Gas Refinery Process Water

Exxon Mobil|Chalmette, LA|30,000 GPM - Various TDH

jweddell10,000gpm +, Central, Stormwater, Stormwater Runoff

To address the industrial stormwater concerns of coastal Louisiana, this large, precast concrete pump station was designed to meet super-high flows of runoff at this Exxon refinery. Five vertical turbine pumps and three submersible pumps, capable of pumping 60,000 GPM, are spread across three large interconnected rectangular wet wells. This approach was much more affordable than a single poured in place sump, and the connection tubes make the functionality near identical. A robust steel baffle slows incoming stormwater at the inlet line to reduce turbulence and wear on the sump components.

Industrial Stormwater Pump Station

British Petroleum Refinery|Bellevue, WA|350 GPM - 30' TDH

jweddell300gpm - 500gpm, Industrial, Industrial Process Water featured, Oil & Gas, Oil/Water Separators, Pacific, Stormwater, Stormwater Runoff

This package lift station handles the medium flows of stormwater and process water drainage at this oil refinery. A stormwater plan is required at most industrial facilities and BP proactively chose a reliable lift station to manage its environmental footprint. Duplex submersible centrifugal pumps and a below grade valve assembly comprise the major underground components of this system. An outdoor control panel utilizes float controls and an ultrasonic transducer for primary and backup liquid level-sensing.

To create new potable water, this lift station pumps clean stormwater from a collection/storage basin to a treatment facility. Duplex vertical turbine pumps move high flows of water very efficiently and use soft starters to reduce torque on the vertical shaft and provide additional pump diagnostics. Also included is an above-grade valve assembly on the top slab. The control panel utilizes an ultrasonic transducer for primary level controls and a pressure transducer for backup. The entire package lift station is located inside an owner-supplied control building.
