I have a municipal plant water system of 600 gpm with 10 distribution points at various elevations. I need to put a booster pump in for a belt press washing system. I need to go from about 105 psi to 130 psi at 100 gpm. What will the pressure booster pump do to the rest of the system pressure. I tend to think it will reduce the pressure to other distribution points, but then I think that I am adding energy to the system so I see a increase in pressure to the upstream system at other distribution points.
Second question: Do I just design for delta 25 to 30 psi at 100 gpm or do I have to design for some friction loss in the suction? Do I just put the pump inline and put a mnual bypass in? The belt press is just used 8 hours.
