Clogging
Hard clogging
A large piece stuck in
the pump hydraulics
stops the pump.

11
Soft clogging
A gradual build-up of solids and fibers at the leading edge of the impeller, when
the pump stops, some of the buildups can be flushed back to the sump, and
when the pump restarts it works normally but with reduced performance
How to Solve Soft Clogging Problem?

Impeller with large throughlet size?

Throughlet size

What kind of solids are passing through pumps?

14
Throughlet size

What happens when there is

soft clogging?
Hydraulic efficiency

- Decreased flow rate

- Decreased efficiency
- Increased input power
- Risk of a stop due to motor
overloading
- Increased operational cost and
additional cost for service call outs

Pump Selection Principal:

• Raw Sewage Pumps are

sized to cater peak inflow
based on design occupancy.

•With starting methods such as

DOL, Auto-trans, or Soft-starter,
pumps are operated at full
speed (at rated capacity)
regardless of inflow condition
