This one day live virtual training course will cover the essential requirements for designing Sewage Pumping Stations.
The design of sewage pumping stations provides unique challenges in addition to those normally encountered when designing pumping installations in the water industry. Issues such as the nature and volume of solids content in the flow, sump design and particular operational approaches must be taken into account.
The course will begin by covering general requirements for pumping station design including liquid properties, different types of pumps & their characteristics, system curves, selecting the right pump for the system and cavitation. All topics covered will have an emphasis on sewage pumping station design aspects.
The course will then progress to more detailed coverage of the requirements for sewage pumping stations including sump design, how to mitigate solids deposition, generating system curves at site, design and operation of dry and wet wells and duty/assist/standby pumping. The objective of the course is to provide those required to operate or design sewage pumping stations, approve designs or advise on improvements to existing systems with an overview of factors to be taken into account.
Objectives:
- Understand how liquid properties affect pump selection and performance.
- Become familiar with the characteristics and construction of Centrifugal & Positive Displacement pumps.
- Learn the design principals for sewage pumping stations and produce system curves.
- Cover the the design criteria for sumps, how to set start/stop levels and how to keep sumps clean.
- Learn what to look out for when adopting small sewage pumping stations.
Programme:
- The material will be presented by a series of live virtual lectures and exercises.
- The sessions will include ample time for questions and live discussion with the lecturer.
- Printed course notes are provided to allow for more efficient note taking during the course.
- All delegates will receive, on request, a certificate of attendance to support their Continuing Professional Development.
Who should attend?
- Engineers who design or operate sewage pumping stations.
- Those who assess or approve designs or proposals.
- Project Managers, Procurement professionals and others who need an appreciation of sewage pumping installations and systems.
- Those responsible for the adoption of sewage pumping installations.
