INSTRUCTOR: Brad Derrick, P.E.
Participants will have access to the virtual workshop video archives and materials for 60 days from the start day of the workshop.
Virtual Workshop Brief
Wastewater almost universally needs to be lifted, or pumped, to get to its eventual destination. Long standing best practices and design standards have converged on a duplex, submersible pumping station as the standard of practice. This workshop will review the requirements, design process, and operational parameters for a standard small submersible wastewater pump station. Topics will include industry standards, regulatory requirements, matching system and pump curves, wetwell sizing, operational controls, and constructability considerations. Focus will be on nominal 250 gpm pump station, with minimum 4-inch diameter force main common in residential and rural settings.
Benefits and Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Apply national standards for sanitary pumping station design
- Make a selection from appropriate of submersible pump and pump station layouts
- Define control sequences for pump station operation
- Anticipate common construction challenges for Pump Station Projects
- Navigate the regulatory and engineering principles that govern the design of submersible pump stations
- Apply Step by step design process for sizing pump stations
- Understand key principals of operation and critical safety features built into submersible pumps and pump stations
- Evaluate existing facilities in their own collection systems meet operational and reliability standards
Attendees completing this course will have a knowledge of the process and key elements that must be addressed in the development sanitary pump station projects.
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Students' achievement of the learning outcomes will be assessed through case study analysis exercises and class discussions following the presentation of each major topic. A short post-assessment (true-false, multiple choice and fill in the blank questions) will also be administered.
