Final sedimentation in wastewater treatment Ensure the best water quality – with our solutions for reliable monitoring and secure data transmission for final purification tanks.

The challenge

High demands on water quality

Before the treated water can be returned to the natural water cycle, the quality must be right. The pH value, nitrate content, and other relevant values are monitored to ensure the ideal water quality. Furthermore, the level of the released sludge is checked and the return is regulated precisely.

The solution

Uninterrupted operation of the final sedimentation process

The reliable transmission of data from the trades and field devices to the control room is necessary for permanently monitoring of water quality.
Discover our solutions for secure, wireless data communication with distant and hard-to-reach utilities. Concepts for the safe operation and shutdown of systems support you in hazardous situations.

Wireless communication

Both remote and also hard-to-reach utilities present a challenge for secure data communication. This applies, for example, to remote pumping stations and wells as well as to rotating parts in a scraper bridge and fill-level monitoring.

The Radioline wireless system has been specially developed for use in the industrial environment. Serial controller data and standardized I/O signals are transmitted reliably. All common communication standards, such as Modbus, PROFIBUS, and PROFINET, are supported. In the case of proprietary technology such as Trusted Wireless 2.0, the protocol is not publicly accessible, which means the technology is extremely well protected against attacks from third parties.

Motor management with safety function

In the biological phosphorus removal tanks (Bio-P tanks for short), the phosphorus contained in the wastewater is removed using the bacteria contained in the sludge.

The 4-in-1 hybrid motor starter of the CONTACTRON range reliably protects the motors and enables uninterrupted operation. The integrated safety functions satisfy all emergency stop requirements.

Wireless data communication with Bluetooth

Whether PROFIBUS or PROFINET: Achieve optimum water quality by safely monitoring the secondary sedimentation process. Use WLAN as a cost-effective alternative, e.g., for slip rings. Process sizes from the final purification tanks are reliably transmitted to the superordinate control level. Avoid interference-prone slip ring transmission, which often involves a high degree of installation and maintenance effort.
