Pump Stations

This document discusses the design of sewage pump stations. It describes two main types: [1] wet well or submerged pump stations, used for small to medium flow rates, and [2] dry well or circular pump stations, used for medium to large flow rates. For each station type, it outlines the key components and design considerations, including suitable location, sizing the wet or dry well to meet retention time requirements, designing the force main, and calculating power requirements. The document provides the formulas and steps used to size each component during the design process.

Introduction
• Wastewater pumping stations are used to lift or elevate the
wastewater from a lower elevation to an adequate height at
which it can flow by gravity or overcome hydrostatic head.
Suitable Location of Sewage Pump station

• Location of Low elevations

• Location owned by the government

• Avoid intersections between sewers and water courses with large depth

• The road to the pump station with suitable width

• Near sources of electricity and water

• Invert level of inlet sewer should not be more than 6.5 m.


Components of Pump Station

1) Sump
2) Pump
3) Motor

Types of Pumping Stations
The pumping stations are classified as dry well and wet well.

• Dry Well Pump stations (wet-


dry):
Used for:
medium (40 – 300 L/s) &
large flowrates (more than 300
L/s)

• Wet Well Pump stations:


Used for:
small ( up to 40 L/s) &
medium flowrates (40 – 300
L/s).
