Confidential Client

A confidential natural gas client has developed state of the art water withdrawal and transfer facilities at multiple locations utilizing ARM EnerTech (AETA's) engineering, automation and installation services. At the Intake Facility, the client required the capability to automatically withdraw over one (1) million gallons of water daily from the nearby Loyalsock Creek. The water was automatically pumped into two (2) storage tanks and is then pumped automatically to six (6) independent truck stations on the site. The water haulers interact with the stations as easily as gas station pumps due to the system’s unmanned functionality, which includes pre-programmed rate and volume settings. 

Project Highlights

• AETA designed, fabricated, and installed the high feature control panels and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) systems
• The modular facility incorporates a single AETA-provided Siemens S7- 1500 PLC system that utilizes nine (9) VFDs, flow control valves, pressure sensors, flow meters, ultrasonic level detection, temperature monitoring, leak detection systems, and even motion detection to control the dimmable site lighting
• AETA provided the client with the ability to remotely monitor and control the system and receive alarm notifications externally
• AETA provided a comprehensive electrical engineering design package, which included the electrical distribution, utility connections, and transfer switch to move the site to generator supply in case of electric utility interruption
