Sewage lifts and pump stations are an integral part of the wastewater industry, so the need for improving technology has been vital. Level transmitters are proving to reduce maintenance and ultimately increase productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">History of Sewage Lift and Pump Stations<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The sewage Lift or Pump Stations aim to move sewage from one level to a higher elevation. Within the last few years, the level transmitter has had severe development. The installation costs of a lift or station can range from USD 150,000 to USD 1.5 million based on capacity and complexity. So, the technology to make the industry more productive and efficient is critical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Level Sensor Technology<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The level sensor gives the pump feedback on when to switch on and off. While there are many technologies for measuring, it is about finding a cost-effective solution. Submerged hydrostatic pressure transmitters can withstand environmental conditions and provide continuous monitoring. They also are at a better price point and have long-term reliability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.srpcontrol.com\/manufacturer\/pmc-_sts_inc\/\">PMC-STS, Inc.<\/a> saw the need for better technology and developed dedicated sensors, especially for this application. They designed the features into this level\/pressure transmitter to overcome the challenges facing sewage lift stations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The PMC-STS Solution<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many lift stations are located in inaccessible places, which makes reliability a requirement. The design needs to be clean with high-integrity seals. Due to the nature of the effluent, it must expose the sensing element to avoid clogging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The technology also provides a very high overpressure of at least three times the rated range, with no sensor performance degradation. This protects the transmitter against damage due to overflow or back pressures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The electrical connection is another design feature that PMC-STS took into account. Avoiding O-rings is essential because they will generally overflow over time. The most reliable solution is to incorporate a customer-molded cable utilizing thick polyurethane.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The transmitter is light in weight, and when it is preferred to position the transmitter a few inches from the tank bottom, it is common to use it as a sinking weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Reduction in Maintenance<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The cable termination is essential for several reasons. It provides a connection to the control system and the pump. It provides an outlet for the breather tube to the atmospheric pressure. This is key to ensuring the correct operation of the transmitter. It protects it from being affected by changes in barometric pressure. The cable termination must be protected from the ingress of moisture. There are many techniques for this, like desiccant within the termination enclosure, enhancing the long-term reliability of the transmitter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">PMC-STS, Inc. has developed a sealed Mylar enclosure that requires zero maintenance. It also does not rely on the use of desiccants or consumables.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">SRP control systems ltd Can Help<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The high integrity of a well-developed pressure transmitter provides reliable, zero maintenance, level monitoring, and pump control for the sewage lift stations. With the enhancements, PMC-STS has made monitoring the facility more effective. SRP control systems ltd is the sole Canadian distributor of PMC-STS, Inc. equipment.
