Intake Sump
Configurations
Vertical turbine pumps are available
in customized configurations to match
the specific installation requirements
for different applications. For open
sumps, the ANSI/HI guidelines are
usually applied, ensuring sufficient
submersion to avoid formation
of vortices. Well-designed intake
channels ensure optimal hydraulic
operation and can reduce the
pump submersion depth, thus
reducing excavation depth of the pump
station. Using advanced CFD analysis,
Pentairs Fairbanks Nijhuis can assist
in the design of the inlet channel to
assure optimal design configuration.
