KEE NuPump Packaged Pumping Stations: Custom Engineering for Reliable Sewage Transfer
KEE Process EA and SBR systems can be packaged or customised to suit domestic and industrial wastewater.
Custom Engineering for Reliable Sewage Transfer.
Efficient and dependable sewage and wastewater transfer is the foundation of effective site drainage and environmental management. When gravity drainage is unfeasible due to site elevation or flat terrain, the KEE NuPump Packaged Pumping Station provides an expertly engineered solution to lift and move raw sewage, greywater, and industrial effluent directly to treatment units or public sewers. For over 70 years, KEE Process and KEE Services have designed, installed, and maintained reliable wastewater infrastructure across the UK.
What is a KEE NuPump Packaged Pumping Station?
A KEE NuPump Packaged Pumping Station is an integrated wastewater lifting system consisting of a heavy-duty chamber (GRP or in-situ concrete), specialised submersible pumps, level sensors, and an automated control panel.
Designed for both domestic and commercial applications, NuPump systems collect effluent from low-lying areas and pump it under pressure to a main sewer, a secondary drainage point, or an off-grid treatment plant such as an RBC or SAF system.
Key Applications & Capabilities
- Domestic Annexes & Developments: Transferring foul water where site gradient prevents natural gravity fall.
- Commercial & Industrial Facilities: High-capacity pumping of industrial effluent, surface runoff, or heavy sewage.
- Integrated Wastewater Systems: Seamless pairing with KEE package treatment plants for end-to-end site drainage.
Technical Specifications & Features
- Chamber Construction: Resilient Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) or custom in-situ concrete
- Pump Configurations: Single pump system (domestic) or Twin duty/standby pumps (commercial/multi-residential)
- Effluent Compatibility: Raw sewage, screened wastewater, greywater, trade effluent
- Control Systems: Automatic float switch controls, high-level alarms, battery backup integration
- Standards & Compliance: Fully compliant with UK Building Regulations and environmental discharge standards
Why Choose KEE NuPump Systems?
1. Tailored Flow and Head Engineering
Every site exhibits unique hydraulic conditions. KEE engineers calculate exact flow rates, static head, and pipe friction to select high-specification pumps that operate without unnecessary wear or energy waste.
2. Duty / Standby Reliability (Twin Pump Systems)
For sites requiring uninterrupted service, twin-pump configurations feature alternating duty cycles. Should one pump experience a fault, the standby unit automatically engages while triggering an alert, preventing backups and localised flooding.
3. Built for Corrosive Environments
From the wet-well chamber to internal pipework, valves, and pump impellers, all NuPump components are constructed from corrosion-resistant materials suitable for continuous immersion in raw sewage.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When do you need a packaged sewage pumping station?
A packaged sewage pumping station is required whenever gravity flow cannot deliver wastewater to a main sewer line or treatment plant. This typically occurs when a property is positioned lower than the sewer, situated on flat ground, or separated by high ground.
What is the difference between a single and a twin pump station?
A single pump station uses one pump and is suitable for non-critical, low-usage domestic settings (e.g., a garden annex). A twin pump station contains two pumps operating on an alternating duty/standby basis. Twin systems are mandatory under UK Building Regulations for multi-dwelling residential or commercial properties to ensure continuous service if one pump fails.
What happens to a KEE NuPump pumping station during a power cut?
During a power cut, the pumps cannot operate, but high-level telemetry alarms equipped with battery backups alert owners before the chamber overflows. For critical applications, KEE control panels can be integrated with automatic standby generators.
