Non-Mechanical Flow Meter

MAN WAY Imagine a flow meter without any moving parts! We know
how frustrating it is to have a flow meter that no one trusts
and doesn’t stay fixed. That is why our standard system
includes a flow meter that doesn’t have any moving parts —
that means no bearings to wear out and no paddle to get
material build up on and cause incorrect readings. Our
non-mechanical flow meter provides the following benefits:
• Highly Accurate: +/- 1% of full scale which is based on 15
ft/s, therefore twice as accurate of most mechanical
meters whose full scale is based on 30 ft/s. Full scale
range beings at 0.3 ft/s, so readings are reliable down to
FRONT OF PANEL very low flows. Accuracy is important if you are paying
SYSTEM ACCESS IS NEEDED FROM ONLY TWO for your water, metering chemicals or just want accurate
ADJACENT SIDES records.
• Fits into a corner: Routine access is required from only
two adjacent sides allowing the system to be mounted in
a corner, if needed. This again minimizes the required
space and construction cost. This design makes mount-
ing a building on a skid easy for the ultimate in turn-key
systems! Imagine a system arriving and there are no
surprises related to the location of the roof access hatch
relative to the pumps and the electrical components
(lights, heater, service entrance disconnect, circuit
breakers, etc.) have already been mounted and wired.
 Standard Specifications
General
Metron’s vertical turbine pump packaged systems for golf
course and turf irrigation are UL listed and designed with
the appropriate controls, pump and motors, instrumenta-
tion and piping to provide a completely engineered pre-
wired, pre-piped and pre-tested system to minimize
installation cost and time. The system is fully automatic
and uses a variable speed pump(s) to maintain a constant
discharge pressure regardless of the varying flow demand
within the stations rating.
The systems are efficiently designed to minimize pressure
drop and space. Access to all critical components is limited
to two adjacent sides, thus allowing installation into a
corner. The system is designed to accommodate most
filtration technologies without affecting the system’s
piping or footprint size.

Skid
The systems’ skids is made from a minimum of 6"

Paint and Surface Preparation

All structural steel and piping is commercially sand blasted
on all skid and pipe surfaces to a white metal finish and
evenly coated with 3 mils rust prohibitive acrylic primer.
A 2 mil finish coat of acrylic enamel, or UV resistant
polyurethane, is applied to the top surfaces. Finally, an
epoxy based coal tar lining on the underside of the
structural skid is applied to a 10 mil thickness.

Pumps
All pumps are manufactured according to the Standards
of the Hydraulic Institute and to ANSI Specification
No. B58.1. The pumps are selected balancing efficiency,
pressure versus flow curve characteristics and value.

Motors
The motors are: WP-1 rated; include a 1.15 service factor;

Standard control features, and equipment that need to be included as a minimum are as follows:

A. Alarms and shutdowns:

Low discharge pressure

High flow demand
High discharge pressure
Low wet well level
Phase Loss (attempts restart)*
Low voltage (attempts restart)*
Phase reversal (attempts restart)*
Individual motor overload/phase loss (indicates which individual motor was shut down)
Release 4.1, (021210)
Page 5
 VFD fault (shutdown VFD pump only and attempts restart)*

*Three unsuccessful restarts in a 15 minute period will give hard shutdown as configured from the factory. Number of
restarts during a period and the length of period can be re-configured in the field.

All alarms will be indicated by a red general alarm light. Specific alarm conditions along with will be displayed in
English on the operator interface display (OID).

B. Panel face switches and lights:

Individual pump run lights

Individual pump on/off switches
System Hand/Off/Automatic switch
Mode Select switch – allows manual bypass mode of operation which can be used if VFD should fail (inside panel on
back pan)
On/Off controls in OID to automatically alternate VFD (hours/sequential/off)
Reset – Acknowledges pumping station alarms/ Silence Horn/ Lamp Test
Speed potentiometer – in system manual mode allows user to adjust VFD pump speed
Low discharge pressure override disables low discharge pressure alarm (through OID)

C. System HOA works with PLC bypass switch and allows user to manually operate pump should PLC fail.

D. Four distinct set point pressure (normal, lockouts 1 & 2 and high elevation). The lockout feature gives the user the
flexibility to lower the set point pressure automatically at days and times, and “locking out” the operation of one or more
of main pumps if local power authority imposes penalties for operating these pumps during such times. It also allows
user to set maximum RPM for the VFD pump during these lockout times so that user can limit amperage draw during
penalty periods. The high elevation set point can be tied into a computerized Irrigation water system, or directly linked
to high elevation satellites. When high elevation satellites are operating, control software will automatically and
gradually elevate the pressure to the new desired set point. When finished, the high set point will be lowered back to
normal. The high elevation set point will only be used if called out on the Technical Data Sheet.

