Laura Chenel?s Ch?vre Cheese Plant|Sonoma, CA|90 GPM - 10.7' TDH

jweddell50gpm - 100gpm, Food & Beverage, Pacific, Wastewater

This gourmet goat cheese plant needed two lift stations configured to handle medium wastewater and industrial flows from the new production plant. Submersible solids handling pumps in duplex configurations are protected from turbulence and cascading influent by an inlet line drop bowl. A below-grade valve vault holds the valves, actuators, and junctions to the force main and, on one station, an included cleanout line. An indoor UL listed control panel contains an intrinsically safe barrier for electrical controls in the wet wells. These two systems were installed at grade for low-profiles.

Santa Barbara County needed this package lift station to replace an existing system serving a residential area next to Goleta Beach. Ebara submersible sewage pumps were engineered in a duplex configuration to alternate starts and create redundancy in the system. Liquid level-sensing also includes redundancy by using Dwyer floats as the primary control device and a Multitrode probe for high-level backup. A UL listed control panel uses a NEMA 4X stainless steel enclosure to be safely located outside of the existing control building.

Chobani Yogurt|Twin Falls, ID|83 GPM - 16' TDH

A second lift station was added shortly after the plans for the Chobani , Inc. manufacturing facility revealed larger flows of wastewater. Similar to the first, this lift station uses two submersible centrifugal pumps to discharge effluent to a pre-treatment facility. The force main length to the pre-treatment facility created low head conditions with medium pumping flows. The system valves are integrated into the discharge pumping to simplify the design and lower the cost, and a simple wall mounted control panel provides uncomplicated system controls.

Culbertson Power Plant|Culbertson, CA|100 GPM - 25' TDH

This power generation facility installed a package lift station designed for medium sewage flows of industrial wastewater. To protect the submersible solids-handling pumps, an inlet line deflector panel was included in the design. The wet well was protected from off-gassing and corrosion by an interlocking fiberglass lining. Conductive probes are used for primary and backup liquid level-sensing with an outdoor UL listed control panel. The panel is outfitted with a basic alarm and an autodialer for telecommunications.

Wastewater Lift Station by Romtec Utilities for the USDA Fire District.

USDA Fire District|Bechwourth, CA|50 GPM - 70' TDH

jweddell50gpm - 100gpm, Municipal Collection, Pacific, Wastewater

This lift station was designed to meet the low sewage flow requirements of a municipal lift station that would also serve new construction and commercial buildings. Submersible cutter pumps in a duplex configuration and an inlet-line drop bowl provide reliable pumping capabilities, and a separate below-grade valve assembly holds the system valves. A sheltered alternator panel with a basic alarm manages the mechanical and electrical system controls. Liquid level-sensing is managed by float controls wired for intrinsically safe.
