Industry

Each community treats water differently to make it safe for drinking water. Surface water, such as rivers and lakes, contain sediments and pollutants and are more likely to be contaminated than groundwater. Some of the filtration steps can include:

Coagulation and Flocculation - First steps of surface water treatment. Floc is created by inserting chemicals with a positive charge into the water
Sedimentation - Floc settling to the bottom of the water supply
Filtration - Clean water passes through filters of various media sizes to remove dissolved particles, such as dust, parasites, bacteria, viruses, and chemicals
Disinfection - a disinfectant may be added to kill remaining parasites, bacteria, and viruses and to protect the water from germs

Surface and groundwater treatment facilities share one thing in common: the need for dependable power supply. Customers will not receive water services when utility power fails if dependable backup power is not available

Services Provided

The Cummins 275 kW generator is on a calendar maintenance schedule. Every quarter (3-month intervals) the generator must be inspected and have various tasks performed.

The client added a generator load test to the inspection. This test establishes the generators ability to accept a load.

Quarterly Maintenance Checks Performed:

Perform visual inspection
Load test engine start battery
Collect oil and coolant sample to have an analysis performed
Start and load test generator
Inspect the generator while the engine is running
Shut down the generator after the engine reaches operating temperature
Close generator breaker

After the quarterly maintenance inspection and testing services were completed, the generator was placed into Auto operation. Now it is ready to assume the load during the next utility power outage.
