C. Submersible
Motor is integrally sealed to pump. Always vertical. Pump + motor operates submerged in the sump or reservoir Advantage: small footprint, no separate pump room needed.

Old pipes can become more rough, due to pipe corrosion, and interior deposits.

1 pump
It indicates the net absolute head available at the suction side of the pump impeller, point 2 .
EXAMPLE. Estimate the NPSHA, Given Elev. 1 = 100 m., Elev. 2 = 98 m, Estimated suction losses = 1m, Temp = 100 C, Elev. = sea level. NPSHA = 10.3 m + (100 m 98 m) 1 m losses 0.12 m vapor = 11.2 m
TYPES OF STATIONS
Dry-well Stations
Also called dry-pit or conventional Pump room (or dry well) houses the pumps DRY-WELL STATION Separate chamber (wet-well, or sump) stores incoming wastewater
Submersible Stations
Pumps/motors are submerged within the wet well No separate pump room exists UsesSUBMERSIBLE separate valve vault and STATION 24 control room

Pumps mounted above the water surface level Pump must include self-priming vacuum-break, to lift water into impeller Easy pump access, close to surface Low cost station 40 But may be less reliable
Objectives:
Must be large enough to handle the peak
Must be reliable and efficient for normal daily operation
Overlapping Considerations
How many total pumps? Variable-speed or constant? How to handle the peak? Parallel pumping? Future expansions?
A Variable-Speed Station?
Example: multi pump (3 or more) graduated-capacity, constant speed system. Small unit sized for 2 ft./sec.
Flat system curve example: One pump = 16,000 gpm Two pumps = 30,000 gpm
Steep system curve example: One pump = 16,000 gpm Two pumps = 18,000 gpm
Parallel pumping is most useful when system head curve is fairly flat.
