The first surface water processing stage takes place in a rotary drum system. The PLCnext Control family of modular control technology facilitates reliable control of filtration based on the measured values acquired through various standard interfaces.
Removal of suspended-matter in the drinking water supply With our monitoring and control solutions for water filtration, you can realize a more energy-efficient and reliable plant operation.
The challenge
High energy consumption and avoidable downtimes
Removing suspended matter is a process that requires quite a bit of energy and the optimum use of screen and filter systems. Along with the necessary purification of the water extracted and the removal of turbidity, this process also protects downstream plant parts.
Solution
Dosing units monitored reliably and controlled based on data
With Phoenix Contact solutions, you can acquire all process-relevant measured values from the parts of the plant responsible for removing suspended matter. An open control technology allows the process to be controlled easily and securely. Based on data, the process sequence is controlled optimally. The key here is protecting the system and energy efficiency.
In the agglomeration, the size of flocculation is controlled by applying energy. This is achieved via speed control. Monitoring the energy applied to the motors provides an opportunity for energy optimization. Acquire data with our IoT-capable EMpro energy measuring devices.
The open filtration stage operates according to the overflow principle, as the retention time of the water has a considerable influence on the purification performance. Easily integrate the safe control of the valves and drive technology into your network via Modbus, PROFIBUS, or PROFINET.
