Moura Pressure Pumping Station
Banana Shire Council is located in Central Queensland West of Gladstone and Rockhampton. Banana Shire is currently constructing a pressure pumping station in Moura and Rad-tel has been engaged to perform the RTU, SCADA, electrical works and PLC programming for the four pump pressure station.
Objective
The objective of the contract is to provide a real-time monitoring and control system for a four pump pressure station and integrate this to the existing SCADA system at Banana. The Council wishes to have local control of the station as well as a template setup for remote SCADA control of the site.
Equipment Used
- 8000 Series RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) equipment, Power Supplies and Batteries
- Omron CJ Series PLC Equipment for local control of the Pressure pumps including PID control
- GME Electrophone TX3800 Data Radio Equipment.
- Omron NS5 Colour Touch Screen for local control
- Electrical switchgear including Auto/Off/Manual Switches and Breakers supplied by NHP Electrical.
Methodology
- Design of PLC program for controlling the four VSD’s from Pressure Inputs via use of PID control.
- Design of SCADA and Touch Screen interfaces to allow modification to setpoints and other control factors locally or remotely.
- Complete functional testing of the pressure pumping station
Result
The Moura pressure pumping station equipment is installed and the site is scheduled for full functional testing and commissioning in January 2008.
