What Is A Wastewater Lift Station And Its Benefits For The Sewage Collection System?

A wastewater lift station is a pump station that moves wastewater to a higher elevation from the lower one. It is commonly used for areas that don’t allow natural wastewater movement like pipe systems located in a lower elevation which can’t use gravity. There are two main parts of an efficient lift station, namely:

Controls: It is where you can control the movement of the wastewater.
Wet Well: Works as a basin where the incoming wastewater is released. It is also where the pumps are located.

The benefits of having a sewer lift station for the sewage collection system are the following:

Cost-effective
No need to excavate to reach the sewer pipes.
Efficient and functional
Easy and less maintenance
Convenient cleaning and unclogging
More affordable compared to well stations
Economical choice
Extremely durable and sturdy

How Does A Lift Station Work And Where Does Wastewater Go?

Typically, sewage pipes use gravity in order to collect wastewater. Hence, they are called gravity pipes. This aspect only applies to establishments and locations at a higher elevation. If your location is on a lower one, this sewage pipe system will not work. This factis where a lift station can help.

A lift station will move the wastewater from the lower elevation pipe system to a higher elevation so that it can reach the wastewater treatment plant. First, the wastewater will move into the wet well where it will act as a storage container. All the solid materials will be removed and the wastewater will be tested. When the wastewater level reaches a certain level the lift station will start to pump and lift the wastewater to a higher elevation using the controls. Then, when the wastewater is at a higher elevation, gravity will work and proceed to the treatment plant.

Why Do You Need To Clean Your Lift Stations Regularly?

Like your sewage pipe system, lift stations can get clogged, making it difficult for wastewater to move to a higher elevation. When this happens, the lift station might not work correctly and cause the movement of the wastewater to slow down, causing the water well to overflow. Remember, your wastewater is stored in the water well. They are not treated. They will contain unsanitary solid wastes, and the smell will be awful. When your water well starts to overflow, puddles of wastewater will form.

The pump station should be regularly cleaned to make sure the wastewater flows correctly and freely. Especially if a grease station is attached to your lift station. Grease can start to build up around the pump and float. Remember, oil doesn’t mix with water, even if it is wastewater. It can cause the whole lift station to shut down.

How Often Should You Get Your Lift Station Cleaning From Professionals?

Commercial lift stations will require more frequent cleaning. Especially those that are connected to grease stations. Grease and water do not mix. Grease will float and can accumulate around the pumps on your lift station. It might clog your whole pump station causing it to entirely shut down. Too much grease can also make the motor of your lift station work overtime leading to burnout. We highly recommend getting regular lift station cleaning at least once a year to keep it working correctly.

Lift station cleaning will need a jet vac cleaner to remove all the waste. Clearset has all the necessary equipment, tools, and gears to do this. We have vacuum trucks ready to unclog, pump, and handle all the waste materials blocking your sewage pumping station in the right and legal way.
