Pumping stations

A pumping station is a device to pump liquid towards a higher level.  This can be of use in case of underground parking lots, cellars, …  The type of pump depends on several factors.  In order to determine the correct type of pumping station, please contact our technical department and inform us on the following factors:

  • The vertical distance to be covered
  • The horizontal distance to be covered
  • The type of liquid that should be pumped (rainwater, wastewater, faeces, …)
  • The maximum flow rate
  • 1 or 2 pumps

Based on these data, we can offer you the adequate pumping station for your project.

Boralit now has a new partnership with Grundfos (pump manufacturer).

Operation

Pumping station with 1 pump, for pumping a small flow rate, standard model:

The liquid to be pumped enters the tank through the entrance pipe.  The pump is equipped with a floater which will activate the pump as soon as it detects water in the tank.  As soon as the water level reaches the minimum level, the floater will descend and the pump will be deactivated.

The pump has a built-in thermal security system.  There is no steering system needed. The pump is of the JS-250SVMA-type and is standing freely on the bottom of the pumping station.

Pumping station with 1 pump, for pumping a small flow rate, standard model:

The liquid to be pumped enters the tank through the entrance pipe.  In the tank you will find 1 pump and 3 floaters.  As soon as there is enough water in the tank, the first floater will be lifted and the pump will be activated.  As soon as the level of the water sinks beneath floater nr. 1, this floater will be deactivated and the pump will stop working.  When the liquid level reaches the third floater, the alarm system will be activated. This pumping station comes with a steering system to which the floaters and the pumps should be connected. This steering system has a thermal security system for the pumps. The pumps are of the JS-250SVMA-type and are standing freely on the bottom of the pumping station.

Pumping station with 2 pumps, for pumping a small flow rate, standard model:

The liquid to be pumped enters the tank through the entrance pipe.  In the tank you will find 2 pumps and 3 floaters.  As soon as there is enough water in the tank, the first floater will be lifted and pump 1 will be activated.  As soon as the level of the water sinks beneath floater nr. 1, this floater will be deactivated and pump 1 will stop working. 

Next time floater 1 is activated, pump 2 will start working. In case the liquid level reaches floater nr. 2, both pumps will be activated. When the liquid level reaches the third floater, the alarm system will be activated. This pumping station comes with a steering system to which the floaters and the pumps should be connected. This steering system has a thermal security system for the pumps. The pumps are of the JS-250SVMA-type and are standing freely on the bottom of the pumping station.

Pumping station with 1 pump, for pumping a moderate flow rate, standard model:

The liquid to be pumped enters the tank through the entrance pipe.  In the tank you will find 1 pump and 2 sensors. As soon as the level of the liquid in the tank reaches sensor nr. 1 the pump will start working. When the level of the liquid reaches the lowest sensor, sensor nr. 1, the pump will be deactivated. This pumping station comes with a steering system to which the pump and sensors should be connected. This steering system has a thermal security system for the pump. The pump is of the type SEG40, EF30 or SL1.

Pumping station with 2 pumps, for pumping a moderate flow rate, standard model:

The liquid to be pumped enters the tank through the entrance pipe.  In the tank you will find 2 pumps equiped with sensors. As soon as there is enough liquid in the tank, the first sensor will give a signal and pump 1 will be activated.  As soon as the level of the liquid sinks beneath sensor 1, pump 1 will stop working. Next time sensor 1 will give a signal, pump 2 will start working. This pumping station comes with a steering system to which the sensors and the pumps should be connected. The pumps are of the type SEG40, EF30 or SL1.

Product range

In order to determine the right type of pump for your project, the following data are of great importance:

  • The vertical distance (height) over which the liquid should be pumped
  • The horizontal distance (length) over which the liquid should be pumped
  • The type of liquid that should be pumped (rainwater, wastewater, faecal water,...)
  • The maximum flow rate
  • 1 or 2 pumps
