Lecture 1: Introduction to Pumping Stations

1.1 Purpose and types of pumping stations

The main purpose of pumping stations is to transfer fluids from
low points to higher points.
The main types of pumping stations are:
Wastewater PS.
Water PS.
Sludge PS.
Storm water PS.

1.2 Types of pumps

Pumps are classified into two main categories:
Kinetic pumps.
o
o

Centrifugal pumps ( radial, axial, mixed flow)

Turbine (vertical) pumps

Positive displacement pumps.

o
o

Rotary pumps ( screw, lobe)

Reciprocating pumps (plunger)

The common feature of all centrifugal pumps is the Volute

The vertical pumps are equipped by a diffuser instead the Volute

Kinetic pumps: Vertical Turbine Pump

Lecture 1: Introduction to Pumping Stations

Rotary Pump: Screw pumping station

Lecture 1: Introduction to Pumping Stations

In the screw pump a revolving shaft fitted with blades rotates in an inclined
trough and pushes the water up the trough.

Rotary Pump: Screw pumping station

Lecture 1: Introduction to Pumping Stations

Rotary Pump: Lobe

Lecture 1: Introduction to Pumping Stations

In the reciprocating pump a piston sucks the fluid into a cylinder then pushes it
up causing the water to rise.
