This manual of practice presents current design considerations for wastewater and stormwater pumping stations. It covers station capacity requirements and configuration, the selection and design of pumping equipment, piping system layout and hydraulic considerations, electrical and instrumentation systems design, and other station appurtenances. Intended for design professionals, it addresses design of stations of all sizes and highlights the differences between wastewater and stormwater stations. Design of Wastewater and Stormwater Pumping Stations MOP FD-4, 3rd Edition features, The use of new tools for analyzing computational fluid dynamics and modeling I/I. Parameters and design scenarios that go beyond just peak flow and address impacts on the overall system, rather than just the station itself. New technologies regarding screening technologies, odor control, and hoist options. The addition of new topics, such as coverage of larger stormwater pump stations (>1000 cfs) and of unique impacts on coastal communities. Updated pipe material not widely used, or even available, when the previous edition published.
Updated electrical standards based on NFPA and IEEE, including addressing arc flash hazards. Discussion of options concerning the use of VFDs. New information on updated technology concerning instrumentation and SCADA.
