Pipe sizing and determining the kind of pump to use
Pipe sizing and determining the kind of pump to use
(OP)
Hi everyone
We are trying to figure out which kind of pump to use. We are going to pump sewage via a pipe to the treatment plant. I have been asked to find out what kind of pump it will be, for how long will it pump and the flow into the sump. I don't have experience with sewer pumps or pumping of any kind,I would like to know how those of you who do have experience would do it.
Thank you

Another good textbook is "Collection and Pumping of Wastewater" by Metcalf & Eddy.
The most commonly used type of pump for sewage is the centrifugal pump. The impellers used in these pumps are designed to pass 3" dia. solids. Pumps are generally single end suction, volute type, and fitted with non-clog impellers.
