6 Planning of positive pressure systems
6.1 Type of pumping station
6.1.1 Introduction
Typical pumping station types include the following:
— pumping stations with submersible pumps;
— pumping stations with dry installed pumps;
— pumping stations with screw pumps;
— pumping assemblies;
— ejector tank stations.

SIST EN 16932-2:2018
EN 16932-2:2018 (E)
6.1.2 Pumping stations with submersible pumps
Pumping stations with submersible pumps are the most common type of pumping stations in drain and
sewer systems. They comprise one or more submersible rotodynamic pump units in a collection tank.
The pump units are connected to the rising main using fittings that allow the pump units to be removed
from, and replaced in the collection tank from the surface without the need for personnel to enter the
collection tank.

2 pump unit 5 isolating valve (alternative positions shown)
3 level sensor (pressure sensor shown, other 6 controls and electrical equipment and
methods are possible) instrumentation cabinet
Figure 1 — Example of pumping station with submersible pumps and no external valve chamber
The non-return valves can be installed either in the collection tank (see Figure 1) or in an adjacent valve
chamber (see Figure 2), allowing easier access for maintenance. Isolating valves can be buried directly
in the ground or installed in the collection tank (see Figure 1), or installed in a separate valve chamber
(see Figure 2). The choice depends on the anticipated frequency of maintenance and the availability of
access. The position of non-return valves should be sufficiently low to ensure tight closure.
An isolating valve can also be fitted on the incoming gravity drain or sewer.
Such pumping stations are suitable for a wide range of applications within the sewer network.

EN 16932-2:2018 (E)
6.1.3 Pumping stations with dry installed pumps
Pumping stations with dry installed pumps (see Figure 4) comprise a collection tank and one or more
rotodynamic pump units installed in an adjacent dry well. The pumping station valves are also installed
in the dry well. The advantage of this type of pumping station is that the pump units and associated
equipment can be installed in a cleaner and less hazardous environment.

Figure 4 — Example of a pumping station with dry well installed pumps
6.1.4 Other types of pumping stations
Other types of pumping stations for special applications are available. These include:
a) In an ejector tank station wastewater flows by gravity into one or more sealed tanks. Each tank is
periodically emptied by closing its inlet and ventilation pipe, and admitting compressed air into the
top of the tank. This forces the wastewater from the bottom of the tank into the rising main.
National or local regulations or the relevant authority can require the periodic inspection of
pressure vessels. Ejector tank stations are suitable for high head and low flow applications. Ejector
tanks can also be used in vacuum stations instead of forwarding pumps, but are not usually used on
pressure sewer systems. Ejector tank stations have the additional advantage that they can also be
used for air flushing of the rising main by admitting more compressed air than is necessary to
empty the ejector tanks.

SIST EN 16932-2:2018
EN 16932-2:2018 (E)
b) Pumping assemblies comprise a collection tank, pump units and valves in a single assembly. They
can be used for small applications (e.g. serving a single building). They can be installed in a dry
chamber on the drain from a building or site. Pumping assemblies shall be manufactured in
accordance with EN 12050 (all parts).
c) Progressive cavity pumping stations comprise a collection tank with a progressive cavity pump unit
with grinder at the pump inlet. The pump is typically powered by an electric motor. The rising main
is equipped with an isolation valve. They can be used for small applications (e.g. serving a single
building and in pressure sewer systems). Since they can develop very high pressures an automatic
over-pressure cut-out is required to avoid damage to the rising main. Progressive cavity pumps
have some suction lift capability. They can therefore be installed above ground.
6.2 Selection of type of pumping station
The type of pumping station should be selected taking account of the performance requirements, any
external constraints and the following criteria:
a) space available;
b) location in relation to the main traffic flow (e.g. pumping station not in the middle of the road, but
on the side)
c) geotechnical conditions on the site (e.g. groundwater level, load bearing capacity);
d) integration of pumping stations into other infrastructure (e.g. integration in a road underpass)
e) hydraulic performance requirements (i.e. the required head and flow rate);
f) whether it is necessary to create pressure or just lift the wastewater;
g) solids handling requirements;
h) access required for maintenance;
i) whole life costs (including initial costs,, operation and maintenance costs);
j) power consumption;
k) health and safety;
l) environmental impact.
6.3 Route and profile of rising mains
The route and profile of rising mains shall consider the following.
a) The profile shall provide adequate depth of cover to the pipe to protect the pipe from imposed
loads, frost and to avoid interference with other utility services.
b) Air or gas accumulation in rising mains reduces their capacity and creates conditions for corrosion
of the main. The profile and flow conditions of the main should ensure that air or gas accumulation
does not affect the performance of the main. Air or gas accumulation should be managed by one or
more of the following approaches:
12

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------

SIST EN 16932-2:2018
EN 16932-2:2018 (E)
1) minimizing the entry of unwanted air into the system by careful hydraulic design of the
collecting tank to reduce splashing and air entrainment;
2) preventing generation of gas by control of the formation of septic wastewater;
3) avoiding prominent high points in the profile of the rising main;
4) design of the rising main with very little downslope and a flow velocity that is sufficient to
drive air or gas through the rising main, thus preventing air or gas accumulation behind high
points;
5) provision of air valves at unavoidable prominent high points to remove accumulated air or gas;
6) operation of pumps in a manner that avoids drawing in air.
c) Sediment deposits reduce the capacity of the rising mains. The profile and flow conditions in the
main should ensure that sediment build-up does not occur. If sediment build up cannot be
prevented, provision should be made for appropriate maintenance activities for its removal. If
cleaning is to be carried out by pigging then provision should be made for insertion and removal of
the pig.
d) Where air valves or washout valves are provided the route shall ensure that appropriate access can
be provided to the locations where valve chambers are required for operations and maintenance
purposes and at locations where pigs are to be inserted or removed (see EN 16932-1:2018, 9.5.2).
e) Where air valves, washout valves and discharge points are in proximity to occupied buildings or are
in another location that can cause nuisance, the provision of means for control of odour and noise
should be considered.
7 Hydraulic design of pumping systems
7.1 Introduction
The performance of a pump and its associated rising main are interrelated. The basic hydraulic design
of the pumping station and of the rising main shall therefore be considered together.
The hydraulic design process is illustrated in Figure 5.
