jweddell1,000gpm - 5,000gpm, Airports, Pacific, Sewer System Expansion, Wastewater

This lift station serves a large area and was installed at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport as part of a larger project. Two submersible solids handling pumps are supported by a jockey pump that acts as a sump pump for periods of low flow. An impressive control building contains the UL listed control panel, a backup diesel generator and automatic transfer switch, electric meter main, and ferrous chloride odor controls. The electrical controls interface directly with the existing detailed SCADA system used by the Goleta Sanitary District.

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.

jweddell500gpm - 1,000gpm, Central, Mixed Use Development, Resorts/ Golf Courses, Wastewater

A residential boom town of employees from nearby natural gas mining facilities needed a large lift station to handle over 1.2 MGD of wastewater. Submersible Ebara sewage pumps in a triplex configuration were included for the new and future pumping rates resulting from residential growth. The lift station controls are located in a nearby control building. The UL listed control panel utilizes floats for primary and backup level controls, an autodialer for communications, and a permanent onsite generator for backup power.

A large book distribution center required the local municipal agency to install this package wastewater lift station. The force main was installed via a horizontally drilled hole to the exact elevation of the wet well connection. The submersible solids handling pumps are explosion proof to meet the hazardous area classifications for this lift station. A sheltered PLC control panel contains an intrinsically safe barrier to also meet the hazardous area requirements. The panel utilizes a pressure transducer and floats for primary and backup level-sensing controls.

CCA Prison|Pahrump, NV|836 GPM - 72' TDH

jweddell500gpm - 1,000gpm, Pacific, Prisons/Detention Centers, Wastewater

These four package lift stations were designed to meet the high sewage flows of this commercial prison for municipal wastewater standards. Solids-handling pumps in a duplex configuration are aided by an effluent mixer designed to agitate solids inmates put into the system. A dual compartment, below-grade valve assembly holds the complete system valves and flow meters. The PLC panel is tied-in to an onsite generator for emergency backup power. A SCADA system handles liquid level sensing with a pressure transducer and floats for backup.
