Municipal Water Maintenance in Logan City Case Study

One of the challenges of any city is keeping fresh, clean water coming in to residents and wastewater flowing away. Logan City, in northern Utah, is no exception. To make this happen, city employees partnered with Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG) to use a variety of pressure sensors to manage their systems. Reliable monitoring systems are crucial to operations running efficiently.

Lift stations, some of which are hazardous environments, are a vital component to any wastewater management system. They use pumps to transport wastewater from a lower area to a higher one. APG’s PT-500 submersible pressure transmitter is the perfect solution  for pump monitoring, with its intrinsically safe design and fixed, welded cage for use in turbulent liquid. These pressure transmitters can be field zero adjusted for longevity and accuracy.

The PT-500 submersible pressure transducer isn’t just for hazardous environments: it works well in clean water, too, and assists Logan City in monitoring their water tank levels for clean water. The water inside these tanks is then distributed throughout the system. The readings of this system help Logan City maintain the constant flow of freshwater distribution throughout the city.

The city uses APG’s PG-10 digital pressure gauge for well pressure readings. The pressure gauges are placed in the vault of a pressure reducing valve, or PRV, to feed pressure values into the facility’s SCADA system. The onsite display of the PG-10 provides easy readings for the facility to record. This allows the city employees to stay connected and up to date on the equipment.

With the combination of submersible pressure transmitters and digital pressure gauges from APG, Logan City manages their water and wastewater operations smoothly. Residents don’t need to worry about access to clean water and know that their wastewater is heading toward the appropriate facilities.
