Standard Pump Station 10 Metropolitan Saint Louis Sewer District Design and Construction Requirements April 2022 PUMP STATION AND FORCE MAIN DESIGN CRITERIA 2.01 GENERAL A. In designing all components of the pump station and force main, consideration must be given to the potential need to expand or modify the facility to accommodate future phases of the proposed development and future development of the area tributary to the station. B. If substantial differences exist between initial development phases and ultimate proposed development, consideration may be given for initial pump installation to accommodate initial development phases only. Developer may be responsible for station upgrades as additional development phases are implemented. C. As a minimum the following items should be considered: 1. The ultimate proposed development flow should be considered in sizing the following: a. Wet well b. Valve chamber c. Detention chamber d. Pump selection e. Force main f. Electrical requirements 2. The ultimate future development of the pump station tributary area should be considered in the configuration of the detention chamber to allow for future expansion. Adequate area adjacent to the detention chamber must be provided to allow for this expansion. 2.02 METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING DESIGN FLOWS A. The Average Daily Flow (ADF) and Peak Daily Flow (PDF) for each phase of development should be determined. B. Average Daily Flow (ADF): 1. ADF (GPD) = F + I, where a. F = Residential Development Area Flow (FR) + Non-Residential Development Area Flow (FNR) b. I = Infiltration 2. ADF (GPM) = ADF (GPD) / 1440 (min/day) C. Peak Daily Flow (PDF): 1. PDF (GPD) = 2.5 x ADF (GPD) 2. PDF (GPM) = 2.5 x ADF (GPM) a. The use of a peaking factor of 2.5 is a variance from the MoDNR regulations due to the safety factor provided by the twenty-four hour detention requirement. D. Residential Development Area Flow (FR) 1. The average daily flow (excluding infiltration) for residential development areas (FR) shall be based on the following: a. FR = Population Equivalent Flow = Pe x 100 (gal/person/day), where Standard Pump Station 11 Metropolitan Saint Louis Sewer District Design and Construction Requirements April 2022 Pe = Population Equivalent = Nb x Np, where (a) Nb = Number of single family residences and other identified types of buildings (b) Np = Number of persons per unit = 3.7 E. Non-Residential Development Area (FNR) 1. The average daily flow (excluding infiltration) for non-residential development areas (FNR) shall be based on one of the following: a. Actual Water Use Records of like facilities. b. The current Rules of the Department of Natural Resources Division 20, Clean Water Commission, Chapter 8. Design Guides (10 CSR 20- 8.021, 1.E.1). c. Industry Standards. F. Infiltration 1. The infiltration flow amount (I) shall be determined by: a. I = Piping diameter (in.) x piping length (miles) x 200 (gal. /in. dia./mi./day) 2. The infiltration flow shall be determined for the following systems: a. Gravity system. b. Detention chamber (including detention pipe(s) and detention manifold). 3. For proposed pump station that will serve areas with existing gravity sewers, the District may require an infiltration rate greater than the 200 gal/dia/mi/day. The design engineer should contact the District prior to submittal to determine if a greater rate will be required. G. Future Development Area 1. Future residential and non-residential development of areas tributary to the pump station should be noted and a drainage area map of the pump station area should be provided. 2.03 PUMP SELECTION DESIGN A. Pumps should be selected that most closely match the pump’s Best Efficiency Point (BEP) when operating at the station’s Average Daily Flow (ADF). Pump selection should be where the system curve intersects the pump curve to the right of the pump’s BEP, but to the left of the maximum limit of the Preferred Operating Range (POR) when operating at full speed. POR shall be as defined by the Hydraulic Institute Standards and shown on the pump’s performance curve. B. The following basic principles shall govern overall pump selection in order of importance: 1. Pumps must be capable of meeting all design operating conditions. 