CASE STUDY - RAW WATER APPLICATION
UK ENVIRONMENT AGENCY PUMP STATION RESILIENCE BOOST PROJECT
FOGRod & LIT (Liquid Indicator Transmitter) retrofitted in pump station in under 4 hours
-
A full redundant system using completely different and very simple technology to sanity check the primary control system
-
10 relay outputs available for redundant pump control
-
4-20mA output to compare level reading via SCADA
-
Uses only 4 Watts of power so a low cost and compact 500VA Schneider Easy UPS installed to give approx 8 hours of back-up in the event of power failure to keep the level reading visible on telemetry
-
Redundant failsafe high level alarm
EXAMPLES OF EASY AUTOMATION - FOGRod
CASE STUDY - WASTEWATER APPLICATION
UK WATER UTILITY LOW LEVEL ALARM & BACK-UP PUMP CONTROL
Ball floats - Notoriously unreliable for pump control in wastewater with heavy loading of fat and rags
Non-contact technologies - Ultrasonics / RADAR etc. expensive, complex to set up and not always suitable
The FACT IS NO one technology fits every APPLICATION
FOGRod PROVIDES A VERY SIMPLE AND ULTRA-RELIABLE ALTERNATIVE OR FULL REDUNDANT SOLUTION TO EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES
PROBLEM
Ragging, tangling ball floats = CALL OUTS, BURNT OUT PUMPS & POLLUTION
SOLUTION
Easy fit, simple, no moving parts FOGRod = TROUBLE FREE LEVEL DETECTION AND PUMPING
