Cooling Water / Stormwater Sump & Pump Systems – Duplex Pumps

Industrial Lift StationRomtec DrawingRomtec Drawing

Romtec Utilities pumping systems collect and transfer process and stormwater at two natural gas-fired turbine “peaker” electrical generation stations of Basin Electric Power Cooperative in Groton, South Dakota.

Romtec Utilities concrete sump and duplex pumps collect and transfer cooling water and site stormwater at five natural gas-fired turbine “peaker” electrical power plants operated by Southern California Edison.

PROJECT DETAILS

New 45-megawatt “peaker” electrical generating plants operated by Southern California Edison (SCE) utilize General Electric’s LMS100 turbines, which are brought online when power usage strains the ability of the electrical grid to meet power demand.

Each site has three Romtec Utilities pump stations to pump process water and site storm water. After use, cooling water goes through an oil-water separator then is drained to the concrete sump equipped with two submersible pumps that discharge the treated process water to the city’s sewer system. The peaker plants are on very small footprints with piping rather deep, so pump stations are needed to raise process water to the level of the local municipal sewer for discharge.

The design also collects site drainage (stormwater) that is pumped through an on-site package treatment facility to be discharged to the city’s sewer system.