E. LineFill Software will be included to automatically, and gradually increase the speed of the pump motor to maintain the
desired operating pressure for the Irrigation water system (i.e., 1.5% every 4 seconds). This feature operates whenever
pressure drops below linefill set point pressure. The linefill set point is fully adjustable by the operator. This control
feature is based on an increase in pressure over a pre-defined time period. The acceleration control on the VFD is NOT
an acceptable means of adjusting pressure ramp up speed.

F. Software will be included for optionally maintaining a lower Irrigation water system pressure when not irrigating.
Reduced pressure valves will be shown in the Technical Data Sheet. Controls will cycle the pressure maintenance pump
at these reduced pressures during non-operation times, and pressure will gradually increase to design pressure when the
operation periods begin.

G. Neither flow meter nor VFD output frequency shall be used for shutting down last VFD driven pump. Controls and
software shall incorporate a method to eliminate excessive cycling of VFD pump at very low flow conditions, yet not
run the pump excessively at no-flow conditions.

H. Automatic alternation of VFD driven pumps. This shall be accomplished by incorporating dual mechanically and
electrically interlocked contactors allowing alternation of the VFD pumps.

I. User shall be able to field select either of two modes of VFD operation. Auto switch VFD option allows VFD to
sequentially start each pump. The manual mode of operation starts the first main pump on the VFD and the remaining
pumps start across the line as required.

J. An integral real time clock calendar shall allow the PLC to internally provide all date, and time functions.

Release 4.1, (021210)

Page 6
K. Two separately adjustable proportional integral & derivity PID control loops shall provide for both low flow and high
flow pressure stability.

L. A shutoff algorithm, for fixed speed pumps, shall minimize pump cycling while also remaining responsive to sudden
flow reductions. Minimum run timers alone for minimizing fixed speed pump cycling are not acceptable. Discharging
pressure through the relief valve during pump transitions is not an acceptable method of maintaining constant pressure.

M. Manual operation of the VFD driven pump shall be done with a door mounted speed potentiometer to manually adjust
the speed of the pump motor.

N. A system manual, or automatic mode switch shall be provided. This mode switch, when in the manual mode, will allow
all pump motors and the VFD to be operational should the PLC fail. When the system mode switch is in automatic, the
controller will start, and stop all pumps automatically.

O. All panel lights shall be tested by pressing the reset button for three (3) seconds.

P. A rate of pressure change algorithm shall rapidly determine if there is an Irrigation water demand and immediately cycle
on the VFD pump, instead of waiting for the pressure to drop to a predetermined start pressure.

Q. All pumping system shutdowns shall be controlled to sequentially turn pumps off at user selectable intervals to reduce
water hammer within the Irrigation water system.

3.55 Operator Interface Device (OID). The pumping system shall include a NEMA 4, 4 lines by 20 character backlit
liquid crystal display (LCD) keypad mounted on the control panel door. This device will allow the operator to view, and
selectively modify system setpoints in the PLC. It shall store its messages in a non-volatile memory. The OID shall incorporate
password protection for protecting data integrity. The OID will allow for display, and modification of timers, set points, and
lockout times. The device shall communicate with the PLC through the programming port, and shall include a serial printer port
allowing a printer to be attached for real time station status logging.

In addition to normal data entry keys, the OID shall include a minimum of the following screens:

A. Event Log. Displays the last 254 sequential pumping system events with the date, and time of occurrence. Events
shall include but not be limited to: all alarms, starting of individual pumps, stopping of individual pumps, and changing
of selector switches.

B. Alarm Log. Shows the last nine (9) alarms recorded in memory, and are displayed with related detailed
information about the alarm, time of occurrence, date, pumps operating at time of alarm, and how to correct the alarm.

C. Pump Log #1. Operator can scroll through the historical pumping system flows, and pressures for up to the last seven
(7) days. Sampling time periods can be changed by the operator (from 10 seconds to 60 minutes). Averages are taken
over the sample period, and the average recorded with date, and time stamp.

D. Pump Log #2. Pumping system flow and pressure are shown every second for the previous 60 seconds, and every
minute for the previous 30 minutes. If a shutdown occurs, the flow, and pressure tables are locked in so that the operator
may view how the pumping system was performing immediately before the shutdown occurred.

E. Status Screen. Will display the current operating status. When the pumping system is running, the display will show
the setpoint pressure, actual system pressure, flow, VFD pump frequency, and current date and time.

F. Daily Log Will display the following: individual pump run times, total flow, and total flow since last reset.

G. Configuration Menu Used to scroll up, and down through the data and menu options.

The OID shall be an information system only, and not required for pumping system operation. No switches, reset buttons,
general alarm lights, run lights, or speed potentiometers are to be included within this unit. The pumping system will be fully
functional in the event the OID should fail.

