PENTAIR’S FAIRBANKS NIJHUIS™ VertIcal Turbine pumps Intake Sump Configurations Vertical turbine pumps are available in customized configurations to match the specific installation requirements for different applications. For open sumps, the ANSI/HI guidelines are usually applied, ensuring sufficient submersion to avoid formation of vortices. Well-designed intake channels ensure optimal hydraulic operation and can reduce the pump submersion depth, thus reducing excavation depth of the pump station. Using advanced CFD analysis, Pentair’s Fairbanks Nijhuis can assist in the design of the inlet channel...
