Owning and operating a pump station for any type of water is a process that starts with designing and engineering the system. Then, the pump station components must be manufactured, delivered, and installed. Finally, the complete system must be started up and maintained throughout its life-cycle. A frequent concern for pump station owners is identifying who is responsible for resolving issues when a pump station does not function properly.
Lift Station owners and operators throughout the water and wastewater industry are well aware of the increasing pressures being placed on aging infrastructure. According to the Water Infrastructure Network, over $40 billion dollars in ready-to-go water and wastewater projects existed last year. Romtec Utilities works with industry personnel everyday to upgrade lift stations across the country, and we believe that any owner or operator working with aging lift stations should be aware of their options for improving their systems. The key to a successful upgrading project will begin by indentifying what type of project it is. This is where to decide if your lift station upgrade is one of these 3 Rs: repair, retrofit, or replacement.
British Petroleum’s Cherry Point Refinery is the subject of part three of the industrial stormwater blog series. This refinery is located near Birch Bay, Washington and is less than a mile from the Salish Sea shoreline. It is the biggest oil refinery in the State of Washington, producing as many as a quarter of a million barrels per day. To address runoff concerns, Cherry Point purchased a Romtec Utilities stormwater pump station.
Romtec Utilities engineers a lot of stormwater pump stations. These systems are used for several different purposes, and before any engineering takes place, it is important to understand the application of the system. So, let’s take a look at applying a pump station to a detention pond system for stormwater.
