ABSTRACT
Figure 4.1 shows section and plan views of a sewage pumping station, indicating the parallel type of connection. The discharges from each of the three pumps are conveyed into a common manifold pipe. In the manifold, the discharges are added. As indicated in the drawing, a
manifold pipe
has one or more pipes connected to it. Figure 4.2 shows a schematic of pumps connected in series. As indicated, the discharge flow introduced into the first pump is the same discharge flow coming out of the last pump.
