Alexandria Sanitation Authority - Process Air Compressor (Pac) System Upgrade (Alexandria , VA)

BDE teamed with WEG Transformer, Trachte Enclosures, Curtis Power Solutions and SAI Advanced Power Solutions to provide a customized powerhouse and utility switchgear system.

The team implemented design, supply and management of low voltage distribution systems at one of Alexandria’s main sanitation processing facilities. BDE supplied a custom Powerhouse, UL1558 low voltage switchgear lineup, and MVI Transformers. BDE teamed with generator provider Curtis Engine to resolve Alexandria’s power distribution issues at this facility. This Main-Tie-Main switchgear is setup to handle (2) 3200A Dominion VA feeders and it employs ABB UFES technology for high speed arc flash mitigation. The control system within the gear is custom designed to transfer power sources whenever there is a significant power interruption to one of Dominion VA Power’s incoming lines.

Design, supply, programming and management of low voltage motor control center upgrades at Patapsco WWTP. BDE LLC was involved in assisting Sidhu, the electrical engineer, to design upgraded MCC buckets to handle the new motor loads and automation at the facility. We added an additional section to the existing Eaton Freedom 21 MCC, (27) new buckets and modified (4) existing buckets. (7) of the new MCC buckets were provided with micro PLC’s to handle the extensive control that was required to handle the new mixers that were installed. We provided the design drawings to the engineer, who then integrated them into the loop drawing package along with automation provider, ABB.

Design, supply and management of low voltage switchgear modifications, existing PLC and SCADA systems at one of Baltimore City’s main water treatment facilities. BDE LLC supplied a custom UL508 PLC control panel, remote breaker control cabinet (RBCC) and modification services. The customer planned to add a new generator to the existing scheme which involved Eaton low voltage switchgear, GE HMI and Modicon PLC. BDE modified switchgear cells to accept new generator breakers, installed Shark meters, SPD, RBCC and integrated a new PLC which functions the updated auto throwover scheme. Arc flash mitigating trip units were also added to the existing main, tie breakers for Baltimore City Personnel safety.

Design, supply, programming and management of medium voltage switchgear upgrades at Patapsco WWTP. BDE LLC was involved in assisting Sidhu, the electrical engineer, to design the remote breaker control cabinets. BDE, LLC also complted the systems study of the entire facility to find out the arc incident energy of the equipment. We removed (12) existing Eaton DC relays and replaced them with (12) Eaton FP-5000 Arc Mitigating relays. In installing the relays, (12) Eaton VacClad switchgear cells were modified to accept the new relay and terminations were made to external remote breaker control panels. 34kV ABB Type V pedestal breakers were also modified to have arc mitigation protection and a remote breaker control cabinet. BDE, LLC also added remote racking to SqD PZ3 style switchgear. We trained the facility on the usage of this racking.
