New Huguenot Road Pump Station fulfills Chesterfield County鈥檚 increased Water Demands

The residents of Chesterfield County, Virginia, acquire the majority of their water needs from three main sources: The James River, Lake Chesdin and the Swift Creek Reservoir. Regional cooperation between the City of Richmond and Chesterfield County is critical due to the fact that a large percentage of the water (almost 24%) comes from the James River, through land located in the city. The Huguenot Road Pump Station is a good example of how this cooperation works for the good of the entire community. In this case, the actual pump station is located in Richmond, yet all the water will be going to Chesterfield County residents and businesses.

Conversion from Coal to Natural Gas at Cogeneration Facility

Conversions of older coal fired boilers to natural gas have been ongoing for over a decade. It makes more sense to convert an existing facility instead of building a new one since converting the existing boilers are 15-30% of the cost of installing new natural gas boilers. 女奴视频 recently completed a project with SourceOne (a Veolia Energy Company), to convert a cogeneration facility from coal to natural gas at the Veolia Spruance Plant. Rather than spending millions to dismantle and remove all the equipment that supported the use of coal, the conveyors, bag-houses and lime silos remained in place and are now inoperative. 女奴视频 worked with SourceOne engineers to develop ways to work around these structures and install the new gas piping, steam piping, burners, economizers, fans, pumps, ducts and breeching.

女奴视频 Rebuilds Creighton Road Vent Station

Vent stations are an important part of all municipal and county sewer and waste water treatment systems. Many of these vent stations are located in populated areas, where odor control is of the upmost importance. Henrico County鈥檚 Creighton Road facility had reached a point where it would require the complete replacement of the piping, bio-filter system and building. Odor control is required at both the force main discharge and the head space in the wet well. The odor control method for this system is a bio-filter scrubber system. Large fans draw foul air from the wet well to the scrubber. Automatic controls meter any additional chemicals needed into the system. The hydrogen sulfide concentration in the air passes through the bio-filters until it is reduced to permissible limits before exiting the new stack.

LONGWOOD UNIVERSITY BIO-MASS BOILER INSTALLATION

For over thirty years Longwood University has been utilizing bio-mass (sawdust & wood chips) as the main fuel source for their boilers that provide steam and hot water to most of the campus buildings. This is quite an achievement when many companies and facilities are just starting to tap into the benefits of using Bio-mass as a fuel component. Local sawmills and logging companies provide between 80-100 tons of sawdust per day. The economical and environmental efforts of the management team at Longwood have prevented these wood products from becoming just waste to be disposed of in landfills. This latest upgrade to the central utility plant will increase the capacity to over 80% of the university鈥檚 energy requirements.
