Optimisation of a pumping station
Challenge
Optimising construction costs 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 optimisation scenarios
Digital model
Plans of the pumping station
Simulation results
Strong points
-
Assessing the pumping station’s operation
-
Evaluating the risks of vortex formation and calculating the pre-rotation angle 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 optimisation scenarios and optimising costs by suggesting simple structure adjustments.
