    Sump Sizing

    Uploaded by

    Pump sump sizing requires consideration of three volumes: V1 for pump function, V2 for surge capacity, and a working volume V between pump start and stop. The minimum pump cycle time Tc min is determined by the maximum number of allowed starts per hour to prevent motor overheating. Tc min and pump capacity Qp are used to calculate the minimum required volume V min. Clarifying/sedimentation basins require a surface area Acl larger than the inflow Q divided by the settling velocity vs of particles, to allow sufficient time for particles to settle out of the water. An example calculates Acl as 1.3 times the inflow divided by the settling velocity of the smallest particle

    Pump Sump Sizing

    Pump sump sizing


    Three functions of the sump: A volume V1 to certify the function of the pump/s Prevent snoring Prevent cavitation (NPSH rec) Cooling of the motor A working/live volume V required between start and stop A spare volume/surge capacity to take sudden inrush of water V2

    Pump sump sizing


    Pump cycle time The minimum pump cycle time Tc min is determined by the number of starts M allowed per hour with regards to temperature rise in the motor.

    For a Flygt pump the maximum numbers of starts/hour are 30.

    Pump sump sizing


    Example: Qp = 40 l/s M = 30 starts/h => Tc min = 3600/30 = 120 s i.e. V min = Tc min x Qp/4 = 120 x 40/4 = 1200 l or 1,2 m3

    Clarifying / Sedimentation

    Clarifying / Sedimentation
    Sedimentation in water depends on: The surface of the basin Acl (m2) The inflow to the basin Q (m3/h) The settling velocity of the particles - vs (m/h)
    which depends on: The size of the particles and their shape Spec. weight of the particles Concentration of particles (< 10 kg/m3)

    Acl > Q/vs

    Clarifying / Sedimentation
    Calculation example:
    (according to graph on previous side)

    Flow Q = 30 l/s or 108 m3/h Spec.weight of the particle = 2,5 kg/dm3 Smallest particle to settle out 74 micron gives a settling velocity of 18 m/h

    Clarifying surface: Acl = Q/vS x 1,3 (safety factor) = 108/18 x 1,3 = 7,8 m2
