    Using a backpressure regulator to maintain a minimum pressure

    Sorry for the confusion. What Pierreick is asking is really outside the scope of my original question. I really just wanted to know how a backpressure valve affects the TDH required of the pump to operate on its curve. Because due to the elevation difference, at average flow my pump is not...

    Using a backpressure regulator to maintain a minimum pressure

    Sorry it was the weekend and I didn't have time to reply. Thank you for the input. I will try and clarify the system. I will try to bullet point the main points. - I can gravity flow, but do not want to due to the length of the pipeline and the source of the water. This is wastewater containing...

    Using a backpressure regulator to maintain a minimum pressure

    I'm designing a pumping system where I have a large variance in flow and the starting Elevaiton is higher than my end elevation. So at low flow, I would not stay on the pump curve. However, at the peak flow, I am on the curve due to line losses. I'm considering installing a backpressure valve on...
