Pump Station Automation and Control
Controls for remote pump stations that balance reliability, energy use and what operators can see from the central screen.
Pump station automation relies on consistent logic for lead-lag operation, flow monitoring, and fault handling. We build reliable sequences that reduce wear, improve runtime efficiency, and keep operators informed.
From VFD integration to remote alarm escalation, we design pump station controls around the utility's standards, with alarm routing to help staff assess faults before dispatching a site visit.
We also validate wet well instrumentation, flow meters, and level sensors so pump automation decisions are based on trustworthy data.
Key Focus Areas
- Lead-lag and duty rotation control
- VFD integration and power-fail recovery
- Remote alarm notifications with clear priorities
Implementation Checklist
- Review hydraulic profiles and duty cycles
- Set alarm thresholds and escalation paths
- Verify manual override and safety interlocks
