    The document discusses the design of sewage pumping stations, including their components like screens, wet wells, and pumps. It provides information on pump selection and sizing based on factors like minimum run time, cycle time, and wet well volume calculations. Several example problems are also included to demonstrate how to determine pump capacities, wet well sizes, and cycle times given flow rate parameters.

    Design of Disposal Station

    Lecture 6
    Objective of Pumping Wastewater
    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 200-1400

    Other Aspects:
    • Manufacturers specifies the sphere sizes which pump will pass
    • Smallest discharge pipe is 80 mm
    • Smallest suction pipe is 80 mm
    • 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 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)
    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- 1-2 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 atleast and a minimum 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 7500
    m3/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 m3/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.
