PUMP STATION MONITORING RESOURCES

• Xylem’s Flygt N 3312 Electric Pump Provides Non-Clog Sewer Bypass Solution

  Electric submersible pump is another game-changing rental solution

• Temporary Bypass Provides Non-Clogging Solution For Lift Station System Upgrade

  Lift stations are an essential component of many municipal and industrial wastewater collection systems to move sewage from low to high elevation. Such is the case for the John Street lift station in Monroe County, New York, which serves both a large residential community and the nearby campus of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).

• Electric Or Diesel: Selection Criteria Should Include Operating Costs For Temporary Bypass Pumping

  For decades, the standard in temporary bypass pumping has been diesel-powered portable pumps, and for good reason: Their flexibility and the ability to set them up anywhere has made them the go-to choice. But with fluctuating fuel and rising servicing costs, as well as growing interest in cleaner, greener sources of power, electric-drive pumps can be a viable alternative for project needs, especially for longer-term projects.

• Upgrading A 100-Year-Old Pump Installation In New Orleans

  Sulzer pumps are customized to meet the unique requirements of an historic pumping station.

• Tunnel Dewatering

  Pablo Garcia, Global Business Development Manager at Sulzer, looks at how tunneling operations can be affected by the choice of pumping equipment used for dewatering.

• Revolutionizing Pumping Station Control

  Sulzer-led award-winning project improves performance and control of sewage pumping stations.

• Prison Facility Eliminates Frequent Submersible Pump Clogs With New Above-Grade Approach

  Prison sewage often contains extra trash, towels, and rags that enter the sewerage network and cause pump clogging problems. When a correctional facility underwent a capacity expansion, changes to its problematic submersible sewage pumping station coincided, resulting in a new operator-safe approach to combatting the ills of prison sewage pump clogs.

• After 30 Attempts To Cut Through The FOG, the Wet Well Wizard Makes Major Improvements

  The Memorial Park Pump Station (MPPS) transfers wastewater flows from Memorial Park to Chapel Street WWTP and/or Te Maunga WWTP. It is a large pump station (PS) installed within a 9.0m diameter concrete structure. The pump station is approximately 12m deep, with a 6.5m maximum water depth and split into several compartments.

• Challenging Turnkey Installation Of Five Raw Water Pumps

  For one city in Texas, accessing a new source of water required considerable expertise in pumping technology. The pumping station was to be located 320 feet (98 meters) above the 9 ft (2.7 meter) tunnel that carries the water from the intake system in the lake. The water had to travel almost a mile (1.6 km) uphill to the water treatment plant, so a considerable amount of civil engineering was required. Read the full case study to learn how the SJT large vertical pump was determined to be the most suitable pump for this project.

• Above Ground Pumping Revolutionizes Texas School District’s Operations

  For most small to medium-sized operations groups like Klein Independent School District in the suburbs of Houston, the conventional choice of submersible wastewater pumps holds little wisdom. Above-ground pump stations reduce exposure to designated confined spaces, and associated safety requirements, allowing these  groups to operate in a more convenient and cost-effective manner.
