Water pumping control device and system
A water pumping control device may include a primary power source and a secondary power source. The primary power source may be configured to provide a primary power input to a processing unit, and the secondary power source may be configured to provide a secondary power input to the processing unit. A primary pump and a secondary pump may be in communication with the processing unit, and the primary pump and the secondary pump may each be variable in speed. The primary pump and the secondary pump may each be in fluid communication with a sump so that when a pump is activated, the pump may remove water from the sump. A water level sensor may be in communication with the processing unit, and the water level sensor may be configured to provide a water level input describing a water level in the sump to the processing unit.

LIQUEFIED GAS UNLOADING AND DEEP EVACUATION SYSTEM
A liquefied gas unloading and deep evacuation system may more quickly, more efficiently and more completely unload liquefied gases from transport tanks, such as rail cars, into stationary storage tanks or into truck tanks. The system may utilize a two stage compressor, an electric motor, a variable frequency drive, a four way valve, a three way valve, a two way valve, a programmable logic controller based control system and pressure and temperature transmitters. The valving enables deep evacuation of the transport or supply tank to more completely empty the transport tank. The programmable logic controller and variable speed drive may be used to variably control the speed of the two stage compressor so that the system may be running as fast as possible during changes in ambient temperature and/or different stages of offloading the liquefied gases without exceeding the compressor's horsepower limit.
