MODERNIZATION OF THE STRAIT PLANT

Abstract

Lack of drinking water, air pollution and waste - these problems are the most urgent for Ukrainians according to the results of the work of the State Environmental Inspection, a survey by the Gorshenin Institute, the Representative Office of the Foundation named after Friedrich Ebert in Ukraine.
According to the results of the survey, among the environmental problems that respondents are most concerned about in Ukraine are the pollution of water bodies and the shortage of drinking water (51.0%), the increase in the amount of household and industrial waste (45.9%) and atmospheric air pollution (38.1% ) [1].

Heat and water meters are quite important in the heat and water supply system. With the help of this measuring equipment, consisting of a flow meter, a calculator and temperature sensors, we can control the actual water consumption of the population. Installation of water separators significantly saves the budget. For the correct operation of meters, periodic metrological verification should be done every 4 years.

The flow unit is used to measure and control the liquid flowing through the flow meters per unit of time. However, over the years, the accuracy of pouring units is lost, which leads to errors in the readings and failure to ensure their operation at a certain level, according to the requirements of DSTU EN 1434-5:2014. Thus, a decision was made to modernize the plant of the УППР80, which is used by the authorized laboratory for checking water and heat meters.

The article considers the main aspects of modernization and the impact on the efficiency of its work. The modernization of the existing pouring plant, namely the use of installed modern equipment, which will reduce the time of metrological verification of measuring equipment, will comply with the verification methodology of DSTU EN 1434-5:2014, will allow minimizing the impact of the operator’s actions during the verification and increasing the accuracy of the results obtained.
