Double Disc Pump Wet Well Design and Minimum Submergence to Prevent Vortexing

Introduction

One of the most persistent misconceptions in municipal wastewater engineering is that positive displacement (PD) pumps are immune to the hydraulic sensitivities that plague centrifugal systems. While it is true that double disc pumps (DDP) are robust, self-priming, and capable of handling high solids, they remain subject to the fundamental laws of...

Horizontal End Suction Pumps VFD Setup: Preventing Overheating

INTRODUCTION

A frequent failure mode in municipal water and industrial wastewater applications is not the catastrophic burst of a casing, but the silent, cumulative degradation of insulation and mechanical seals due to thermal stress. Engineers often prescribe Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to improve energy efficiency, assuming that slowing a pump down inhe...

Submersible Materials Selection: Cast Iron vs Stainless vs Duplex in Wastewater

Introduction to Submersible Pump Metallurgy

One of the most persistent and costly challenges in modern wastewater management is the premature degradation of submersible pumping equipment due to shifting influent chemistry. As water conservation efforts reduce flow rates, wastewater becomes more concentrated. Simultaneously, longer retention times in force main...

Non-Clog Wastewater Pumps Wet Well Design and Minimum Submergence to Prevent Vortexing

Introduction

One of the most persistent and costly failures in municipal wastewater collection systems is not the mechanical failure of the pump itself, but the failure of the intake hydraulics. Engineers frequently specify high-efficiency, robust pumping equipment, only to place it into a geometry that guarantees reduced lifespan. A significant percentage of ...

Selection Guide: How to Specify Metering Pumps for Municipal Lift Stations

Introduction

Municipal engineers frequently underestimate the complexity of chemical injection at remote lift stations. While the primary sewage pumps receive the bulk of the design attention, the auxiliary chemical feed systems are often the critical defense against the wastewater industry’s most pervasive enemies: hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) corrosion, noxious...
