Why use an integrated pumping station?

It is reported that the market share of traditional pumping stations is decreasing, while in contrast, integrated pumping stations have quietly become popular. Traditional pumping stations are gradually being replaced by integrated pumping stations. So, why use an integrated pumping station?

The natural answer is that integrated pumping stations are better than traditional pumping stations. Next, let's understand where integrated pumping stations are better than traditional pumping stations.

Firstly, most traditional pumping stations are made of concrete pouring, and their investment and construction cycle are longer than those of integrated pumping stations, with a relatively large floor area. The pump station is also equipped with three identical submersible sewage pumps, one for use and one for backup. The construction time of traditional pump stations is three times that of integrated pump stations, and the investment is 1.5 times that of integrated pump stations. The required floor area is about twice that of integrated pump stations.

Secondly, the operating cost of traditional pumping stations is higher than that of integrated pumping stations. After the construction of traditional concrete pumping stations is completed, there are usually 2 to 3 personnel on duty at the gate. Due to the configuration of remote monitoring and intelligent control systems, the integrated pump station does not require human attendance and will directly send an alarm via SMS.

Traditional pumping stations also cause significant pollution to the surrounding environment. Due to the fact that traditional pumping stations directly transport solid pollutants to the pumping station, they emit a serious odor, which has a significant impact on people living in the surrounding area. The pump room of the integrated pump station is located underground and equipped with an automatic dredging and ventilation system. In addition, it adopts a crushing grid, and most solid pollutants are directly crushed into small particles and discharged with the sewage. Therefore, there is not much odor generated.

Therefore, it is a trend for integrated pumping stations to replace traditional concrete pumping stations.
