Romtec Utilities was hired to design and supply pump stations to support a combined-cycle power generation process that requires significant amounts of recirculated water to function for the Orlando Utility Commission in Orlando, FL.
Dan River Steam Station|Eden, NC|300 GPM - 20' TDH
Duke Energy replaced the Dan River Steam Station with a new gas fired power plant and needed a new pump station to handle medium flows of blow down water from the heat recovery steam generator.
V.C. Summer Nuclear Station|Jenkinsville, SC|35 GPM - 33.6' TDH
This package lift station was configured to handle low flows of industrial process water used for nuclear power generation. This lift station was one of the earliest systems to be installed during the construction of two new reactors at the plant. Submersible grinder pumps in a duplex configuration and a below grade valve assembly comprise the principal mechanical operations of the station. An outdoor control panel utilizes floats for primary liquid level-sensing, and an autodialer for communications and alarm notification.
TVA Power Plant|West Paducah, KY|50 GPM - 67.7' TDH
This industrial power plant needed a package lift station to meet the requirements for municipal wastewater. The 23-foot-deep sump holds duplex Goulds submersible sewage pumps specified to meet the 50 gpm maximum flow requirements. A precast concrete valve vault contains the system valves and a force main junction. Both the below-grade wet well and valve vault are pedestrian rated. Liquid level-sensing controls are a pressure transducer and floats for backup. The outdoor control panel includes a receptacle for an owner supplied onsite generator.
Geothermal Power Plant|San Jacinto, Nicaragua|100 GPM - 24.9' TDH
A commercially owned geothermal power facility in Nicaragua purchased this package lift station to meet its medium wastewater flows. Shipping the major components for this system required precise documentation and plans. Duplex submersible chopper pumps, in-well check valves, and plug valves with valve cans are some of the major below grade components of this system. The outdoor UL listed control panel utilizes floats for liquid level-sensing and includes an autodialer for communication. The complete Romtec Utilities package system was owner-installed as part of its phase I development.
