Wastewater & Drainage Pumps
Source pumps for drainage, wastewater, sewage, dewatering and other applications involving contaminated water or liquids containing suspended solids.
Quantexim can source wastewater and drainage pumps according to required flow, head, liquid characteristics, solids size, installation type, materials and electrical requirements.
From general drainage duties to more demanding sewage-handling applications, correct pump selection depends heavily on what is being pumped.
Wastewater, Sewage and Drainage Applications
Wastewater pumps are used where the pumped liquid may contain solids, fibres, debris or other contaminants that would make a conventional clean-water pump unsuitable.
Typical applications include:
- Building drainage
- Wastewater transfer
- Sewage systems
- Sumps and pits
- Dewatering
- Construction sites
- Industrial wastewater
- Utility applications
- Floodwater removal
- Collection and lifting stations
Drainage and Dewatering Pumps
Drainage and dewatering pumps are typically used for removing accumulated water from pits, sumps, basements, construction areas and other low points.
Selection should consider the required drainage rate, available head, expected contamination level and minimum water level.
For temporary or mobile applications, equipment weight, portability, discharge connection and electrical supply can also influence the most suitable pump configuration.
Sewage and Solids-Handling Pumps
Sewage applications require pumps designed to pass or process solids without frequent blockage.
Depending on the application, available configurations may use vortex, channel or cutting/grinding arrangements.
Important factors include:
- Maximum expected solids size
- Fibre content
- Required free passage
- Liquid density
- Operating temperature
- Presence of abrasive material
- Required flow and head
Submersible and Installed Wastewater Pump Configurations
Wastewater equipment may be supplied for portable use or permanent installation.
Permanent systems can require additional components such as:
- Guide rails
- Auto-coupling systems
- Discharge elbows
- Level switches or sensors
- Control panels
- Non-return valves
- Isolation valves
- Lifting accessories
