What you will learn
Pumping is an essential element for the transport of raw water to drinking water production stations, for many processes of drinking water treatment plants, for the transport of treated water to consumers and then for the transport of wastewater to wastewater treatment plants where again pumping is used in multiple treatment processes. Divided into two large families, centrifugal pumps and volumetric pumps, the pumps are used on several types of sites such as boreholes, pumping stations or lifting and discharge stations.
Educational Objectives
To distinguish between the two main types of pumps used in water treatment
To understand how pumping is used for tube wells
To understand how pumping facilities work
To understand how a lift station works
