This article discusses a recent study on a booster station in rural Arizona that compared two approaches for providing water under fluctuating pressures and flows: a hydropneumatic tank, or a variable frequency drive. System specifics are provided, along with hydropneumatic tank design and function, VFD system design and function, horsepower requirements, and capital vs. life cycle costs.
