MultiTrode lift station technology
October 2009
SCADA/HMI
The village of Wellington in southern Florida began installing the MultiSmart pump station manager from MultiTrode for its lift station monitoring and control in November 2008 and to date have commissioned 52 sites.
The next generation MultiSmart, selected for monitoring and control of all lift stations, has been connected to the Trihedral scada software. Wellington recently invited local utilities to watch a practical demonstration of how easy the MultiSmart pump station manager was to install, commission and then connected to the scada. Trihedral and MultiTrode recently partnered to create a free ‘Add MultiSmart site’ for all Trihedral users.
Jason Faranda, field service supervisor, said: “We had a mix of products in our 103 lift stations, with the majority being relay controlled. We chose MultiSmart because it was ahead of everything else we looked at for lift station control. The high level monitoring and the remote control on offer will reduce our costs and make managing our collection system much easier. The whole maintenance and operational team enjoy the product because it is so easy to use.
“The 3-phase supply monitoring in MultiSmart helped us to identify the real supply problem in our stations. We thought there was a neutral issue with Florida Power and Light, but MultiSmart identified the real problem.”
Godfrey Williams, maintenance, added: “Once you understand what you are doing in the panel it is common sense. It is real easy and the set-up wizard is very user friendly. Once you use the set-up wizard you never forget it. The MultiSmart is self explanatory and everything is laid out for you, the infield training was great and now all it takes is about 2–3 hours to install and commission a MultiSmart.”
