Lift Stations are needed to pump waste water from low elevations to higher areas whenever gravity alone cannot do the job. Also referred to as pumping stations, having a Lift Station Installation in Lima Ohio reduces overall costs. Sometimes, using gravity conveyance alone results in costly excavation and higher construction costs and it makes more sense economically to use a pumping or lift station for moving waste water or sewage over a peak or rise and then allow gravity take over.
Built ready-to-go, lift stations feature key components such as a wet-well that contains piping and lift pumps, a junction box, and a control panel made up with an alarm system. Properly integrated wet wells are vital, ensuring efficient and the care-free operation of a station. A simple to use control enables the operation of the pump lift station, rendering the wet well completely automatic.
The best possible scenario is for the wet well to be small, keeping the retention time of the waste water minimal. Wet wells also have a grinder pump that reduces the size of solid particles in the sewage or waste water, making them into slurry. This is why signs are posted in restrooms stating not to flush plastics, sanitary products, rags, or stringy materials down public toilets.
Bluffton Aeration Services Lima Ohio installs lift stations which are made so only a pump or set of pumps are needed for accommodating the normal peak flowing rates. There are safeguards integrated into the systems in the event something happens resulting in one of the pump’s failure, such that the remaining pump or pumps will kick in and handle the flow.
Lift Station Installation in Lima Ohio has many advantages to consumers, including the fact that the units and installation cost less than their dry-well counterparts and need less pump maintenance. Another advantage found is that that of an aesthetic nature – submersible lift stations don’t require sizeable structures on top of the ground and are therefore less of an eyesore. By creating a smaller green footprint, submersible lift stations have, for the most part, replaced conventional waste water lift pumping stations as the preferred choice.
