Electrical & Generator
Incoming
Power from Palmetto Electric is fed through switch gear and then
distributed to several Motor Control Centers where it is then
distributed to the equipment.
In case of loss of normal power, we have a 1500 KW Generator that can supply power to all treatment plant equipment. Besides being used for emergency power, we also use the generator for "Peak Shaving", a process by which the generator comes on when there is a high demand for power across the state of South Carolina.
With fuel storage of 4000 gallons, the generator is capable of supplying power to all system processes for approximately 2-days.
