EDS Water Management Pump Station WorldSkills Edition

For educational purpose of maintenance, work safety, energy efficiency in water technology and process automation.

Pumps are the heart of process plants. The station has an eccentric screw pump incl. overheating protection, pump drive 400 AC gear motor, a stainless steel water basin 120 l, stainless steel drip pan the size of the entire plant frame, a piping system with manual valves for fault simulation, pressure/vacuum sensors on the pressure and suction side, bypass line with adjustable safety valve. A pneumatically driven gate valve and butterfly valve are connected to a compressed air accumulator as an energy buffer for emergency operation, The water basin is located above the pump so that a learning situation "Safe working in the pump basement" can be trained. The pump is accessible for recovery with a workshop crane. incl. Padlogs for work safety training "lockout tagout". Stable aluminum profile frame incl. height-adjustable feet for leveling on uneven floors. Suitable for transport with a lift truck,

Seperate control cabinet with PLC and operator touch panel, multifunctional frequency converter, intelligent energy monitoring and web-enabled process visualization serves as a learning field for electrical engineering work modeled on Water 4.0.

Why do we offer the WSK Edition pump station in addition to the other learning system?

Because the station design is geared to depicting the situation in the pump cellar of water engineering plants or large-scale plants (i.e. also in chemical plants). It is about the fact that the maintenance personnel is confronted with large, heavy aggregates in real operation and must learn how to behave in order to carry out maintenance or repair without damage to people and aggregates. For this it is important that the mechanics have a certain size and stability in order to find acceptance and attention and it must make multiple disassembly and reassembly possible. Also the size of the individual parts must not be too filigree in order to be able to use them practically for assembly with protective equipment, such as gloves, safety glasses, etc. The handling of heavy components by means of a workshop crane must also be practiced, and this requires a minimum of aggregate size. In addition, there are exercises on the work process of "lockout tagout", which involves the safe shutdown and startup of a plant with the participation of various skilled workers. This also requires, for example, manual shut-off valves to be of a size that allows them to be secured with a safety lock against being switched back on. The situation that control cabinets and the control rooms are often very far away from the aggregates to be switched also represents a major accident hazard and can be practiced at the station.

Usage: Education and training
