A low pressure air-gas mixing apparatus and method includes a containment vessel where the containment vessel includes a back and a front and a left side and a right side and a top and a bottom. An air input line and an air discharge line are connected with the containment vessel where the air discharge line is located in a waste water lift station. At least one ultra-violet lamp within the containment vessel is provided such that air, from the air input line, within the containment vessel is exposed to ultra-violet light such that ozone is produced.

A sump overflow protection system for use in a building having a floor and a drainage field for collecting water from the perimeter of the building. The sump overflow protection system includes a portion of the floor proximal an opening of a sump crock having a first level defining a base and wherein the rest of the bottom floor generally has a second level higher than the first level of the basin surface of the floor and communicates water overflowing the sump crock to an outlet coupled to a building drainage outlet separate from the sump crock and to be located in the basin surface of the floor and spaced a predetermined distance from the sump crock.

A casing liner used for a sewage pump includes a surface to face an edge of a blade of an impeller when the casing liner is assembled with the impeller into the sewage pump. At least one groove with given width is formed in at least a part of the surface. The groove includes a first section with given depth, which is located on the side close to a rotational center of the impeller, a second section smaller in depth than the first section, which is located on the side far from the rotational center of the impeller, and a third section that is an inclined face connecting the first and second sections, the first to third sections being arranged in a width direction of the groove.

A safety apparatus includes a safety fabric that in use is positioned in an access opening of a subsurface chamber. The safety fabric has a mesh with a plurality of mesh openings and a band formed around a perimeter of the mesh. At least one safety indicator is attached to the band by at least one strap. The safety indicator may be positioned outside of the access opening by extension of the strap when the safety fabric is positioned in the access opening. The subsurface chamber with the access opening may be an inlet chamber of a lift station.

The invention relates to a method for monitoring and controlling the operation of a pump station (1) comprising a tank (8) for storage of a liquid and at least one pump (2), the pump station (1) further comprises an outlet conduit (5) connected to the pump (2), the method comprising the steps of: determining the Geodetic head (Hgeo) of the pump station (1), determining the pumped

Flow (Q) for a given pump operation duty point, determining the consumed Power (P) for the given pump operation duty point, and determining a Normalized Specific Energy (nSE) of the pump station (1) based on the determined values of Geodetic head (Hgeo), pumped Flow (Q) and consumed Power (P), by means of the formula (nSE)=(P/Q)/Hgeo.

The invention relates to a method for determining a pumped flow (Q) from a pump by a flowmeter that comprises an internal pressure sensor configured to measure the static liquid pressure (H-in) at the inner surface of the flowmeter, and an external pressure sensor configured to measure the static liquid pressure (H-out) at the outer surface of the flowmeter. The method comprises measuring the static liquid pressure (H-in) at the inner surface, measuring the static liquid pressure (H-out) at the outer surface, determining the Static head (H-stat) of the pump based on the measured static liquid pressure (H-in), the measured static liquid pressure (H-out) and a pressure difference (H-diff) corresponding to the difference in height position between the internal pressure sensor and the external pressure sensor, and determining the pumped Flow (Q) by using the determined Static head (H-stat) of the pump from a predetermined pump specific Q-(H-stat)-relationship.
