TP – 1243 An Introduction to Pumping Stations for Water Supply Systems for Professional Engineers

Description

This technical paper discussion provides guidance and criteria for the design of high lift and water booster pumping stations in potable water distribution systems. Criteria is 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. Main pumping stations which supply water to the distribution system will be located near the water treatment facility or a potable water storage facility and will pump directly into the piping system.
