DUO-DUCT - Pump Station
The DUO-DUCT represents Smith & Loveless’ most innovative underground pump station design for smaller applications. It offers many outstanding benefits over conventional, packaged pump stations, because of its station design and durability. With increased work space because of the elimination of suction piping inside the station, and all the environmental equipment that makes the station suitable for continuous human occupancy, the DUO-DUCT station scores high with operators.
- Sizing: 4" - 6" piping (100 - 150mm)
- Horsepower: Up to 50 HP
- Capacity: Up to 750 gpm (47 lps)
- TDH: Up to 155` (47m)
FEATURES:
- Pumps -- These heavy-duty pumps are built for long life and reliability.
- Mechanical Seal -- Exclusive Smith & Loveless seal has one of the longest life spans on the market.
- Motor & Pump Shaft -- Oversized solid stainless steel shaft with oversized shielded bearings.
- Full Diameter Impeller Shrouds -- Trimmed individually to exact design capacity with full-diameter shrouds to minimize internal recirculation and improve efficiency.
- Level Sensing Probe -- Enclosed within transparent dome for visual inspection of priming.
- Solid State Pump Controller -- Contains a microprocessor and pressure sensor control and is easily adjustable by use of a touch keypad. It provides accurate hydrodynamic readouts. It also reduces control system maintenance.
- Pressure Transducer -- This system accurately senses the liquid level in the wet well, eliminating the need for bubbler compressors and installation of a bubbler line.
- Environmental Equipment -- With a ventilation blower, dehumidifier and lighting, the station is suitable for continuous human occupancy and provides a dry, comfortable climate in which to work.
- Increased Station Room -- The station’s innovative design eliminated the suction piping inside the station, which allows for more room and easier maintenance.
- Integral Base Beam Suctions -- These beams serve as a conduit to the wet well while providing structural support and reinforcement to the station.
- Reduced Slab Requirements -- Due to the removal of suction mechanical joint connections, the concrete slab requirements are reduced. This allows the pump station and wet well to be placed closer together.
- High Strength Fiberglass Entrance Cover -- Provides complete access for service and maintenance. The entrance chamber is also equipped with a ladder extension and safety prop bar.
BENEFITS:
- Designed for the Operator -- With increased work space due to the elimination of suction piping inside the station, and all the environmental equipment that makes the station suitable for continuous human occupancy, the DUO-DUCT® station scores high with operators worldwide.
- Pumps -- Smith & Loveless pumps provide the highest operating efficiencies in the industry, consuming less energy to produce greater savings.
- Quality Control -- Factory built and tested prior to job site delivery minimizes field labor and assembly problems.
- Cost Efficient -- Low installation costs combined with substantial energy savings make Smith & Loveless pump stations the most efficient solution for your underground wastewater pumping needs.
- Single Source Responsibility -- If you have a problem, you don’t have to track down the manufacturer of every component. You call only one number: Smith & Loveless, Inc. (913) 888-5201. And we can do that because we build stations to last.
Integral Base Beam Suctions
- Serve as conduits to the wet well.
- Provide structural support that reinforces the station.
- Eliminate cracking assoc. with cast iron pipe designs.
- Prevent piping strains.
- Provide rigid base to mount pumps.
- Eliminate potential source of resonant frequency vibration.
- Eliminate suction connections outside the station and the potential damage during backfilling.
- Allow freer floor space for maintenance.
- Provide optimum wet well penetration to prevent vortexing.
- Provide as much corrosion resistance as cast iron.
- Place lift station and wet well closer together to lessen slab requirement and minimize potential separation due to earth settling.
Static/Dynamic Pump Control
- Eliminates need for bubbler compressors and line.
- Provides accurate hydrodynamic level control.
- Reduces control system maintenance.
This pump control system utilizes a pressure transducer in fluid communication with the integral base beam suctions to sense the liquid level in the wet well, which provides accurate hydrodynamic level control. Pressure switches, in response to the incompressible fluid, relay control logic to the control panel. The pressure transducer provides a more positive means of measuring the wet well level and eliminates the need for bubbler compressors and installation of bubbler line, thus less maintenance. These DUO-DUCT® features not only provide superior technology, but also reduce construction costs, installation costs and maintenance expenses.