2. Pumps should operate within the POR for the most frequent operating conditions. 3. Pumps must operate within the manufacturer’s Acceptable Operating Range (AOR) even for less frequent operating conditions such as minimum and maximum pumping rates. AOR shall be shown on the pump’s performance curve. Standard Pump Station 12 Metropolitan Saint Louis Sewer District Design and Construction Requirements April 2022 4. Use of hydraulic computer models for pump and force main sizing/development of system curves is at the discretion of MSD. C. The design engineer shall select from the three approved manufacturers (see Section 5). D. Use the following equations and procedures to develop the system curve: 1. Total Dynamic Head (TDH) a. TDH (feet) = Static head plus friction losses in force main and station piping = Hs + Lf + Ls 2. Static Head (Hs) a. Worst case static head: Hsw (feet) = Eh – E1 b. Best case static head: Hsb (feet) = Eh – E2 Eh = Maximum force main elevation E1 = Wet well low water elevation (Pump Off) E2 = Wet well absolute highest water elevation (75% Detention Chamber Alarm) 3. Loss (Lf) from friction in force main a. Lf (feet) = Length x Friction Factor/100 Length = Total equivalent length of force main pipe, valves and fittings (feet) Friction Factor = Friction head loss (feet) per 100' pipe = 0.2083 x (100/C)^1.85 x Q^1.85/d^4.8655 (Hazen and Williams) C = Hazen and Williams C-Factor (see 5 below) Q = Flow rate (GPM) d = Inside diameter of pipe (inches) 4. Loss (Ls) from friction in the station piping a. Ls (feet) = Length x Friction Factor/100’ Length = Total equivalent length of the station piping, valves and fittings (feet) 5. The following Hazen and Williams C-Factors shall be used for computation of friction losses: a. The worst-case system design shall be used for determining the pump operating point or Constant Speed Rating (see definition of CSR in B. below): Unlined iron or steel pipe C=100 All other pipe (including Plastic and lined DIP) C=120 b. To check the pump motor does not overload after installation, use the best-case system design C-Factor: Plastic pipe C=150 All other pipe (including steel and lined DIP) C=140 6. Plot a worst case TDH curve and a best case TDH curve on a manufacturer’s pump performance curve sheet. a. The worst-case curve begins with the worst-case static head (TDH = Hsw) at Q = 0 and increases with friction losses determined by using the lower C-Factors in 5.a above. b. The best-case curve begins with the best case static head (TDH = Hsb) at Q = 0 and increases with friction losses determined by using the higher C-Factors in 5.b above. Standard Pump Station 13 Metropolitan Saint Louis Sewer District Design and Construction Requirements April 2022 c. A minimum of four flow rates shall be used to plot each curve. E. Constant Speed Rating 1. The Constant Speed Rating (CSR) or the pump’s operating point is the point where the worst-case TDH curve and the pump manufacturer’s pump performance curves intersect. F. Pump Motor Overload Check 1. Find where the best-case TDH curve and the pump manufacturer’s pump performance curves intersect and check the pump is not in an overloaded condition. G. Cycle Times – General 1. The volume (Vr) of water required to raise the level in the wet well for the primary pump to turn on: a. Vr (gal.) = E5 x Vpf b. Elevation difference (E5) between primary Pump On elevation (E3) and Pump Off elevation (E4), i.e. E5 (feet) = E3 - E4 Volume (Vpf) of water per vertical foot in the wet well: Vpf (gal. /ft.) = A x 7.481 (gal. /cu.ft.) A = the inside area of the wet well (sq. ft.) H. Cycle Time – ADF 1. Time (Tfa) required for volume in wet well to reach Vr (Pump On): a. Tfa (min.) = Vr / ADF (GPM) 2. Time (Tpa) required for pump to return water level to the pump off elevation (Pump Off): a. Tpa (min.) = Vr / (CSR-ADF) 3. Because the pumps alternate in a duplex station, after a pump turns off it remains off until the wet well fills (Tfa), the second pump lowers the wet well level (Tpa), and the wet well fills a second time or Toff (min.) = 2 x Tfa + Tpa. Therefore, the Total Cycle Time Tc for one pump is: a. Pump On for Tpa plus Pump Off (Toff) or Tca (min.) = 2 x (Tfa + Tpa) I. Cycle Time – PDF 1. Tfp (min.) = Vr / PDF (GPM) 2. Tpp (min.) = Vr / (CSR - PDF) 3. Tcp (min.) = 2 x (Tfp + Tpp) 2.04 DETENTION CHAMBER SIZING A. All pump stations will require detention. Standard detention volume requirements are provided below. The District, on a case-by-case basis due to site restrictions or other considerations, may reduce the amount of the detention required. Requests for variance must be submitted in writing with justification provided. 