Optimization of the Operation of Groundwater Intakes Using Two-Column Wells

The average number of wells at a typical water intake is 30–40; while the power submersible pump usually 32–40 kW; which means that only one well consumption electric pumping equipment during hours greatest can reach 900–1600 kW. In structure operating costs intakes; share electricity reaches 85 %. Taking into account requirements for reducing and tariffs housing communal services enterprises as utilities; energy saving an urgent task. article considers optimization operation groundwater intakes with uneven supply due to use two-column instead single-column ones. It shown powerful pumps in such causes sharp decrease dynamic level borehole. On hand; this provokes formation colmating deposits filters their aeration; reduces specific flow rate shortens intervals between regenerations. other increases geometric pressure lifting water. theoretical foundations determining installed single- supplying filter treatment plant are considered. An example comparative analysis working part two (working reserve) cover entire schedule containing less each column given. efficiency these systems investigated. As result calculations; it was found when combining periods peak; main partial loads; annual savings will amount 33
