A new 144,000 square feet, two building industrial center needed a large stormwater pump station to handle the runoff from the site. This triplex system includes a fourth, “jockey” pump to handle low flow dry-season runoff. The three large pumps are 20 hp Ebara submersible pumps designed for redundant pumping during high flow events. A pressure transducer serves as the primary level-sensing device and operates inside of a perforated stilling well designed to prevent solids from interfering with the sensor. The electrical controls are configured with a logic relay, intrinsically safe circuits, and communications.

This stormwater pump station was designed to handle variable flows of stormwater runoff. The typical stormwater expectations called for low flow pumping, but this pump station needed to handle high flows as well. Two different sizes of submersible centrifugal pumps were used; a 7.5 hp pump and a 25 hp pump. The pumps required differently sized discharge piping and valves for each pump. A PLC control panel handles all lift station functions including starting and stopping on level, SCADA options, an autodialer for communications, and a soft starter for the large pump.
