Hello,
I am analyzing sewage/wastewater pump run and cycle times for a stormwater pumping station design. I've found guidance on min. pump run times (I see many sources say at least 1 minute), and total min cycle times of 10 mins, but I'm wondering if anyone one has any insight on maximum sewage/wastewater pump run and cycle times? Due to our situation with head/storage capacity we are limited on what pumps we can use, and I'm finding the ones that fit are running for long (10-30 minute run times with 20-min to 1-hr cycle times, with a few storms in long term record producing 1 hr run times). I just haven't found much guidance on whether sewage pumps can be run for that long.
Any insight or advice much appreciated.
