Beneath a field power transformer there is an oil catch pit, used in case of a transformer breakdown
followed by heavy leakage of cooling oil. The pit secures the leaked oil and protects the surrounding
environment. For the pit to retain function, it must be emptied regularly in an environmentally safe
manor.
In a best case scenario, the pit only contains clean water from rain and snow melting. But due to
impact from temperature, changes which cause minor leaks, and/or spill during maintenance the pit
can also contain cooling oil.
In the past the decision to empty a pit or not was left to the service operator, who performed an ocular
survey. To detect oil content as low as a few ppm with your bare eyes is, needless to say, very
difficult, if not impossible.
The statutory requirements of self-monitoring demand that each discharge of water from a
contaminated environment needs to be measured, documented and archived with best available
technology. To reach a quality assured process with full traceability, every discharge should generate a
protocol.
The product SIPP Node consists of a bilge pump and a device for continuous measuring of oil
concentration in flowing water. SIPP Node discharges clean water (i.e. water with an oil content under
the set limit) and returns water containing a higher level to the transformer pit. The unit monitors the
discharge process and creates a protocol, then uploads it automatically for safe storage and traceability
to our internet based interface SIPP Warehouse.
By draining water through a SIPP product the statutory requirements of self-monitoring are fulfilled
regarding measuring, documenting and archiving.

SIPP Node is a fixed installed product used for fully automatic, environmentally safe and quality
assured discharge of water in transformer pits.
With the latest measuring technology and an active, continuous monitoring and logging function the
complete discharge is environmentally ensured. The system automatically generates a complete
protocol in the internet based service SIPP Warehouse, this gives each discharge full traceability.
All SIPP products comprise the following:
Control electronics Contains software to connect and communicate via GPRS/3G. The electronics
control the system’s other components and report the status to the web
interface via GPRS/3G.
Pump The pump(s) ensure that water is pumped from the pit and through the
measuring cell. It is important to choose the correct type of pump to meet the
requirements for the installation site. Important parameters are the pump’s
suction height, capacity and working temperature.
Filter The filter disperses the oil in the water. For dirty pits or pits with a so-called
sump, an external pre-filter can be installed. However, a SIPP product is not
designed to clean water from oil but to verify that the water pumped out of a
pit is clean.
Measuring cell The measuring cell measures the oil content of the water continuously with an
measuring range of 0 to 20 ppm.
Flow meter The flowmeter ensures that there is a flow through the measuring cell during
the discharge.
Valves The valves’ main task is to ensure that clean water is pumped out of the pit
and oily water is returned to the pit.
See appendix I for an overview of the SIPP Node 400 parts.

As soon as the SIPP Node 400 gets powered the unit initiates connection to SIPP Warehouse. When
connection is established SIPP Node 400 enters standby mode.
In standby mode, SIPP Node 400 continuously measures the water level of the pit. As long as
measured level is lower than the preset start level, SIPP Node 400 stays in standby mode. The unit
reports status information in a so-called heartbeat every hour to the web interface.
The unit starts discharging when the water level in the pit rises above a pre-set starting level and if:
-The unit has contact with the web interface
-The temperature is 3-25°C
-The unit is in standby
Note : If the temperature has been below 0 ° C continuously for more than 24 hours , the unit will be suspended until the
temperature has been continuously above 0 ° C for at least 72h . A device that measures a temperature outside the acceptable
range will report the status HIBERNATION .
At each discharge, a flow control is done and thereafter, all valves are tested for function and leakage.
If the unit detects oily water during the discharge process, the valves will switch mode so that the oily
water is returned to the pit. A leakage test is carried out at each switching.
During the discharge process the web interface is continually updated to always show the latest
information about level and status of the unit.
The discharge ends if:
-The pit is empty of water/water level is below the stop level
-The water is too dirty
-Low flow
-Leakage test is not approved
-Unknown cause
Each discharge ends with a process to drain the system from water. During purge the mainpump uses
air to push all remaining water through the system to .
The unit purge at:
-The end of each discharge
-Two hours after each discharge
-Hard reset (unit loose main power supply)
-Soft reset (the command RESET is sent to the unit)
-Every 24h
Note : If the device after a hard or soft reset meet the requirements to start a discharge that is done instead of purge .
At each discharge a functional test is performed. The SIPP Node 400 tries to start a discharge up to
three times before it enters alarm mode. An alarm can be acknowledged by switching the main power
supply off or a soft reset.

When SIPP Node starts a discharge, data regarding start time and date is stored. It also stores
information about the identity of the SIPP and identity information for the station and pit. The entire
discharge process is then logged with minute resolution. SIPP Node takes measurements for ppm, flow
and level every second. A log position for ppm is calculated as a mean value for the past 60 samples
for ppm, which means that each point in the ppm-graph is the mean value for 1 minute. If SIPP
detects ppm over preset limit value and changes valve position, this moment is stored as a log
position. SIPP Node also calculates a number of key figures for the discharge such as amount of
discharged water, average ppm for the water that was discharge from the pit, maximum measured
ppm-value and more.
When a discharge is ended, SIPP Node automatically connects to SIPP Warehouse and delivers the
generated log file. Also, if present, undelivered log files from previous discharges are delivered. If no
connection is available, the log file is stored internally until next time internet connection is available.

The discharge is ended because of too low flow.
Verify that the unit is filled up with water at start up.
- Verify that both pumps are working at startup.
- Clean the hoses and the pump located in the water.
Verify that water is coming out of the grey and red hose at startup.
- Locate where the water is stopped and clean.
Examine the flowmeter and its connector.
Discharge ended because of failed leakage test. Locate the leakage by checking where water comes
out during leakage test. Commonly, the leakage is at one of the solenoid valves or a hose that is not
firmly connected.
The discharge is ended 2 minutes after startup. Usually there is oil in the water; 5ppm is five
teaspoons in one kbm of water.
Check the status of the pit, the water should be clear. Water that is colored by for example dust
or sand cannot be properly evaluated by the measuring cell. Install a prefilter to solve the
problem. Contact Industriarmatur for support.
Check the status of the filter.
If the SIPP Node does not start, make sure that the SIPP Node 400 is connected to the main power and
that all start criteria are met.

1. A filter that works well. The water level in the filter after pumping is under the edge.
2. To the left, a used filter that needs to be replaced, to the right a brand new filter.
3. The filter is clogged and needs to be replaced immediately because water cannot be pushed out.
As it becomes this much water left in the filter, this water slowly drips down into the measuring
cell and the flow meter. If there will be water standing in these units when it gets below
freezing, there is an imminent risk that the units will freeze.
4. The pumped water is dirty. The filter will most likely need replacement earlier than
recommended 50 m3.
