Pump Station Design: wastewater_lift
Design criteria for water and wastewater pump stations — covering wet well sizing, pump cycling, velocity limits, submergence requirements, emergency storage, and station layout for wastewater lift stations, water booster/distribution stations, stormwater stations, fire pump stations, and industrial process pump stations. Based on Ten States Standards, HI, AWWA, NFPA 20, and API 610.
| station type | parameter record id | VFD recommended | backup power required | design flow gpm | design parameter type | min cycle time min (min) | notes | peak factor (dimensionless) | population or flow range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| wastewater_lift | pump_cycling#municipal_large | Yes | Yes | > 2000 | pump_cycling | 5 | Multiple pumps in parallel; VFD on lead pump recommended | 2 | municipal_large |
| wastewater_lift | pump_cycling#residential_medium | No | Yes | 500-2000 | pump_cycling | 5 | VFD can reduce cycling; duty-standby arrangement minimum | 2.5 | residential_medium |
| wastewater_lift | pump_cycling#residential_small | No | Yes | < 500 | pump_cycling | 5 | Max pump starts: 6-10/hr for small pumps; min cycle 5 min prevents motor overheating | 3 | residential_small |
