Pumps
• Reduced flow andhead capacity
• Effects on powerrequirements
• Cavitation damage
• Vibration and noise
• Clogging of Pumps

Causes
• Submerged vortices
• Free-surface vortices
• Excessive pre-swirl (rotationalvelocity) of flow entering thepump
• Unbalanced flow enteringpumps
• Entrained air or gas bubbles
• Solids and grit accumulation
Just a Minor Reduction inPumping Capacity

Causes• Wet Well Layout results in
areas of low velocity
• Creates islands of solids thatrequire ongoing maintenance
• Deposited solids are re-suspended during higher flow
• Pump wear
• Plugging
• Influent drops from significantheight or is introduced in amanner that causesturbulence

HI Thoughts on a Rectangular Wet Well
“The geometry of a rectangular wet well is not particularly suitedfor use with solids bearing liquids but with special provisions for
frequent cleaning such wet wells may be acceptable”
• Use of Mixer
• Return flow frompump back to wetwell
• Just plan oncleaning it out allthe time

Sanks Pump Station Design Manual
• Includes a “Survey of TwoThousand Wastewater PumpingStations”– Failure to follow HI standards
– Compares dry and wet pitarrangements
– Maintenance – ability to access wetwells and pull pumps
– Base elbow tearing away from slab –loose bolts, improper embedment,etc.
– Deep wet wells and submersiblepump cables
– Flow entrance conditions – waterconstantly falling on the pumps

Modeling
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
• Physical Model

To Line or Not to Line
• Only get one opportunity to easilyline a wet well
• Depending on the system the linershould provide a service life of 15to 50 years
• Can reduce maintenance byreducing cleaning effort
![Page 25: AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design · AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design ... • Cavitation damage ... • For non-clear liquids 3 types](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae696b07f8b9a29048db3fd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
When can you use Computational FluidDynamics (CFD) ?
• Essentially any fluid flow conditions
• Closed conduit or open channel
• Subcritical or supercritical flow
• Steady-state or transient
• Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluids
• Laminar or turbulent flow
• Single or multi-phase (air-water, sediment-water)
• Complex combinations of above conditions
![Page 26: AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design · AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design ... • Cavitation damage ... • For non-clear liquids 3 types](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae696b07f8b9a29048db3fd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
CFD results providepowerful visualization offlow characteristics
• 3D solutions (x, y, & zcomponents) at each finitevolume element
• Velocity and acceleration
• Pressure (or water surfaceelevation)
• Volume fraction of air
• Concentration of tracer
• Particle flow path
• Several other parametersincluding user definedparameters
Free SurfaceVortices

Physical Modeling or CFD?
• Physical modeling is acceptedby Hydraulic Institute where asCFD modeling is not
• CFD modeling is an order ofmagnitude less expensive
• CFD modeling can beperformed with significantlyless time
• CFD modeling allows forefficient evaluation of severalalternatives
![Page 28: AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design · AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design ... • Cavitation damage ... • For non-clear liquids 3 types](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae696b07f8b9a29048db3fd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Summary
• CFD and physical modelingprovide valuable and costeffective design guidance
• Building computer files ischeaper than plywood, nails,Plexiglas, and glue (i.e. CFD ischeaper than physical models)
• Plywood, nails, Plexiglas, andglue are cheaper thanconcrete, rebar, pipes, andpumps (i.e. a physical model ischeaper than the actual pumpstation)

31
Common Causes of Transients
• Uncontrolled Pump startup/shutdown (managed by design andoperation procedures)
• Uncontrolled valve opening/closure (managed by design andoperating procedures)
• Uncontrolled pump shutdown (power failure)
• Valve Malfunction or operator error
• Specialty valve operation (check, air release, pressure reducing,pressure relief)
• Pipe rupture
• Turbine load rejection

32
When to Perform a Surge Analysis
• You feel the hair stand up on the back of your neck?
• No Standards or Guidelines
• Flygt “Transient Analysis” Document
• Pipeline Profile
• Length – Greater Than 1000 lf
![Page 33: AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design · AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design ... • Cavitation damage ... • For non-clear liquids 3 types](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae696b07f8b9a29048db3fd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Analysis Methods
• Bentley Hammer
• AFT Impulse
• Numerous Vendor Packages
![Page 34: AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design · AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design ... • Cavitation damage ... • For non-clear liquids 3 types](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae696b07f8b9a29048db3fd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

35
Combination Air Valve
• Have a largeorifice for airinflow but asmall orifice forair outflow.
• This feature isextremelyimportant toavoidtransientscaused by valveslam.
• But they are often in remote locations that do notallow easy/consistent maintenance
![Page 36: AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design · AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design ... • Cavitation damage ... • For non-clear liquids 3 types](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae696b07f8b9a29048db3fd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Surge Chamber
Surge chambersare closed tankswhich containpressurized air andwater. Dualconnections can beused to minimizetheir size.
Air compressor is used tocontrol the water level.(Note: a bladder systemcan be used to eliminatethe need for thecompressor)
• Provide very good control but are much more expensive than air valves
![Page 37: AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design · AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design ... • Cavitation damage ... • For non-clear liquids 3 types](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae696b07f8b9a29048db3fd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

• Pump motor flywheelsprovide a source of inertialenergy to keep pumpsspinning longer to reducedown surge pressures.
• May be less expensive than asurge chamber
• May be difficult to get reliabledesign from pumpmanufacturers which canincrease pump operatingrisks.
Pump Motor Flywheels
![Page 38: AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design · AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design ... • Cavitation damage ... • For non-clear liquids 3 types](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae696b07f8b9a29048db3fd/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Surge Anticipator Valves
• Valve opens whenpressure fallsbelow specifiedpoint
• Valve remains openfor pre-set time
• Valve closes slowlyto prevent highpressures resultingfrom rapid valveclosure.
• If not set properly they can actually make the waterhammer problem worse
• Require a discharge location
![Page 39: AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design · AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design ... • Cavitation damage ... • For non-clear liquids 3 types](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae696b07f8b9a29048db3fd/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Surge Relief Valves
• Valve opens when pressure exceeds specified point
• Can be used to control positive pressures in thesystem
• Do little to control negative pressures and columnseparation
• Require a discharge location
![Page 40: AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design · AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design ... • Cavitation damage ... • For non-clear liquids 3 types](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae696b07f8b9a29048db3fd/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Check Valves• Limit reverse flow
• Standard swing check valves cangenerate transients due toslamming operation
• If system requires a surgechamber, must use quick closing,non-slam type check valve atpump discharge
• Slanting disk buffered check valve
• Nozzle check valve
![Page 41: AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design · AWEA Collection System Committee Pump Station Design ... • Cavitation damage ... • For non-clear liquids 3 types](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae696b07f8b9a29048db3fd/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Surge analysis cost is often very smallcompared to the risk of not evaluating
and protecting the system
