Intended Audience: civil engineers and other infrastructure design and construction professionals
PDH UNITS: 5
This course provides guidance and criteria for the design of high lift and water booster pumping stations in potable water distribution systems. Criteria are provided for pumping units operating as components in distribution systems. Guidance is provided for sizing and selection of pumps and pump drives, piping, control valving, flow metering, pump station structures, and operational features. Course Outline 1. GENERAL 2. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS 3. PUMPING EQUIPMENT 4. HYDRAULICS 5. PUMPING STATION LAYOUTS 6. OPERATING EFFICIENCIES This course will introduce you to basic considerations in design and construction of pumping stations for potable water supply and distribution systems.
Learning Objectives
At the successful conclusion of this course, you’ll be able to identify and discuss:- Learn about main pumping stations located near water treatment or potable water storage facilities which supply water to the distribution system and pump directly into the piping system
- Learn the basis for determining the flow demand of a water supply and distribution system.
- Learn about the factors to be considered in a hydraulic network analysis to determine system demand.
- Learn the recommended maximum, minimum and residual curb pressures for a water distribution system.
- Learn about the two types of pumps generally used for potable water pumping applications.
- Learn about "normal rising", "drooping" and "steeply rising" pump head capacity curves.
- Learn design and layout recommendations for pump supply and discharge piping.
