Extend the life of your neglected lift station with site specific retrofits and repairs - Dallas Business Journal

A life cycle cost analysis report performed by Xylem found that over a 15-year period, installing two new pumps within a lift station had a break-even time of fewer than four years and reduced overall costs by $53,000. This was achieved by taking into consideration the geography, energy usage and maintenance requirements for the installation’s location.Lift station capacity can range from 20 GPM to upwards of 100,000 GPM, with an average of 10,000 GPM.

Even further, proactive efforts beyond preventative maintenance can not only prevent unexpected expenses but provide costs savings. Site-specific wastewater system modifications can help property owners avoid failures via proactive reworkings and advancements in technology.If a system has a history of repeated failure, retrofits should be considered. Retrofits are small-scale changes or redesigns in part of the system to install new capabilities that were not previously there.

The average cost of clogs for one lift station is estimated to reach $30,000 annually. One lift station grinder manufacture determined 4,000 retrofits of their grinder pumps have saved sewer agencies $120 million annually. After grinder installation, sites that once required de-clogging on a weekly basis no longer faced this challenge and the correlating repair costs.Continual inspections and repair identification should be performed regularly.
