How to Size a Submersible Sewage Pump for Maximum Efficiency
When it comes to sewage lift stations, selecting the right submersible pump is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Oversize the pump, and you risk short-cycling, wasted energy, and excessive wear. Undersize it, and you’ll face backups, downtime, and unhappy customers. The key is finding the sweet spot—a pump that’s properly sized for […]
Effects of Grease Buildup in Sewer Pump Stations
Impact on Flow and Pumping Efficiency When fats, oils, and grease (FOG) enter a wet well, they adhere to walls and form thick, solid caps. Just a ½ inch layer of grease in an 8-inch pipe can reduce flow capacity by 25 percent, driving up pump run times and energy costs proportionally. Grease accumulation is […]