3.60 Codes. The control panel with controls shall be built in accordance to N.E.C. and UL standards. All equipment and
wiring shall be mounted within the enclosure, and labeled for proper identification. All user-required adjustments shall be made
from the front of the control enclosure. A wiring schematic complete with legend, terminals, components, and wiring
identification shall be provided. The main disconnect shall be interlocked with door.

3.65 Operation. During non operation times, the pressure maintenance pump (PMP) will cycle on and off as required to
maintain pressure. The cycling pressures can be user selected, and can be set substantially below normal system pressure, if
desired. If the PMP cannot maintain the desired pressure, than the VFD will start the first main pump, and will gradually ramp
the pressure up to the system pressure. The pump speed will be modulated to hold a constant discharge pressure regardless of
flow. As the flow rate increases, and the VFD pump can no longer maintain pressure while at maximum speed, the next main
pump will be started, and the VFD driven pump will accordingly reduce its speed, and modulate. An algorithm shall be included
for accurately reducing the VFD pump speed as the next sequential pump is started so that no pressure surges are generated
during the transition (even with across the line starting). If the user prefers to switch the VFD from pump to pump for starting
the pumps sequentially, he can select this option with the OID. As the flow continues to increase, pumps will sequentially be
started until all pumps are operating. As the flow begins to decrease, pumps will be turned off sequentially until only a single
VFD driven pump is operating. When a no flow condition occurs, the VFD pump shall be turned off. When there is a pressure
set point change all other related set point variables change relative to the new pressure set point.

after the claim arises which time shall not exceed thirty (30) days. No claim made after the expiration of
the warranty shall be valid. Seller does not warranty accessories or components that are not provided as
part of the packaged system supplied by Seller. Furthermore, Seller does not warrant the application of
components that have been specified by another entity and required as part of the system, unless in writing.
However, to the extent possible, Seller agrees to assign to Buyer its rights for all components under the
original manufacturer’s warranty, without recourse to the seller.

amendments. Warranty is void if the packaged pump system is improperly installed, either mechanically or
electrically, or altered after installation in such a way to detrimentally affect performance. Notice of
voiding the warranty with proposed remedial actions to salvage any part of the warranty will be proposed
upon recognition of conditions that would jeopardize the warranty.

If requested by Seller, any equipment (or its component parts) must be promptly returned to Seller prior for
any attempted repair, or sent to an authorized service station designated by Seller, and Buyer shall prepay
all shipping expenses. Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage to goods in transit, nor will any
warranty claim be valid unless the returned goods are received intact and undamaged as a result of
shipment. Repaired or replaced material returned to customer will be shipped F.O.B. Seller’s factory.

STARTUP SERVICE:
Startup service is not included in base system price, unless noted as such.

To allow Metron to schedule customer startups effectively, please provide us with ten (10) days advance notice. If the installation is not ready for
startup on the scheduled date, the customer will be charged for all additional costs incurred, including but not limited to: rental car, meals,
lodging, parking, and difference in airfare if any (due to exchanging a discount ticket).

When requesting startup service, customer should provide either Metron’s invoice number, or the serial number of the equipment, so that service
personnel can be prepared for the specific equipment at the customer site. If serial number or invoice number are not available, it may be possible
to identify the equipment using a job number or purchase order number.

COMPENSATED (NON-WARRANTY AND NON-SERVICE CONTRACT RELATED) FIELD SERVICE:

Service calls will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Metron will be on site as quickly as possible, taking into account available personnel,
available transportation, and prior service commitments. We request a Purchase Order number prior to departure which may be given verbally
with a written P.O. to follow. Travel and expenses will be invoiced at actual cost.

Refer to Metron’s Terms and Conditions of Sale, Item 8, Limited Warranty; for more information. This warranty does not cover equipment or
parts installed or used under the following conditions:

1) Subjected to abuse or carelessness;

2) Used under conditions which exceed the equipment ratings;
3) Not used in accordance with accepted industry standards or Metron’s specific recommendations; and
4) Not used for the intended purpose.

Note that in some cases where the cause of failure is not certain, warranty determination may have to be made after Metron Service
Personnel inspect the equipment and installation at the site.

SHIPPING DAMAGE:
If any item(s) show evidence of shipping damage when received, this must be noted on the waybill when signing for acceptance of shipment and
also whether or not the item(s) had been inspected for concealed damage. Customer should notify the carrier immediately, and make
arrangements for an inspector of the carrier to be present during the unpacking of the item(s). Customer should then notify Metron immediately.
Item(s) should not be unpacked until the carrier’s inspector is present. If the items have been unpacked, the shipping container MUST be saved
for inspection. Customers wishing Metron to inspect equipment at the job site for shipping damage may request a compensated field service call.

