Project Name: Mobile Booster Pump Performance Enhancement   Project Type: Unpaid Student Project   Project date: Project to commence 1 July with an estimate it would take 6 weeks   Duration of project: Estimate of 6 weeks   Project description: QUU have developed a mobile booster pump for use in its water network as a contingent measure during water outages. This pump can be deployed when water supply is impacted by a burst or planned activities. Alternate supply is via a tanker and the mobile pump can provide the pressure to supply customers.   This project is to develop and implement a series of performance trials to identify a series of operating parameters for the mobile pump. This data is to be used to develop an operating procedure for the unit for different isolation scenarios.   The project will identify, source and procure the appropriate fittings to connect the unit into the water supply network, as well as other requirements such as staff (electrician, fitter), servicing and maintenance and future improvements.The project will identify and develop an appropriate technology to enable the unit to be remotely monitored and controlled.  

Project Name:  Performance Assessment of insitu Flow Meters Project date: To be agreed between Student and QUU (Ideally commencing July 2018) Duration of project: It is estimated this would be approximately a 6 week project Project Type: Unpaid Student Project Project description: QUU operate a fleet of flow meters as part of its water supply network. These flowmeters are installed in a range of pipe sizes and locations including water mains, Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV’s) and water booster pumps. The intent of this project is investigate and identify if there is a performance correlation between the age of the flowmeter,its size, its type, its location and the accuracy of the flow meter, and provide recommendations accordingly. The project will require data gathering on the flow meters including sourcing from in house SCADA systems. Additionally it will require in field testing of flow meters using a calibrated clamp on flow meter. Full training will be provide in how to use equipment and systems. The desired outcome is an insight and potentially a diagnostic tool that can be used to inform recalibration time frames or replacement timeframe for flowmeters.
