Global Pump SafeGuard™ System
Emergency Backup/Auxiliary Service
The Global SafeGuard backup system is ideally suited for operation in municipal or industrial applications where provision for electrical power failure or duty equipment failure is necessary for essential pumping requirements.
Standby, or backup systems are a critical aspect of facility design in wastewater facilities ensuring that working pumps are available when they are needed.
In the past, standby generators have been installed to supply backup power to the duty electrical pumps when the electrical power is down. However, these standby generator systems themselves can fail due to the very same events that knock out power from the electrical grid. Just as important, a standby pumping system can be available in case of duty equipment failure, including the duty pump, switch gear, or control panel. A standby system can also cover pipe failure if it occurs before the connection valve.
