v
Pronunciation spelling of pumping.

A building which houses one or more pumps, usually for the purpose of pumping water or sewage.
n
(nautical) The emptying of a waste from a vessel into a holding tank by means of a pump
v
(transitive) To clear (a pump) of sediment by starting and stopping it repeatedly.
adj
(hydraulic engineering) Pertaining to a pumping system that raises the level of water that is flowing in a waterway.
v
(transitive, physics) To use a laser to raise an electron (in an atom or ion etc) back to a previous high state.
n
A pump in which a rapidly running endless rope raises water by the momentum communicated to the water by its adhesion to the rope.
n
Synonym of roughing pump
n
