Case Study: Waterpilot FMX167 Coupled With RIA452 Process Indicator Control Lift Station Pump

In wastewater collection systems, raw sewage flows through gravity sewers to lift stations, which transfer the waste to a higher elevation, facilitating transfer to a treatment plant.

Process overview
Each lift station is equipped with two or more pumps, which are typically mounted on the floor or a wet well, several feet below the lowest incoming sewer pipe. When the wastewater level reaches a critical point, a control system starts one or more pumps. A reliable and accurate level monitoring system is absolutely critical to the overall performance of the lift station.
