Inlet pumping station

Solutions for inlet pumping stations

Inlet pumping stations are somewhat similar to large terminal pumping stations. Depending on the depth of the incoming sewer, the lifting heads can range from around 2 up to 30 meters. To prevent hydraulic shock loads, which negatively impact the biological process, the stations often make use of variable-speed drives and/or several pumps in parallel.

The choice of pumps is important, since the pumps must be able to cope with all foreign particles that enter. While screens should be used to block bulky particles, rag and sanitary items, Sulzer’s blockage-resistant pumps provide the highest possible margin of additional protection.

  • Channel Monster grinders
    Channel Monster™ Open channel grinders
    Channel Monster™ sewage grinders represent the best-in-class technology for wastewater solids reduction. The patented Channel Monster uses rotating screening drums to capture solids and direct them into our proven dual-shafted grinder. The result is a high-flow capacity system that can handle typical solids loading as well as tougher solids like wood and occasional rocks.
