About this file

This is a technical specifications document for the Mallard Creek Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) Non-Potable Water (NPW) Filter Pilot project prepared by Charlotte Water in North Carolina. The project seeks to procure a complete self-cleaning backwash filter system capable of processing 4.4 million gallons per day with at least one filter unit out of service. The Filter System consists of three parallel filter units—two with 10-micron screen openings and one with 5-micron screen openings—along with associated control panels, pressure instrumentation, and automated backwash capabilities. The system will be supplied as a pre-assembled, pre-wired, skid-mounted unit by a single Filter System Supplier and installed in a temporary enclosure (approximately 20 feet long by 18 feet wide by 10 feet high) until permanent facilities are constructed. Acceptable manufacturers include Forsta Filters Inc., Tekleen Automatic Filters LLC, and approved alternates. The specifications detail comprehensive requirements for process control, including dual automatic operation modes (Analog Disabled and Analog Enabled), adjustable control setpoints, alarm management, and integration with the City's existing SCADA network using Ignition by Inductive Automation software.

The control infrastructure requires a NEMA 4X stainless steel control panel with a Schneider Electric M340 Series PLC, Operator Interface Terminal (OIT), and networked components including Hirschmann BRS40 switches and associated surge protection devices. The filter system must operate at pressures up to 150 psi with stainless steel header piping, butterfly isolation valves from manufacturers such as Henry Pratt or DeZURIK, and dual flush valves with 24V actuators. The Filter System Supplier bears responsibility for providing a complete, functional system and must furnish detailed shop drawings, product data, performance certificates, operation and maintenance manuals in bound format, and provide a minimum of eight hours per day for system startup and testing estimated at one to two months following delivery. The supplier must notify the City at least 14 days prior to delivery and demonstrate equipment operation to City personnel. All equipment components must be new, current production items from UL-certified facilities with appropriate warranties matching the associated mechanical equipment for a minimum of one year from final acceptance.

1.4 PROCESS DESCRIPTION

A. General: the new Filter System shall include a set of three (3) filters. These filters will be installed, by the Installation Contractor, in parallel with a common influent header and discharge header provided and installed by the Installation Contractor. The new Filter System will receive flow from the City's existing NPW pump station and will be discharged back to the primary distribution system. Under normal operating conditions, filter backwash will be controlled automatically based on operator mode selection and operator set points. The controls described in this section are based on the known functionality of systems provided by Forsta Filters, Inc.

Systems provided by other listed manufacturers shall be acceptable provided they meet the process requirements and operate as generally described in this section. Motorized and non-motorized systems for cleaning are acceptable.

B. Controls Configuration: the new Filter System shall include a local control panel with a PLC referred to herein as the Filter Control Panel and Filter System PLC, respectively. The Filter System Control Panel shall have an operator interface terminal (OIT) on the face of the panel.

Complete control of the system shall be provided on the OIT. The PLC and OIT shall be networked, over Ethernet, to the City's existing SCADA network at the Mallard Creek WRRF.

Remote control over the City's SCADA network is not required. Remote monitoring over the City's SCADA network shall include all I/O and alarms critical for understanding the Filter System's operating status and key process control variables. The City uses Ignition by Inductive Automation for SCADA software. Modifications to the City's existing SCADA system for integration of the Filter System will be performed by the City or the City's Control Systems Integrator. The Filter System Supplier shall furnish register maps, panel drawings, and any information required for integration.

C. Automatic Mode:

1. There will be two automatic modes that the operator will select from the OIT. The first automatic mode is the Analog Disabled mode, where the system will monitor the differential input from the remote mounted gauges. The second mode, Analog Enabled, has the system monitor the two transducer inputs for a high differential pressure set point, set by the user to initiate a backwash cycle.

2. Operation Sequence

a. Controller starts the Start delay. When this delay expires, the controller will change state from STANDBY to MAIN VALVE ON.

b. When main valve open delay expires, the controller will change state to FILTER 1

BACKWASH.

1) Controller will signal Valve #1 to open and switch the DC voltage to DC

Motor #1. Backwash Delay timing will start.

2) When backwash delay is complete, the controller will signal the valve for

FILTER #1 to close, will switch the voltage off to the DC motor #1. If no other valves are utilized the state will change to SETTLING DELAY, signal the main valve to close, and start the SETTLING delay. If valve #2 is being utilized, then the state will change to DWELL ACTIVE and start the DWELL delay.

c. When the DWELL delay is complete, the state will change to FILTER 2

BACKWASH.

Project No. 2501151 3 Section 40 61 96

1) Repeat the operation sequence described in 1.4.B.2.b until all filters have been monitored and/or backwashed. After the final filter settling delay is complete, the state will change to STANDBY.

3. While filters can be manually assigned priority levels, an automatic filter rotation strategy shall also be provided. When Auto Rotation is selected, the PLC shall continuously compare runtimes of all available filters (available = in remote, not in fault, etc.). The filter with the lowest runtime will be assigned the lead priority, the filter with the next lowest runtime will be assigned lag priority. The remaining filter, or any filter(s) determined to be “not available” will be assigned as standby. Any filter in standby will not be called by any auto control strategy. Filters shall not change priority status while in operation. The PLC shall track runtimes of each filter for this purpose. Each runtime value will be adjustable by an operator of appropriate security/access level (specifics to be coordinated with the City.

1.5 OIT CONTROLS

A. Control Setpoints:

1. The following table lists the expected new adjustable control setpoints that will be added to the OIT graphics. The table should be utilized for initial system set up. Some control variables may require historical data logging for populating trends and reports.

Periodic 0-24 hrs 0 hrs Sets a timed flush cycle. Set this value to zero (0) if this function is not to be utilized.

Flush 10-150 sec 20 sec Sets how long the controller will hold the valve open for the flush cycle.

Dwell 0-59 sec 5 sec Sets how long the controller will wait between the valve flush operations during the flush cycle.

# of Filters 0-15 3 Total filters (valves) to be included in the backwash cycle.

Alarm Cycles 1-20 3

Allows for the selection of how many cycles the controller will perform without the digital or analog differential pressure being cleared before an alarm will occur.

Start Delay 0-59 sec 3 Delay time before system will backwash when differential limit has been reached.

Settling Timer 0-59 sec 10 Time delay after system is done backwashing before another cycle can begin.

B. Process Variables

1. The following table lists the expected new process variables related to the control strategy that will be added to the OIT graphics. Not all variables (such as filter run statuses, valve open/closed statuses, etc.) are listed. Variables may require event change data logging by the alarm server or historical data logging by the historian for populating trends and reports.

Process Variable Units Trend Default Range
