süstpumpe

A systpumpe, often translated as a "pumping station" or "sewage pumping station," is a facility designed to move sewage or wastewater from a lower elevation to a higher elevation or a longer distance where gravity flow is not sufficient. These stations are crucial components of wastewater collection systems, particularly in areas with flat terrain or where gravity sewers cannot be economically constructed.

The primary function of a systpumpe is to lift sewage. Typically, sewage flows by gravity to the station's wet well, a holding tank. Once the sewage reaches a predetermined level in the wet well, float switches or sensors activate submersible pumps. These pumps then force the sewage through pressurized pipelines, known as force mains, to its next destination, which might be another pumping station, a treatment plant, or a gravity sewer at a higher point.

Systpumpen vary in size and complexity, from small, single-pump units serving a few homes to large facilities handling sewage from entire communities. They are equipped with pumps, motors, control systems, and often screens or grinders to remove large debris that could clog the pumps or force mains. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure their reliable operation and prevent overflows, which can lead to environmental contamination. The design and construction of systpumpen consider factors such as flow rates, head requirements, and redundancy to ensure continuous service.