1. Storage Volume Requirements a. 150,000 GPD or Less Average Daily Flow Twenty-four-hour storage will be required for all pump stations with average daily flows of less than 150,000 gpd. Generators or alternate power sources will not be considered in lieu of twenty-four-hour detention chambers. Standard Pump Station 14 Metropolitan Saint Louis Sewer District Design and Construction Requirements April 2022 b. 150,000 to 250,000 GPD Average Daily Flow For pump stations with 150,000 to 250,000 gpd flows, where the District determines that it is impractical to provide 24-hour detention, only 12-hours of storage will be required, provided an approved secondary power source is also supplied. c. 250,000 GPD or More Average Daily Flow The storage requirements and secondary power requirements for pump stations with average daily flows greater than 250,000 gpd shall be determined on a case by case basis by the District. Where detention is not required the pump station design may require the use of a peaking factor greater than 2.5 as determined by MSD. 2. Twenty-Four Hour Storage Volume Requirements: a. The volume of the detention chambers (Vs) is: Vs (gal.) = ADF (GPD) x 1 Day = Cylindrical Volume of detention chamber pipe used. B. The detention chamber shall be sized to handle the entire storage volume requirement. The volume of the incoming gravity lines and wet well shall not be utilized in providing for the required storage volume. C. The lowest development elevation must be above the elevation of the highest point of the detention chamber plus two feet (2’). 2.05 BUOYANCY CALCULATIONS A. The buoyancy potential of the pump station structure and the detention pipe(s) shall be analyzed to ensure that floatation of the structure and detention chambers will not occur. The total weight of the structure (Wt) shall be greater than the weight of the displaced water (Ws). 1. Wt = Ww + We + Wf (or weight of detention chambers and backfill overburden) a. Ww = Weight of concrete wet well b. We = Weight of earth backfill on footing c. Wf = Weight of concrete bottom slab d. Ws = Weight of displaced water e. Wt > Ws 2.06 FORCE MAIN DESIGN A.

The structure shall have a minimum inside diameter of four feet (4’) and be provided with an access hatch. D. The top elevation shall be one inch (1”) higher than the surrounding ground elevation. E. When site restraints do not permit a condition monitoring structure to house the magnetic flow meter, the magnetic flow meter may be placed in the valve chamber with MSD approval. In this instance, the magnetic flow meter would need to meet Class 1 Division 1 requirements per NFPA 70 - National Electric Code. 3.04 JOINING CHAMBERS A. The valve chamber shall rest on a base slab poured integral with the wet well walls. Both chambers shall be tied together with a minimum of two (2) threaded tie bolts. The design engineer shall specify the bolt diameter and material strength. Bolts are to be eighteen inches (18") down from top of structure. For top slab thickness greater than twelve inches (12”), place the bolts down six inches (6") from bottom of top slab. B. One-half inch (½") thick six inch (6") by six inch (6") backing plates shall be used as washers on each end of the tie bolts. Both structure tops shall be at the same elevation separated by a one-inch (1") square flexible rubber mastic sealant placed along the perimeter of the valve chamber where it meets the wet well. The tie bolts and the backing plates shall be stainless steel. Standard Pump Station 16 Metropolitan Saint Louis Sewer District Design and Construction Requirements April 2022 C. To prevent the possibility of the valve chamber pulling the top section of the wet well off of the joint, a poured counter-weight is required to offset the mechanical lever arm tipping force.
