteristics such as cavitation problem.
    PLANNING PROCESS
    1. Hydrology
    • The design standard (flood hydrograph for stormwater) should be the
    same as for major drainage system
    • Design peak discharge should consider; runoff volume and hydrograph
    shape for various rainstorm duration
    • Pump area tributary as small as possible
    • Avoid future increase in pumping, should consider bypass

    2. Discharge head and system curve


    2. Discharge head and system curve-cont
    • TDH must be determine for a sufficient
    number of points to draw a system head
    curve (Q vs TDH)
    • Figure 19.12-from pump’s manufacturer
    • Figure 119.13-yield the pump operating
    points
    3. Pump storage sizing
    • Complex relationship between pumping rates, storage and pump on-off
    • Storage capacity is usually required as a part of storage design to permit the
    use of smaller & more economical pumps
    • Min run time & pumping cycling with increase of storage should be considerd

    • Comparing inflow hydrograph and


    required storage
    4. Water level sensors
    • Use to activate the pumps
    • Types od sensor: float switch, electronic probes, mercury switch, pressure
    switch

    5. Allowable high water elevation (AHW)


    • Provide at least 0.3 to 0.6 m of freeboard below the roadway gate

    OTHER FACILITIES & REQUIREMENTS


    1. Power
    • Types of power: electric motor, petrol, diesel, natural gas
    • Electric power available is usually used-economical m reliable
    • Motor voltage 415 volts for pumping
    • Motor size 225 kW for maintenance
    2. Trash and grit chamber
    • Bar screen – 35 mm
    • Automatic trash racks
    • Grit chamber required when substantial amounts of sediment are anticipated

    3. Ventilation - Necessary for dry or wet pit

    4. Roof Hatches and monorails- Required for maintenance and repair

    5. Equipment certification- to ensure the pumps meet the design and


    specification

    6. Monitoring and maintenance- vulnerable to wide range operational


    problem -telemetry and scada can be introduced

    7. Safety – ladders, stairwell and other access points equipped with adequate
    light
