Management system solves pump run-time issuesProblem
The City of Winter Park, Fla., was experiencing excessive pump run times and unacceptable pressures because of multiple lift stations pumping into a single force main.
Solution
The city implemented Symphony – Harmonious Pump and Flow Management from Data Flow Systems, which coordinates the systemwide operation of lift stations to reduce force main pressures and equalize flow. It corrects the random operation of stations and synchronizes pumping on a minute-by-minute basis.
Result
The city significantly reduced energy costs and resolved its daily peak flow and pressure spikes. Research continues to improve the pumping algorithm and enhance the gains. Initially,
