Pipeline Hydro-test Water Filtered for Return to Pristine Fall River
A 36" pipeline near the Fall River and the scenic town of Burney,
California, needed to be hydro tested by a major California utility. The
Woodland Rain for Rent branch responded to the challenge by designing and
environmentally-safe pump and water filtration treatment system for the
pipeline contractor.
Water was pumped from the pristine Fall River with a
DV150 Power Prime pump into
three
21,000 gallon Worksafe steel manifold tanks resting in
Spillguard
berms. The water was then pumped from the tanks with a 3HA pump into the
pipeline for the hydrotest procedure. Each pump had a backup due to the
critical project time schedule. All equipment was protected with
Spillguards to prevent any contamination of the job site.
After the completion of the hydrotest, the hydrocarbon contaminated water was
pumped back into the three
21,000 gallon tanks, then filtered through a
PF400 cartridge/bag filter and a carbon filter. Clean water was returned
to the Fall River and the project was completed ahead of schedule.
