Design: Optimisation of a pump tank
Challenge
Ensuring the proper operation of a planned structure and optimising the implementation costs for the project owner by guaranteeing compliance with the criteria of the ANSI-HI 9.8-1998 standard.
The 3D EAU solution
Visualising the structure operating in its hydraulic environment
Evaluation of the risk of vortex formation and calculation and the angle of pre-rotation at the intake of the pumps
Assessing the operation and proposing improvements
Simulating scenarios to optimise the structure
Digital model
Plans of the pumping station
Simulation results
Advantages
-
Assessment of the pumping station’s operation, in order to better understand its operation
-
Evaluation of the risk of vortex formation and calculation of the angle of pre-rotation at the intake of the pumps and of the other criteria of the ANSI-HI 9.8-1998 standard.
-
A flexible model, making it possible to simulate scenarios for flow optimisation and for cost optimization by making simple structural modifications that are validated by the company responsible for the work.
