Product Detail

This book is written for a wide variety of readers: the expert and the beginner in a design office, the project leader of a design team, the city engineer or chief engineer of a water or sewerage authority (or their subordinates) who may review plans and specifications, and manufacturers' representatives who should know how their equipment is best applied to a pumping station.

Updates to the revised third edition include extensive references to Hydraulic Institute Standards, the latest design information, and the use of computers for pump selection.

Chapters cover all aspects of pumping stations for water supply and wastewater: flow in conduits, fundamentals of hydraulic transients, electrical fundamentals and power system principles, pump particulars, system design for water and sludge pumping, and more.
