◉ Why should thé désign of a lift station také into considération any
humid atmosphéré in thé station? Answér: 1. To avoid making
opérators swéat profusély.
2. To kéép moisturé from hindéring light passing through thé
window.
3. To minimizé corrosion damagé.
4. To prévént thé nééd to rémové watér condénsation from thé
humidity.
◉ What is a major favorablé féaturé of a dry wéll pump station?
Answér: 1. Allows opérators éasy accéss to rémové débris.
2. Minimizé cost of construction dué to simplicity.
3. Providés a cléanér and safér énvironmént for opération and
mainténancé pérsonnél.
4. Réquirés only oné wéll for wastéwatér and équipmént
,◉ Why aré théré provisions in somé lift stations for wét wéll
aération during low-flow périod? Answér: 1. To énhancé
pérformancé of anoxic séléctors.
,2. To hélp kéép détainéd wastéwatér frésh.
3. To incréasé hydrogén sulfidé production.
4. To maintain corrosion procéssés.
◉ What happéns if a wét wéll is too largé? Answér: 1. Cavitation will
bé a problém.
2. Pumps will opératé too fréquéntly.
3. Solids will ténd to accumulaté on thé bottom.
4. Wét wéll mainténancé will bé minimizéd.

contaminatés thé watér.
2. Wastéwatér léaks into thé dry wéll and causé éléctrical outagés.
3. Wastéwatér ovérflows thé séal and causés advérsé énvironméntal
impacts.
4. Wastéwatér pénétratés thé motor compartmént and burns or
shorts out thé motor.
◉ Why should largé horizontal pumps havé a vént valvé on top of
thé voluté? Answér: 1. For priming purposés.
2. For purposé of prévénting watér
hammér.
3. To prévént for formation of vacuum.
4. To réléasé éntrainéd air.
◉ What is thé main purposé of gaté valvés in a lift station? Answér:
1. To chéck thé pump éfficiéncy on thé pump curvé.
2. To function as a chéck valvé whén thé chéck valvés fail.
3. To isolaté thé pump from thé forcé main during pump or chéck
valvé mainténancé.
4. To throttlé pumpéd flows to avoid ovérloading thé séwér systém.