US Navy Pump Station Project Summary with Photos of Manufacturing Progression

BACKGROUND

A US Navy required a potable water station to be built under The Buy American Act. The
packaged concept to include the controls, instrumentation, building, pumps and generator from a
single supplier on a skid was needed to meet a financial and logistic schedule. A steel building to
serve as the control room was also used to house a control panel, TVSS, automatic transfer
switch. The packager was to supply all software integration for pump control as well as making
the system capable communicating with the utility’s Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition
(SCADA) system.

EQUIPMENT SCOPE

The Metron Packaged Pumping System is designed to deliver 2500 GPM at a station discharge
pressure of 80 PSI, minimum 0 PSI suction pressure and 80 PSI pressure boost. System uses two
(2) domestic horizontal end suction close-coupled centrifugal pumps with variable frequency
drive (VFD) start, two (2) emergency horizontal split case pumps with soft start (SS) and one (1)
sump pump with across-the-line start. Incoming power to the booster pumping station is 480-
volts, 3-phase, and 60-hertz. A generator and automatic transfer switch is included inside the
steel, skid mounted building.

Pumps-

Examples of small to medium sized pump stations with various corrosion resistant buildings

The Metron Packaged Pumping System is designed to deliver 700 GPM at a station discharge
pressure of 88 PSI, 0 suction and 92 PSI boost, using two (2) main vertical turbine pumps with
soft start starters. Both pumps extend beneath skid into vertical cans. A fiberglass building is
installed onto the skid.

The fiberglass building on the left has a sand finish and the roof perimeter has been extended up
to match a local architectural requirement. The middle photo shows the suction pipe penetrating
through the bottom of the skid (timbers are for shipping), the magnetic flow meter, pressure relief
valve and a red potable interior pipe coating. The right photo shows the pump station discharge
through the skid floor.

2.4.10
The Metron Packaged Pumping System is designed to deliver 2600 GPM at a station discharge
pressure of 90 PSI using two (2) main vertical turbine pumps with variable frequency drive (VFD)
start. Pumps extend 15-feet into pump cans. A fiberglass building is attached to the building.

The fiberglass building has concrete, bullet proof panels attached to the exterior walls. The roof
has access hatches for installation and removal of the pumps and motors along with a rubber
membrane for added weather protection. The middle photo shows fiberglass walls over
insulation and PVC conduit, both for corrosion resistance. The right photo shows the vertical
turbine pumps and motors after installation. The system is for potable water supply.

2.4.10
The Metron Packaged Pumping System is designed to deliver 1500 GPM at a station discharge
pressure of 110 PSI, minimum 60 PSI suction pressure and 50 PSI pressure boost. System uses
two (2) close-coupled centrifugal horizontal end suction centrifuge duty pumps with variable
frequency drive (VFD) start and one (1) pressure maintenance pump with across-the-line (ATL)
start. A powder coated, galvanized steel building is mounted on the skid.

This is a system that was designed to minimize floor space and cost and therefore access to the
panel is from the outside, allowing space to meet NEC clearance. On top of the building is an
access hatch to allow for pump and/or motor removal if needed. Note access door on right side
of building, behind right side of double door. This side door is where personnel can walk into the
building behind the control panel. In the middle photo you will see wall penetrations for suction
and discharge piping. The middle and right photo show that the interior skin consists of R-5
insulation, which is the silver material on the wall.

2.4.10
The Metron Packaged Pumping System is a vacuum assisted pumping station designed to pump raw
water at a rate of 460GPM with a pressure boost of 8 PSI. System uses a diaphragm pump for
the vacuum and a frame mounted end suction centrifuge pump with soft start. A powder coated,
galvanized steel building is mounted on the skid.

The building shows a light to the left of the door, GFI outlet to the right of the door and a red
alarm light on the right wall. The interior building skin is galvanized steel covers insulation as
reflected in the middle and left photo. Additional manifold has been added to allow for alternate
suction sources.

2.4.10
The Metron Packaged Pumping System is designed to deliver 70 GPM at a station discharge
pressure of 113 PSI, minimum 58 PSI suction pressure and 55 PSI pressure boost. System uses
two (2) vertical multistage pumps with VFD starting and a hydro-pneumatic pump. A powder
coated, galvanized steel building is mounted on the skid. Note: Main pumps are redundant and
will not run at the same time.

This potable station required a minimal footprint requiring the control panel to be mounted
outward with a door in front of it to meet NEC clearances. The back door shows the hydro-
pneumatic tank and there is space to get inside the building from this approach.

2.4.10
The Metron Packaged Pumping System is designed to deliver 4000 GPM at a station discharge
pressure of 89 PSI, minimum 20 PSI suction pressure and 69 PSI pressure boost. System uses
one (1) horizontal, end suction centrifugal pumps with VFD start and soft start bypass. A
galvanized steel building is attached to the skid.

The system is being prepared for shipping in the left photo and reflects the system after full
installation.
