Document Description
The project consists of a replacement and upgrade of a large portion of the power distribution system at Valencia Water Reclamation Plant (VWRP). Much of the plant’s electrical system is 30 to 50 years old and is obsolete and prone to failure. For the most part, the proposed scope of work involves replacement and redundancy
upgrades to several transformers and numerous low-voltage switchboards. Also included is the installation of a new medium-voltage Switchboard 4IB, that will improve the reliability of the south process air compressor systems, respectively. Redundant 2.4-kV/480-V transformers, 480-V switchboards, and associated feeder circuits will be provided for critical loads. The project will also include re-pavement of the entire plant south of the existing sodium hypochlorite and sodium bisulfite chemical facilities. The project will also install a third 2500-kW diesel engine
emergency generator.
