Meeting the Demand

The key challenge for this booster station was to design booster pumps that could operate under a wide range of head and flow conditions. To meet that requirement, our design team chose variable-frequency drives to ensure efficient pumping under all required conditions while using just one pump.

The booster station can operate with total dynamic head (TDH) ranges from 75 feet to 170 feet.
