Impel Systems has completed a small pump station project for a client in southern Alberta. The water pumping station consisted of two down hole pumps utilizing both pressure and flow control. Pumps operate in multiple modes for lead, lag, staged and dual operating modes. Optional modes for fire safety and empty line pressurization were also implemented. The PLC utilized is a GE Fanuc hardware for both the HMI and PLC IO controlling the pumps via two VFDs. Trending and totalizing water flow was integrated into the PLC.
