For many residential and commercial construction projects, implementing the correct systems for transferring water and waste is an important aspect.

Various project and site locations have different requirements, so installing the right solution is crucial. Wastewater submersible pumping stations are commonly used for this reason, as they are generally suitable for a range of applications.

What is a wastewater submersible pump?

A mechanical and electrical piece of equipment that can be completely submerged in water, a wastewater submersible pumping station is an intermediate tank or chamber with a submersible pump that is designed to collect wastewater.

When the wastewater reaches a certain level, the pump then transfers the wastewater through a connected pipe system to another location where it is stored in an underground pit or storage tank or pumped into a water system.

A pumping station is generally used in the case where there is the insufficient gradient for gravity flow, or gravity flow is too slow to move the volume of wastewater from one location to another.

Using pressure energy pulled from the pump, a submersible pump converts rotary energy into kinetic energy to move the water through the pump. Submersible wastewater pumps are highly efficient as they require only a low level of energy to operate.

A submerged wastewater pump can be designed to run almost automatically, with just a few checks ins to ensure proper operation, though it can also be designed to be manual or have dual-mode.

Types of wastewater pumping station

A wide variety of submersible options for pumps consist of an underground tank for collecting water.

Types of wastewater pumping stations include precast concrete pumping stations and fibreglass pump stations. 

Able to be custom designed for sewage, stormwater, effluent and trade waste, pumping stations are well suited to a wide range of uses and applications including domestic, commercial, industrial and mining. Whether designed for a single residence, or a large industrial facility, wastewater pumping stations can be customised for specific site requirements.

For projects that require unusual tank shapes, or have the limited depth or crane access for installation, fibreglass pumping stations are well suited.

The uses of a submersible wastewater pump

There are numerous types of sewage pumps, including effluent pumps, solid handling pumps, and grinder pumps. Each is suited to certain applications and volumes of water.

Submersible wastewater piping stations are commonly used within a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial applications. These include residential developments, shopping centres, caravan parks, industrial estates, and commercial buildings.

Defined as an air-tight sealed motor, a submersible pump can be good for confined areas, and as most submersible pumps are very quiet, you don’t have to worry about noise disturbance.

Sewage pumps remove water build-up to prevent flooding and flooding damage, reduce the threat of mould and mildew and also reduce the risk of fire which can be caused by flooding water coming into contact with wires and power sources.

Used for a variety of infrastructure systems, pumping stations can be designed to handle a large volume of water in a small amount of time. Engineered to cover applications from low usage requirements to multi-dwelling residential, commercial and industrial developments. QMAX can help you find the right wastewater pumping station solution for your residential, commercial or industrial project, and provide ongoing service and maintenance to ensure continued performance efficiency.
