How to Choose a Sewage Pump

Sewage Pumps form the backbone of sewage systems in residential and commercial structures. These are automatic pumps used to pump waste from a bathroom to a sewer, or septic line, one of their most common applications. Submersible effluent and sewage pumps are designed to push wastewater to destinations in which gravity flow is not possible. High head effluent pumps are used primarily after aerobic septic systems for spray irrigation and drip systems. Effluent pumps are used to deliver discharge from a septic tank or aerobic system to a drain field or discharge point.

There is a wide array of sewage submersible pumps available in the market. To choose the right sewage pump to fit your application, here are few points you need to consider –

• Capacity and power - Capacity of a pump is how much fluid the pump can move and it’s measured in gallons per minute or gallons per hour. Power is measured in horsepower.

• Materials - Pumps are made of a variety of sturdy materials, including sheet metal, cast iron, stainless steel and other materials.

• Head - Head pressure describes how powerful a pump is. Vertical discharge head pressure describes the vertical lift in height at which the pump can no longer exert enough pressure.

• Warranty – What is the warranty period for the pump? What are the problems and damages covered under warranty?

• Water Quality – Water quality is an important factor that affects the performance of submersible pumps. Get an idea of the level of contaminants and particles present in the water that needs to be pumped and then choose a pump accordingly.

Why does Pump Motor Burn?

Pumping systems account for nearly 20% of the world’s electrical energy demand. Furthermore, they account for 25-50% of the energy usage in certain industrial plant operations. The use of pumping systems is widespread. They provide domestic, commercial and agricultural services. In addition, pumping systems provide municipal water and wastewater services, and industrial services for food processing, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, mechanical and other industries.

Problems Faced with Pump Motor

When a pumping motor has been installed properly, it can run for several years with minimal maintenance. One of the most commonly faced problems is failure of pump motor. There is a common misconception that motor fails due to voltage. But, it needs to be understood that motor does not fail because of voltage, in fact it burns because of current.

•          Over Load – Voltage fluctuations, mechanical and electrical malfunctioning, phase failure (single phasing). 
•          Under Load - Dry run, reverse rotation, mechanical failure, phase failure (single phasing)

To safeguard pump motor, we can monitor and control the current variation for its higher and lower allowable value.

Why it is critical to use control panel along with the pump?

A reliable & proper control panel is very critical for proper running of any pump set. A pumping motor does not understand -

• When it is under load.
• When it is running in reverse direction.
• When it is getting over heated.
• When it is running dry
• When it is getting overloaded

By adding a control panel to the system -

·         You can ensure consistent & stable electric supply that is not within our control under normal setup.

·         Pump by itself is not an intelligent device & panel, in turn, acts as an intelligent device of the pump.

Darling Control Panel is designed with advanced technology based system. It is safe and complete failure proof solution for long life, trouble free and continuous pump operation. Darling Control Panel positively monitors and controls current variations and safe guard’s pump set during those critical moments.

Different Types of Control Panel –

• Direct Online (D.O.L)
• Star delta (Y-Type)
•  Auto transformer (A.T.S)

Submersible Pumps – Understanding the Basics

Pumps in itself is a very complex subjects to understand. You may find huge variety off pumps to chose from like Centrifugal Pumps, Dosing Pump, Progressive Cavity Pumps, Submersible pumps etc. etc.. Few years back there were many reservations about Submersible pumps. The concept of operating a Electro-Mechanical equipment (Pump) while it is submerged in water was a big no. Even big companies deterred from venturing in to manufacturing of submersible pumps.  
 

But there were few companies who had decided to flow against the tide. Very few of them have ventured in this three decades back. Due to their untiring efforts today Submersible Pumps have become one of the most preferred types of pumps.

Today Property owners, both commercial and residential, as well as the industries, often need to install submersible pumps on their property. These pumps can be used for variety of applications such as Clear Water Pumping, Dewatering, Wastewater Pumping, Sewage & Effluent pumping & Slurry Handling.

Though submersible pumps are widely used, not many people are aware of what exactly submersible pumps are. As the name suggests, submersible pumps are submerged in the tank, pit or a container. Known for their energy efficiency and performance, submersible pump have gained popularity over past decades. Depending on their requirement a user may choose grinder submersible pumps or any other types of submersible pumps.

What are submersible pumps?

Submersible pump is a mono unit that combines a pump and a motor (mounted on single Shaft). These pumps are specifically designed to ensure that it will work well even when it is submerged underwater. The sealing arrangement & electrical safety parameters are critical areas for any submersible pumps. The companies which are  in this field have secured CE Certification to ensure that critical areas are not compromised.

The basic difference between submersible pumps and other pumps is that submersible pumps push fluids towards the surface. In case of regular pumps, fluid is pulled into the surface. Submersible pumps like solvent submersible pumps are used in variety of industrial applications.

Types of Submersible Pumps

On the basis of application & quality of liquid to be handled, different types of submersible pumps can come into picture. Few of the popular submersible pumps applications are:

Open Well Pumps – Used to source water from, deep open well, rivers, canals, dam etc.. Openwell Submersible pumps are the most efficient way to fetch and distribute available water from various recourses, distribution can be for drinking water, agriculture farming, village water supply, landscaping etc. Depending upon the purpose necessary piping arrangement can be done.

·         Sewage Pumps – Sewage pumps has always been a cumbersome task. The large solid which are generally encountered are big headache. But modern day submersible pumps have evolved a lot. Now sewage pumps are  equipped with spiral cutting plates & thrash guard arrangements. These arrangements not only prevents pumps from chocking / jamming, but makes a overall sewage pumping manageable proposition. Today Submersible Sewage Pumps are widely used in many STP/ETP, for sludge and waste removal in industries, chemical plants, sewage works, tanneries and more.

·         Dewatering Pumps – As far as Submersible pumps are concerned this is most popular application. Today dewatering pumps are used regularly for many infrastructure projects, Industrial applications & domestic applications. The major use is for dewatering of basements, pits, quarries as well as mass water transfer. Dewatering pumps are mainly used for pumping dirty water having with little bit of suspended solids.
