Orion 420 Weather Stations help make LASCD Water Reclamation Plants better neighbors

Image
LA County Sanitation District has purchased seven Orion weather stations since 2011 – mostly Orion 420s – sited at water reclamation facilities. One of our technicians, Kathryn Hammond, was recently in the area and got a tour of the Whittier Narrows facility. Prior to her visit Kathryn had spoken with Albert Mata on an installation follow-up with this report: “Albert installed the system. Loves it. Was easy to install.” Carlos Alfaro, Supervisor of Treatment Plant Operations, gave Kathryn the tour, including the catwalk over the tank. (Whittier Narrows is an open tank wastewater treatment facility.) Kathryn reports that they use primarily wind speed and direction parameters to help manage for odor based on complaints from the neighbors, as well as the possibility of chemical spills. Using an Allen-Bradley PLC system, the systems is monitored with FactoryTalk software. Learn more about Orion 420 Weather Stations with 4-20 mA Signal Interface

Back in 2003, Mike installed a Capricorn 2000 Weather Station at a BPA site. More than two decades later, it's still going strong. “I remember installing this over 20 years ago and have done very little to fix it,” Mike told us. “I still use the same system and will continue to do so.” For BPA, a major provider of hydroelectric power in the Pacific Northwest, accurate weather data is critical for tracking environmental conditions that affect transformer performance. “Our outside equipment has AC units but I need to have data on our transformers both inside and outside of the cabinets," Mike explained. “It is very important to monitor ambient temperature as we have had AC units fail. We use (the weather station) ...
