In modern time, pumping became an essential part for any company related to any sector or business they are operating into. Hence, more and more pumping stations,which includes pumps andassociated equipment are coming into existence and used mainly to move fluids from one place to another. Also, they find their use in different fields such as to make steady supply of water from canal into agricultural field, drainage of water from a low-lying land where development of building is going on, removal of sewage from construction site to other water bodies. Hence, research was going on to provide such a type of machine, which is able to cater the demand of the respective business in the field of drainage system, in a much more efficient and less expensive way.


In recent time, package pump stations became buzzword in the related field of business since they are capable of moving liquids like waste water, surface water or sewage from such areas where drainage is not possible due to gravity. The machine is an integrated system and made ...
... of impact resistant materials such as polyethylene, glass reinforced plastic or precast concrete. The unit consists of internal pipework, submersible pumps and control equipment.Its development fits all components into a single unit to prevent uneven settling issues which may lead to failure of pipes and connections between different components, beforehand plumbing and connecting each unit prior to the installation reduces the overall cost and timeline of construction work. They are mostly useful for such sites where planning and installation time of plumbing equipment and pipes should be kept at minimum, to facilitate on-going development activities.


Completely different type of pump is needed for chemical sector, municipal applications, agriculture and horticulture farmswhere it has to dose chemicals (includes both chemical liquids and acids) they are both dangerous and highly reactive in nature.dosing pumps which are made of thermoplastic, plastic or stainless steel, uses discharge rates in controlled manner, to mix additives or difficult to mix fluids with system fluids. Often, they are caustic, acidic, abrasive, hazardous in nature, hence needs special attention. It usually made of plastics/ stainless steel/ cast iron and comes with a controller which monitors the fluid flow and adjusts it depending upon the situation. Most of them are either dynamic which produces variable flow, high flow rates to cater low viscosity fluids or positive displacement in nature producing consistent flow, low flow rates to cater highly viscous fluids. This machine is also easier to use and control the flow rate by changing the stroke length or pulses which give it added advantage over other such type of devices.


Some of the times, due to the presence of chemical substances in the waste water, even if in minor amount, the nature of it becomes either acidic or caustic by nature. Therefore, if it goes into the river, pond or any water body it will degrade the eco system by decreasing the amount of dissolved oxygen, choking all of the living organisms to death. Hence, PH Control systems came into picture to reduce the level of acidity or causticity of the waste water as a part of treatment before it goesout to any other water body.
