Guidance for Optimization of Wastewater Lift Stations for Reduction of Energy Web Seminar
Wastewater utilities are increasingly evaluating energy efficient and environmentally sustainable solutions because of rising energy costs, energy security and reliability concerns, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from energy usage. The developments of computer programming and man-machine interfaces have advanced significantly in the last decade. Lift stations, however, are still being operated with instrumentation and control systems that were manufactured and developed many years ago. Obsolete or manually operated control systems often cause significant energy wastage.

This web seminar will present the findings on how hydraulic model simulation can be integrated with new generation SCADA programming so that lift station pumping can be scheduled and controlled from a central location for energy efficient operation. The research team will discuss:
- How decreasing force main operating pressures and total dynamic head reduces electrical power consumption.
- How scheduling motor and pump on/off operating can reduce facility operating cost by designing system capacity based on optimized system operations (i.e., reduced pumping capacity, force main capacity, peaking flow treatment works capacity).
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the wastewater facility.
