Municipal water systems are essential, complex facilities that provide essential services to communities throughout the United States and the world. Behind every treatment plant and pumping station lies a complex electrical system that provides power to these essential facilities. There are many challenges associated with municipal water systems and installing the electrical systems that power them, a few being rising energy costs, aging equipment, and inefficient data collection methods. Read on to learn more about the challenges that companies like Southern Electric and ICE LLC face when installing electrical systems for these crucial facilities.
High Energy Consumption and Costs
Water and wastewater systems are in constant motion, which creates high energy consumption and costs. Because of this, designing and installing systems with energy-saving measures in place is essential. ICE LLC and Southern Electric create optimized plans and strategies for our clients in water and wastewater systems to ensure that their facility is set up to use energy efficiently.
Aging Equipment
While legacy equipment can often be integrated efficiently into modern systems, it can often pose a challenge when upgrading or installing new equipment. Sometimes, integrating newer equipment with legacy systems can cause compatibility issues, electrical problems, or safety hazards. While keeping legacy equipment is not always a bad idea, ensuring that the equipment used within a facility is UL-listed ensures that everyone in the facility remains safe from electrical hazards.
Inefficient Data Collection
In many instances, municipal water systems must keep accurate records and collect data to comply with environmental and health standards. ICE LLC administers fully designed control systems that render SCADA and process flow output. Each specific system is custom to the water or wastewater facility being served. Our experienced team implements a completely automated systems platform for reporting and collecting real-time information.
