j. During all phases of operation, operators at pumping stations and storage assemblies must be in
communication with each other. Any unusual situations or difficulties must be reported immediately.
(1) Since pumps are operated in manual or electric manual modes during startup, operators
must monitor suction and discharge pressures on pumps. They must report low suction
pressure or high discharge pressure and take corrective action immediately.
(2) Storage assembly operators should report beginning and completion of tank filling
operations.
(3) Operators at lead pumping station should track status of advancing water column during
packing operation. During startup, they should monitor overall performance of system.
(4) Once operation of complete system begins, operators on each pumping station must
continue to monitor suction and discharge pressures. They must report low suction pressure
or high discharge pressure and take corrective action immediately.
2.5.2 Operation of Lead Pumping Station . Open butterfly valves on suction and discharge. Refer to
applicable technical manual for the operation of the 600 GPM pumping assembly.
2.5.3 Operation of Boost Pumping Station . Open butterfly valves on suction and discharge lines and close
the butterfly valve on the bypass line. Reference applicable technical manual for the operation of the 600 GPM
pumping assembly.
2.5.4 Operation of Storage Assemblies. Reference applicable technical manual for the operation of 20,000
gallon pillow tank.
Figure 2-43. 20,000 Gallon Pillow Tank Fill-up.
a. Open 4 inch gate valve (Figure 2-43, 1) to fill 20,000 gallon pillow tank (2). Check to see that drain
valve (3) on 20,000 gallon pillow tank (2) is closed.
