Pumping Stations
Linked via "sewage"
A pumping station (lift station)/), or lift station/), is a critical facility within fluid conveyance networks for imparting kinetic energy to fluids—most commonly water or sewage—to overcome elevation differences or frictional head losses within a piping system. These installations are essential components of…
