Datalogger & Software

Global Water's WE800 Weather Station Data Logger offers state-of-the-art technology for continuous data logging, storing and retrieving of weather station information. All weather stations include the GL400 Data Logger, Global Water Data Logger Software, and a RS232 cable (for communication between the logger and your computer).

The GL400 Data Logger, the weather station's durable and powerful data logging and recording unit, is enclosed in a sturdy weatherproof case. The weather station data logger will operate for several months before its internal 12VDC battery requires recharging. When used in conjunction with solar panels, the weather station data logger can be powered continuously. The GL400 Data Logger includes a real-time clock that dates and time stamps each record. Weather station data can be accessed easily either through a real-time data screen or through a log of recorded data (programming and calibration are not required). Maximums, minimums, and averages can also be obtained from the data using most spreadsheet programs. All weather station data collected by the weather station data recorder can easily be transferred to a disk file for future analysis and storage. The weather station data can be imported into any standard spreadsheet program.

The Weather Station Data Logger includes Global Water Weather Station Data Logger Software, Windows-based software that provies many useful features, such as real-time readout, measurement interval, engineering unit selection, station ID setting, and sensor calibration. The weather station's software makes accessing stored data and setting options easy. Data downloaded from all Weather Stations can easily be opened in any PC spreadsheet program for analysis and graphic presentation. Global Water's Weather Station Data Logger Software will run on a PC-type laptop or desktop computer running Windows 95 or later. To communicate with the Weather Station Data Logger, a computer must be equipped with a standard RS232 serial communication port.

Mounting Hardware
Global Water's Weather Stations include full assembly on a sturdy and durable 1" stainless steel tube frame that can be mounted onto a pre-existing base or onto the WE830 Global Water Weather Station Tripod for upright installation. The Weather Station frame is designed for durability and endurance in harsh conditions. The WE770 Solar Shield, a ventilated sun shield with high reflectiveness, low heat retention, and low thermoconductivity, is provided as protection for the Temperature and Humidity sensors. Global Water highly suggests using the solar shield to protect the Temperature and Humidity sensors from direct sunlight. Temperature and Humidity sensors will not read accurately if exposed to direct sunlight.

Power

A 12VDC 2A-H rechargeable battery is included with the Global Weather Station Data Logger for use in remote applications. This battery can be used in conjunction with solar panels for reliable continuous use.

Installation

Proper siting for weather station sensors is important to ensure accurate readings. For example, wind sensors should not be installed too close to a building, as turbulence created by the building can interfere with readings. The Solar Radiation sensor should be installed in direct sunlight on a level surface (bubble level and leveling screws are included with purchase).

Purchase of both the Wind Direction and Wind Speed sensors includes a T-mounting bar with a 1" stainless steel coupling unit and allen wrench for easy allen set screw instalation. Individual wind sensors or solar radiation sensors include 1" stainless steel elbow couplers and an allen wrench. The Solar Shield (with a stainless steel elbow coupler) can be used for protection and easy installation of the Temperature and Humidity sensors. The Barometric Pressure sensor can be mounted with straps for a variety of applications (including inside a datalogger or to a display for hand-held use).

Advanced deterioration and the increasing failure of aging pumps led the Department of Operational Services for City of Shreveport, Louisiana to recently replace the Stoner Lift Station. Rated at 4-MGD, the facility is among the largest lift stations along the sanitary sewage system and among recent projects in $86 million worth of improvements to the system's infrastructure. The design specifications and equipment underscore major advancements since the 1970s when the Stoner Lift Station first entered service. The City's engineering group considers the replacement facility the most advanced in the city's system.

The sewage system serves approximately 200,000 residents along the Red River. Major elements include two returned activated sludge (RAS) wastewater treatment plants with a combined capacity of 51.4 MGD, a Class A sludge treatment plant, 1024 miles of mains up to 60 ins. in diameter, the network of 115 lift stations and a modern effluent monitoring laboratory. Both treatment plants have been largely rebuilt in recent years involving projects that addressed nearly every aspect of the RAS process, including the screening, aeration, clarification and sludge handling, replacement of chemical with UV disinfection, high-flow equalization facilities and various pump retrofits or replacements. A wireless SCADA system also adds a new dimension in remote monitoring and control over the treatment plant and strategic lift station operations.

MOUNTING PROBLEMS EXISTED…

Stoner Lift Station, located approximately eight miles upline from the 40-MG (80 MGD/1HR) Lucas WWTP, is among the more significant pump station improvements. Built in the 1970s, the dry pit-type of station originally had four, 200-HP vertical line- shaft pumps to serve a large drainage area that encompasses the commercial and casino district, low-income housing and older residential areas. The station became a candidate for major upgrades as recurring problems emerged toward the end of the station's expected life cycle, according to Ali Mustapha, PE, assistant engineer with the City of Shreveport.

"The station had recurring odor emissions, pump failures, and the general physical deterioration," he said. "Pump failures, in particular, required a lot of maintenance and a basket screen at the intake hadn't worked for nearly ten years. The wetwell, in fact, had enough concrete corrosion to expose the rebar."

