Info works. WS pro allows you to model pumping stations and pumps.
00:09
Pumps are widely used in water supply systems.
00:13
Most pumps in a water supply system fall
00:15
into three groups that perform the following duties,
00:19
collection and transport of water from wells,
00:22
distribution of clean water
00:24
and
00:25
pressure boosting in the network.
00:28
A pumping station can house several units of different types and duties.
00:33
Pumping stations are often complex with a lot
00:36
of information required for them to perform successfully.
00:39
In a model
00:40
modeling pumping stations can therefore be a challenging process
00:44
in info works. WS pro a generalized model of pumping stations is introduced.
00:51
The pumping station is classified as a link
00:53
with one section and one delivery note only
00:57
the station may have several pumps which may be
00:59
fixed speed or variable speed active or on standby.
01:04
The only condition is that all units operate in parallel which is normal.
01:09
In practice,
01:10
info works. WS pro assumes a check valve, a non
01:14
return valve on the pressure side of each pump.
01:18
There is also an option to include a bypass pipe that allows flow
01:21
around the station in the same direction when all pumps are stopped.
01:25
This concept is an alternative to the approach
01:28
in which each pump is modeled separately.
01:31
Info works.
01:31
WS pro allows the option of modeling each pump separately
01:35
by modeling each pump as a separate pumping station.
01:38
W S pro contains several built in controls for pumps for common use cases.
01:43
But user programmable control UPC can be used to extend control beyond
01:48
this to more closely match a real world programmable logic controller PLC
01:53
to model an existing pump, you will need to know at least three values.
01:58
The pump's maximum revolutions per minute R PM,
02:01
the duty head
02:02
and the duty flow.
02:05
This will enable you to use a synthetic or estimated pump curve.
02:09
Ideally,

you would be provided a full manufacturer's pump curve.

InfoWorks WS Pro allows you to model pumping stations and pumps. Pumps are widely used in water supply systems and mostly fall into three groups:
Pumping stations are often complex, with a lot of information required for them to perform successfully in a model.
In InfoWorks WS Pro, a generalized model of pumping stations is introduced.
InfoWorks WS Pro assumes a check valve (a non-return valve) on the pressure side of each pump. There is also an option to include a bypass pipe that allows flow around the station in the same direction when all pumps are stopped.
To model an existing pump, you will need to know at least three values:
These values allow you to use a synthetic, or estimated, pump curve. Ideally, you would be provided a full manufacturer’s pump curve.
