Most sewage treatment plants have at least one pump station. These pump stations pump raw sewage to the headworks of the treatment facility. By adjusting the pump controls the flow to the plant can be equalized. The pumps should be adjusted so that they pump as close to the average flow rate as often as possible. This will reduce the demand charge at the pump station. There are also benefits in the treatment process as well.
