In order for the raw sewage to continue the journey towards a wastewater treatment plant, it needs to be efficiently transported to a higher elevation. Fortunately, we have the wastewater lift stations to help. Eventually, the raw sewage reaches a storage container referred to as a wet well, which is essentially a holding cell that empties out once it reaches a predetermined level. While in the wet well, the wastewater is tested and carefully monitored in order to detect sewage levels.
Coarse solid materials are removed at this stage. A sewer force main is a system that consists of pumps and compressors. Its purpose is to elevate the wastewater to a higher elevation so that it can continue its inevitable journey towards treatment and recirculation. In dry-well lift stations, the system is housed in a separate location usually underground or in a separate chamber. Due to this physical separation, maintenance on a dry well is more hazardous and poses increased safety risks.
Submersible pumps, as the name suggests, are submerged in the wastewater they pump. It is mounted inside the wet well and uses a motor to pump the wastewater. This method is more modern due to the reduced health and safety concerns they offer.
A functional wastewater lift station pump consists of multiple working parts and components. Everything from a power supply to remote monitoring and control must be in working order so that wastewater can be effectively collected and treated. Every aspect of the lift station pump needs to be contained and installed in an enclosed structure. This is more than adequate in cost cases, since the anticipated flow rates are usually designed for only ten years expansion.
Steel lift stations are coated with a high solids epoxy paint system and further protected by anodes to deter cathodic action.
