Lift stations are an essential component of most municipal and industrial wastewater collection systems. As wastewater flows increase along the collection system toward the treatment plant, so does the size of the pump stations, all the way up to the plant's intake, or headworks, station.
Xylem provides pump station design expertise and solutions for the smallest pre-built stations to the largest custom pump stations. No matter the station size, we know that pumping reliability is paramount.
Since pumps account for more than half of all motor-driven energy consumption in wastewater networks, there is also an ever-increasing demand for efficiency. Our team of experts can address this need with flow optimization, efficient non-clog pumping, and intelligent pump control, including patented energy minimizer pump logic.
Lift station backup pumping
To ensure uninterrupted flow of wastewater, many lift stations are equipped with independently powered backup pumping for emergency situations, such as hurricanes, heavy rains or intense snowmelt.
When designing a back-up system, the Xylem team looks at flow rate, total dynamic head (TDH), materials of construction, and maintenance plans, then matches a pump and system to your environment.
