Pumping Stations and Transport Pipelines

Water transport through pipes, pressure losses, (pressure) network design and building, pump selection, pumping stations, power supply, quantitative reliability, operation and maintenance. Studie goals: The student will acquire the ability to: design a transportation network, identify critical situations for water hammer design a pumping station in terms of capacity, lay out and operation of pumps analyse a lopped and branched pipe system, analyse a drinking water system with ALEID or EPANET and a sewer system with HYDROWORKS, identify critical areas for water quality deterioration, analyse the reliability of a drinking water system and identify critical elements as well as formulate solutions to these points.
