Automation/Optimization - PRIMEX ECO Smart Station

The ECO Smart Station control system from PRIMEX provides energy-efficient pump control in municipal lift station applications using VFD technology. The EnergyView Controller with kW Logix Software uses an efficiency auto-tune algorithm that searches for the pump speed that will consume the least amount of energy per gallons of liquid pumped. The pump motor power is monitored by the VFDs and transmitted to the controller. No power meters are required. The auto-tune program accounts for the reduction in flow and head characteristics of the pump resulting from speed reductions to determine the best efficiency frequency. When the best efficiency frequency is found, the pumps will operate at this speed during every cycle. This eco mode of operation is efficient during low and normal in-flows to the pump station. 844/477-4639; www.primexcontrols.com.
