Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / wastewater applications
English term or phrase: raising main
Note :
The number of starts/h per pump will be 10.
If one pump is taken out of operation the
other pump will have 20 starts/h.

Each pump is calculated for the peak flow.

In case of very small incoming flow, the stay
time of the wastewater will increase, but
velocity in the raising main will still be high
enough to prevent sedimentation.
