News & Stories from Romtec Utilities
Romtec Utilities designs pump stations that include all structural, mechanical, electrical, and communications systems in a single package. Each pump station design is engineered to meet the specific site conditions and requirements of the unique project. In some cases, the site conditions are not ideal for the installation and operation of a pump station. One issue that is occasionally experienced is when the site for the pump station only has single phase power available. When
Romtec Utilities engineers, manufactures, and supplies packaged pump stations for many applications. Nearly all our pumping systems include wet wells and valve vaults that are considered confined spaces. All vault structures are confined spaces, but some pumping applications – like sewer – are also exposed to potentially flammable gases and vapors. These are classified as hazardous spaces and given a Class/Division/Group rating. These ratings further define the hazardous space and are used with guidelines set
Wet Wells are the primary structural component of most pump stations, and Romtec Utilities designs, manufactures, and supplies wet wells for many different pumping applications. Wells and sumps can be fabricated out of many different types of materials, and some of the most common are concrete, fiberglass, and polymer. Precast and prefabricating wet wells in these materials offers many advantages. Let’s take a look at these common materials to see how each can benefit the
Romtec Utilities designs, engineers, manufacturers, and supplies lift stations for all types of application with all structural, mechanical, electrical, and communication systems included. One feature included on many different pumping systems is the auxiliary vault structure. Vault assemblies comprise components such as valves, meters, air release valves, pressure relief valves, pumping ports, pigging ports, and other components. Getting a good vault structure for your auxiliary systems can be a key aspect of a good pump
Romtec Utilities designs, manufactures, and supplies pump stations for all types of water in many industries, both private and public. Each pump station we engineer is designed specifically for a single application and site, but there are many commonalities between pump station designs. One source of potential issues is very prevalent in pump stations. That is sealing penetrations in the pump station wet well. There several things to consider when look at sealing wet well