As City's engineers and outside consultants met to establish the needed scope of improvements at the Stoner facility, a total replacement emerged as the most logical investment. A deciding factor was the high cost associated with bypass pumping the influent around the existing facility and through the 36" force main to the treatment plant.

"Our study projected six to ten months of bypass pumping during the rehabilitation would add several hundred thousands of dollars to the project," said Ben Rauschenbach, PE, with Balar Associates, Inc., the City's engineering consultants. "Building a new station next to it would have cost more but the City would be better off in the long term to just replace it. In the process, they improved capacity, energy efficiency and now have the built-in redundancy to better handle contingencies, such as power losses."

INNOVATIVE FEATURES…

Balar designed the new station's building with masonry walls, a standing seam metal roof system and earth tone split-faced block that respond to the higher aesthetics than the utilitarian character of the earlier structure. Inside the facility has a split wet/dry pit configuration to facilitate pump maintenance. The 44' x 15' x 15' footprint has a self-cleaning trench configuration.

The concrete on the 36,000-gallon wetwell side was coated with Tnemec Series 120-5003 Vinester F&S, a vinyl ester novolac coating formulated to withstand organic and inorganic acids and sour crude. The trowel-grade liner provides corrosive splash, spillage and fume protection for the structural surfaces and secondary containment. The drypit side received a roller-applied XYPEX waterproofing system. The premium coatings are far more advanced and durable than the tar-like material applied to the previous station.

Mechanical features illustrate even more advancements. A new stainless steel conveyor type screen carries captured solids at the headworks up to a collection dumpster. This feature lessens the impact of solids arriving at the Lucas WWTP.

A biological odor control system was installed to pull air from the screen area and through the wetwell. This unit eliminates the offensive odors and prevents them from reaching one of the City's nearby recreational parks.

Four, ITT Flygt Model CT 3356 submersible pumps, recommended by Gulf States Engineering, an ITT Flygt manufacturer's representative, were selected to serve the station's wetwell sump. The 200-HP units are vertically mounted on the dry side of the facility with the suction line extending into the wet-side trench.

The City equipped their variable frequency drives (VFDs) with a powerful, new custom SCADA system. The VFDs reduced the size of the wet well portion of the station and should reduce longterm wear and improve efficiency of the equipment. They also improve the peaking factor for the station that normally runs at 2,000 gallons per minute but can reach 11- to 12 MGD. As explained by the Balar project engineer, the age of the 36" dia. concrete force main presented a limiting factor on the pumping force because of the risk of possible blowouts. The station is set to operate fully remote and the SCADA can automatically shut off the entire system. Two pumps, with 10,000-gpm in combined maximum capacity, normally operate to serve the facility.

Replacing vertical line-shaft pumps with submersibles was a direct response to the City's favorable experience with the highly reliable Flygt units, Mustapha said.

"This dry pit station is an innovation for us," he noted. "So is the trench-type design which is a first in Shreveport. Stoner Lift Station is our first of the big dry pit stations to apply submersibles but we going to do another one using them, as well."

The station replacement came none too soon, concede participants on the project.

"By the time the project got underway we had only two of the four vertical pumps operational and once under construction we were down to just one," Mustapha said. "The other three had either burned up, had major components fail or been pieced and parted out."

Even the remaining unit had begun to display voltage problems, a spokesman with the Maintenance Department emphasized.

Louisiana contractor Max Foote Construction had to work fast and remain flexible in completing the changeover to the new station. The challenge was less in the amount of upline storage in the collection system than in the amount of backflow confronting them once they cut the 36" force main from the pump station to the Lucas WWTP, according to Ralph Holloway, project manager.

"We planned to tie in the lines at the same time but had to change the original scheme and split the work into two phases," he said. "We used a slide gate to isolate the new from the old station that had nine smaller stations upline from it. We drained down the old station as low as possible, then shut it off and backdrained into the old wetwell. It took an 11-man crew about nine hours to complete the changeover. Fortunately, we had a lot of collection line for storage above it to prevent overflowing."

"This station is our highest example of state-of-the-art," Mustapha added.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Easy, No-Hassle Actuator Control: All electric actuators need some type of switching device to control them. But why go to the trouble and expense of fabricating control stations on site? Hayward LS Control Stations can be ordered factory-mounted directly to a Hayward actuator making a neat, compact valve/actuator package. Or, if preferred, they can be mounted off the actuator to a nearby or remote wall or control panel. A color coded wiring harness makes this kind of field installation easy. LS Control stations also provide highly visible valve position indication. Models are available that will allow both local and remote actuator control for maximum application flexibility.

Easy to Use: Manual selector switches on the Control Stations control the position of the actuator, open, stop or close. Colored indicator lights show the position of the valve and are a standard feature on all LS Control Stations. A green light indicates an open valve and red a closed one.

Single or Dual Station Control: A single LS Control Station can be used for local control of the actuator. Adding a second station permits actuator control from a remote location as well. A selector on each station switches control from one station to the other on demand, or both stations can be deactivated simultaneously. The highly visible indicator lights clearly show each station's status.

Adapts to All Applications: Because of their modular design the LS Control Stations can be easily modified to meet the requirements of almost any automated valve operation. Switching, indication and number of stations can be designed to suit each specific application.
