The OCV “Well Commander System” provides control of well/aquifer levels to prevent over pumping. The Well Commander System can be as simple as one valve, one well and one electronic multi-stage controller , or as complex as three valves, three wells and one electronic multi-stage controller . The electronic controller operates the valve via line pressure through two solenoids (opening and closing). The traditional hydraulic function works in conjunction with the electronic options to provide digital interfacing, remote operation and more precise control over a larger operation span.
Available models: Well Commander (WC), DuPlex Well Commander (DWC) and TriPlex Well Commander (TWC)
Primary Control of well depth via level/depth transducer*
Secondary control of:
Output flow rate via flow meter transducer*
Valve discharge pressure via pressure transducer*
Allows for frequent set point change of control type selected
The controls for each well can be operated in either manual or automatic mode
Model 115-36 digital control valve(s) with dual solenoid and ‘hydraulic’ reverse flow check
The valve(s) opens slowly on pump start and close slowly prior to pump shutdown
Scheduling for the control of the valve(s) (time, day of week, flow limiting, process variables)
Volume totalizer for the valve(s) output sequence (when used with a flow meter)
Remote operation and monitoring of the valve(s) and discrete pump run conditions
Remote set point by digital SCADA access
Extreme stability over wide range of operation
Wider range of flow control than standard hydraulic systems
Full function PID controller
*Only one process variable is in control at any given time but they may all be monitored simultaneously.
*Sensors/transducers are user supplied.
STORM WATER COLLECTION POINT
The Well Commander System can assist in compliance with regulations regarding pumping into the city storm water system. The Well Commander System can measure the wet well depth, limit the volume and control the rate the water is pumped into the city storm water system, all without the need of personnel standing by to monitor or control the system. Options may also be added to email/text messages regarding when the system is pumping, how much is being pumped and at what volume.
WELL CONTROL
The Well Commander System can act as a critical tool to keep applications compliant with limitations regulating pumping from wells. Once the pump is star ted, the valve can control depth, flow, pressure or any combination thereof, until a user selected set point, usually a maximum volume. A restart set point can be set to allow an automatic restart (during a valid run condition) until the stop condition is again valid. The Well Commander System may also be programmed to set off alarms, automatically stop or send an email/text warning when the allowed conditions have been exceeded.
