- Enable communication from existing industrial infrastructure to IoT platforms, using data-saving features like DNP3’s report by exception, Modbus, and our easy-to-configure RAMQTT – maximizing capital investment and reducing total cost of ownership
BENEFITS OF AUTOMATION IN WATER & WASTEWATER INDUSTRY
- Energy consumption and costs reduction. Running and powering wasterwater treatment facilities around the clock requires a large amount of energy costs.
- Better access to data: Data is a driver of process automation optimization. Tracking trends and patterns provide key intelligence to quickly and effectively use resources.
- Best use of labor: Process automation benefits your physical manpower in particular areas. Freeing up your staff to tackle other important issues.
- Less waste: Water is a precious resource. Process automation can make better use of our water supply by reducing waste and consumption.
- Improved processes: Access to more data provides critical tools to refine and optimize processes.
- Remote monitoring: Eliminate the need for on site staffing or resource allocation. You can now have access and control remote site more efficiently.
CASE STUDY
A wastewater treatment plant in a major US city turned to Xylem Dewatering Solutions during a recent expansion and renovation project, which required a temporary bypass system to divert a peak wastewater flow of 128 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) and integrate into an existing SCADA system. Xylem installed an electric bypass system capable of transporting water flow via six 335hp submersible electric pumps on Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) and eight 24 inch flow meters alongside a one megawatt diesel driven generator.
Challenges:
- Implement a temporary wastewater bypass system
- Coordinate control of pumps via individual flow meters
- Configure redundant HMIs for web based control and data logging
SOLVING WATER AND WASTERWATER CHALLENGES
Reducing Total Cost of Ownership
- How can I actively reduce non-revenue water (NRW) costs while maximizing my existing infrastructure? An assessment of validated water audit data from 2013 for 246 water utilities found that the utilities collectively incurred 130.1 billion gallons of water lost to system leakage. This loss added over $77 million of excessive treatment and pumping expenses to utility ledgers.
Secured Remote Site Monitoring
- How can you effectively monitor remote sites in real-time and around the clock? Managing increased data flow from sensors and video monitoring systems, integrating processes to include M2M monitoring and seamlessly sharing data between facilities in real time to synchronize operations is critical.
Operating in Harsh Environments
- How do you ensure uninterrupted monitoring of critical water & wastewater facility? Just as ice formation can stop the flow of a river, extreme temperatures can stop the flow of data from remote operations. Because modern facilities and control systems run on information, even a brief interruption to data flow can introduce significant risk to operations.
RED LION SOLUTIONS
With a variety of options, Red Lion is the right choice for industrial HMI (Human Machine Interface) panels. From factories to extreme remote locations, our HMIs enable customers to easily connect, monitor and control processes.
Red Lion’s rugged N-Tron® and Sixnet® series industrial Ethernet switches are designed to meet diverse networking environments. Built-in redundancy coupled with robust reliability ensures critical infrastructures stay up and running around the clock.
Red Lion offers the broadest range of cellular M2M routers and RTUs available on the market today. Featuring standards-based, enterprise-class capabilities, our cellular routers and RTUs enable secure, reliable data access, anywhere, anytime.
We help connect many different devices in multi-vendor environments, including older equipment, and get them to “talk” with each other in a way that they could not before allowing organizations to improve efficiency and gain a competitive advantage.
