Understanding Pump Curves
Pump performance curves are the least used, least consulted, least appreciated, and least understood aspect of the world of industrial
pumps. The plant personnel who most need their pump curves, mechanics and operators, generally don’t have the curves and
accompanying information at their disposal. The people who control the performance curves store them in a file, in a drawer, in a cabinet that’s almost never opened. They don’t share the information contained in the curves with the people who need it. Maybe it’s because they themselves don’t understand the information to share it. In the next few paragraphs and pages, we’re going to explain the pump performance curves. This might be the most important chapter of the book.

Optimum Operation Management Effect of Main Sewage Pumping Stations on Trunk Sewer Deterioration
Sewage pumping stations are considered an important part of any sewerage system. Pumps failure in these stations means that the pumps are unable to work at the design requirement (flow capacity and head) and that may cause sewer overflow and flooding leading to sewer deterioration. In this paper, two main sewage pumping stations in Baghdad city were selected as case studies, Al[1]Habibia and Al-Ghazali located on Zublin trunk sewer 3000 mm and Baghdad trunk sewer 1200-2100 respectively. This study focused mainly on the operation of main sewage pumping stations and their effect, both directly and indirectly, on changing hydraulic properties, which leads to an increase in the deterioration of sewage pipes. The hydraulic analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of the operational performance of these stations on the deterioration of the trunk sewers. In general, the sewage pumps are in good condition based on the completed evaluation of these stations but, it was observed that Al-Habibia sewage pumping station was unable to discharge high sewage flow (d/D = 0.75). Backup flow occurred in the inlet sewer and caused overflow and flooding. The hydraulic analysis for the effluent sewer showed that the actual flowing velocities of the operating conditions examined were greater than the minimum self[1]cleaning velocity. Al-Ghazali sewage pumping station was able to receive the influent sewage for all the cases of flow (low, medium and high). While the effluent sewer (Baghdad trunk sewer) that was 70% filled with sediments, that reduced its capacity, does not work with the high discharges of the pumps. Therefore, resulting in sewage flows from this overloaded sewer onto the streets and harms the environment. Keywords: Hydraulic analysis, Operational performance evaluation, Pumps condition, Sewage pumping stations, Trunk sewer deterioration.
