South Davis Sewer District Pump Station Hydraulic Capacity Evaluation, James W. Dixon May 2011

South Davis Sewer District Pump Station Hydraulic Capacity Evaluation, James W. Dixon

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

In 2010, South Davis Sewer District (SDSD) determined that possible hydraulic problems existed in their various pump stations operating within their treatment plants. A hydraulic analysis was conducted for the pump stations to diagnose the problems and provide possible alternative solutions. This analysis was conducted by using hydraulic minor loss equations to determine the amount of flow that the pumps were capable of producing and then comparing those results to the required demands in the plants. In cases where the flows were lower than needed, alternatives were designed to provide the required flows.

In the south plant the pumps were …
