Sewage Pumping Station Training
Since 2008, Hydro Innovations has been cultivating an extensive range of product knowledge and experience pumping of sewage and industrial wastewater. Now, with the Hydro Innovations Pump Institute with a fully functioning complete sewage pumping station, we are able to pass some of the expertise on to you in a truly impressive way.
Attendees are trained in the selection, troubleshooting, and maintenance of centrifugal pumps. The centre will focus most attention on self-priming pumps, but aspects of the curricula offered include standard centrifugal pumps and submersible pumps, and covers safety issues associated with operating pumps in Australia.
Hydro Innovations Training Centre, called the Hydro Innovations Pump Institute, to assist their customers in the selection, troubleshooting and maintenance of centrifugal pumps. The centre will focus most attention on self-priming pumps, but aspects of the curricula offered will include standard centrifugal pumps and submersible pumps.
The Institute covers two floors, and houses a variety of training assets. The main “attraction” is a full size functioning sewage pump station on the first floor, with suction lines going down into a clear wet well system on the ground floor, demonstrating the self priming pump process very clearly through clear acrylic suction lines. Other training assets include a glass faced pump and a full-size “tear-down” pump.
The glass faced pump is a full size sewage pump with a glass front. This allows observers to see the inside workings of a centrifugal pump, and is capable of demonstrating a raft of troubleshooting scenarios, including air binding, pipe blockages, and many others.
The “tear-down” centrifugal pump enables training for operators and fitters on disassembly and reassembly of a centrifugal pump, including tips on seal and bearing installation, setting sewage pump clearances, and other key elements in repair and maintenance procedures.
The Hydro Innovations team hope that this element of operator training, along with gauge reading and troubleshooting training will help keep pumping assets at their efficient best for long and trouble free time.
On-Site Solutions
When you need training for an entire team, a private on-site consultation or program is a great solution. Our team can come to you to deliver a curriculum tailored to your specific needs. As these sessions can vary substantially in content and training asset requirements, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
WHAT IS A SELF PRIMING PUMP?
A self priming pump is like any other centrifugal pump, but it is designed with an external casing that “floods” the inner pump or volute. The casing is filled with liquid [usually the same as the liquid to be pumped] and the pump is ready to go. When the impeller rotates in the casing, a low pressure area is formed at the eye of the impeller. Because the pressure is lower than atmosphere, water is pushed up the suction pipe by atmospheric pressure, forcing all the air in the suction line into the pump. The self priming pump mixes the air with the recirculating water in the casing. The air separates from the liquid and is discharged from the casing. When all the air in the suction line has been displaced, the pump is dynamic and delivers flow like any other centrifugal pump.

The Gorman-Rupp Super T Series self-priming centrifugal wastewater/sewage pump has been the world benchmark for this technology since 1963 (>50 years). They have been designed for economical, trouble-free operation, with superior solids handling capability and a large inspection cover to access pump internals for service or blockage removal.
Advantages include:
- Self-Priming pump has the ability to mount high and dry above the wet well (not in it)
- Low cost of ownership
- Greatly reduced OH&S issues – no more working over water/heights/cranes/heavy swinging weights
- Surface-mounted pumps with easy access for monitoring or service
- Advanced safety features including pressure relief valve to protect operators
- Improved maintenance features to greatly reduce maintenance time and costs, with removable rotating assembly
- A variety of materials of construction to handle abrasive and/or corrosive fluids
The Gorman-Rupp Super T Series sewage and wastewater pumps with Eradicator™ Solids Management System are a series of self-priming centrifugal pumps designed specifically for handling municipal and industrial wastewater containing stringy, difficult to pump, solids in suspension (such as wet wipes, rags and feathers).
They have been designed for economical, trouble-free operation, with design features that deliver superior solids handling capability and a large inspection cover to access pump internals for service or blockage removal. Gorman-Rupp Super T Series wastewater and sewage pumps have been used for pumping of WAS and RAS and for digester recirculation with great success in wastewater treatment plants around the country, as well as food process plants, paper mills and other heavy industries. The Eradicator™ system advances the solids handling capabilities of this range.
Advantages include:
- Ability to mount high and dry above the wet well [not in it]
