Sewage Network – Lifting station Calculation Notes
Submission (15 May 2018)
1. INTRODUCTION
The submersible pumps (PS01 to PS07) flow rate for lift station (LS01 to LS07) shall be based on the following:
 The design peak flow

 The initial and design average flow for efficient operation of the pumps.
2. SELECTION OF PUMPS:
Commercial standard pumps shall be selected of impeller adjustment to modify output. Pump type and size
are selected to achieve the maximum and minimum flow rate and to accommodate the variations in rate of
discharge from the lift station.
3. ARRANGMENT CONSIDERATIONS:
The wet well volume between high level and low level and the number of pumps shall be such that the
pumps will not be cycled more than recommended by the manufacturer and that the retention time of the
sewage will be as short as possible. As per NEMA design table a 16 starts per hour shall be considered in the
design of the wet pit and a retention time of 42 seconds.
4. WET PIT STRUCTURE CONFIGURATION:

Wet pit shall be circular. The minimum live volume in the sump per pump shall be:
Volume = 0.25 Q.T
Where Q: Pump capacity
T: Minimum ON/OFF cycle time offered by the pump manufacturer (16 starts is considered)
5. GENERAL REQUIREMENT
The factors and general requirements of the lift stations are given in the following table:
General Requirement Pump

Duty pump + Stand by pump Station
1+1
Types of impeller Mixed flow
Service rating for pump 15 years
Solids handling capacity 100mm
Running hours per day per pump 8-10 hour
Max. speed for pump 1500 rpm

5. PUMPING/FORCE MAINS:
5.1. Hydraulic design
Design basis calculations shall be done as following:
 Minimum velocity: 1m/sec
 Maximum velocity: 2.5m/s
6. INSTRUMENTATION:
Ultrasonic level detection shall be used for sump level monitoring and pump control

7.2 Sump Pit Size
7.2.1 As per NEMA table a 4hp pump max permissible starts/stops is 16
Therefore, t =3600/16 = 225 sec
The active sump volume, i.e, the volume between the start and stop level is
Vmin =0.25 Q [m3/s] x T [s] = VTOT
7.2.2 For a station flow rate 0-60 L/s → a wet well diameter 2.4 m is recommended.
7.2.3 Sump pit effective height = he = V / Area = V [ m³]/ (3.14 x 2.42 /4) m² = 0.221161 V [m]
7.2.4 In order to provide the best possible inflow to the pump, the minimum distance from the bottom
of the sump to the pump shall be 40% of the inlet diameter, provided there is no risk of trapping
larger objects between the inlet and the sump floor
→ h = 0.4 x diain

8. PUMP HEAD CALCULATIONS
The method used here combines the Darcy-Weisbach equation which characterizes the head loss due to
friction in a given length of pipe, with the K-method (or velocity head method) to calculate the head loss
in the pipe fittings.
To determine the required pump head, the most critical path is first identified and divided into different
sections based on the different pipe diameters and/or flow rate of each section. The total head in each
pipe section, , may then be expressed as:
where is the static head due to gravity, is the friction head calculated using the Darcy-
Weisbach, and are the summation of all the local head losses due to pipe fittings.
The total head required from the pump, , is then calculated as:
where SF is an applied safety factor (15%).
8.1 LOCAL FITTING LOSSES

To calculate the head loss due to friction and pipe fittings we first define the average fluid velocity inside
a pipe of inner diameter, , as follows:
where is the flow rate, and is the hydraulic cross sectional area.
The head loss due to local pipe fittings may then be expressed as:
where and are the dimensionless constant and the total number for the pipe fitting ( ), and
is the gravitational acceleration constant (9.81 m/s 2). The summation in the previous equation is done
over all types of fittings in the given pipe section according to the values given in Table 1 below (refer to
appendix 1 for detailed reference).

8.2 FRICTION LOSSES
The head component due to friction, , is expressed using the Darcy-Weisbach as:
where is the total length of pipe in the section, is the internal pipe diameter, and is the
Darcy friction factor which depends on the pipe roughness, , Reynolds number, , and inner pipe
diameter.
The Reynolds number, , for a fluid flowing inside a circular pipe is defined as:
where , the kinematic viscosity of water, is equal to 1×10-6 m2/s at 20°C.
For a conduit flowing completely full of fluid at , the friction factor, , may be
expressed using the Colebrook-White equation as:
Due to the implicit nature of the equation, it has to be solved iteratively.
