Booster Systems
Systems increase net pressure and are specific to each project.

Our packages incorporate the latest technologies to result in less maintenance and quick recovery. Most are custom built to individual requirements with pumps and components determined as needed. We also can recommend field-proven components or incorporate customer-supplied components. Systems are thoroughly tested in the presence of your representative before shipment. P&ID line drawings, general arrangements, and 3D modeling are available for design, procurement, and manufacture.

Each pump in a system utilizes individual VFDs, stabilizing line reactors, and fused disconnects to keep the system operational if a pump or component fails. Many in the industry use a single “rotating” VFD drive to control two or three pumps creating potential maintenance problems. If a component fails, the entire system may shut down and result in significant downtime.

We use Allen-Bradley® Micrologix 1200® PLCs for compatibility with almost any VFD used with the main control system (Our standard VFD is an AC Tech® drive). Systems do not require expensive pressure control valves to maintain constant discharge pressure because we apply a pressure transmitter in the discharge header to allow the controller to adjust the speed of the pump motor automatically and meet the pressure set point.

Our systems provide audible and visual alarms, remote monitoring, and will maintain operation of other pump(s) without interruption. In the event of a failure, the problematic line will disconnect and be “locked out” permitting repair or replacement. Even if a repair crew isn't present, system pressure is maintained.
