The Problem

The Yasgur Road "Woodstock" Campground installed a new wastewater treatment system to provide permanent waste handling infrastructure for its annual Woodstock reunion festival. The various pumping stations each required a PLC control panel to be designed, constructed, and installed in a compressed time frame to ensure that the entire system was operational before the site’s 50th anniversary.

The Solution

bioprocessH2O’s in-house Controls & Automation group supplied six control panels, each equipped with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to control the motor speed of the pumps.

The Results

The PLC control panels allow the pumping stations to operate automatically based on level set points, reducing the need for operator oversight. Additionally, the use of VFD controlled pumps will extend the working life of the pumps, as well as reduce the overall power consumption of the plant.
