Inflow metering in wastewater treatment Realize an energy-efficient and predictive system operation with our monitoring and control solutions for inflow structures, rainwater relief systems, and pumping stations.

Pumping station

The challenge


Inflow pumping station

Fluctuating amounts of water in the inflow

The wastewater treatment plant inflow system must be highly flexible so that it can respond to constantly changing weather events. The ability to adjust control processes to different framework conditions in good time is made possible with digital information from the plant utilities. Phoenix Contact provides control solutions for inflow structures, rainwater relief systems, and pumping stations. Specially developed functions and components allow needs-based operation with a focus on availability and resource efficiency.

Solution


Rain overflow basin

Automated rain overflow basin

In order to operate rain overflow basins efficiently for many years while reducing the resources required, equipping them with the latest technology is critical. With a combination of modern measuring, automation and transmission technology, you can record and balance the inflowing water volumes. In this way, you will also be able to meet stricter specifications for calculating the amount of wastewater and rainwater in the future.

Industry-specific software solutions with diagnostic functions also increase the service life of pumps in screw conveyors. Alternating priorities during control ensure an even load on the actuators. With demand-dependent adjustment of the speed, the screw conveyors run only as fast as necessary.

Wastewater pumping station

Pump automation with remote communication

Pumping stations and pumps are needed in inflow metering where wastewater does not drain on its own due to differences in elevation. Upgrading wastewater pumping stations with automation technology contributes to the long-term reliability, longevity, and energy efficiency of your plant.
Pump Control is the ready-to-use control cabinet and software solution for controlling wastewater pumping stations. It ensures reliable reading out and transmission of relevant process data relating to level and flow measurements to the control room.

Your advantages

  • Easy planning, configuration, and realization with turnkey hardware and software solutions
  • Holistic and deeply integrated security concepts to protect plants against unauthorized access and risks
  • Versatile data transmission via your own telecommunications cable, wireless, or Industrial Wireless

Efficient pump monitoring at the Constance wastewater treatment plant

To maintain 24/7 operation, several pumps are installed in the inlet pump station of the Constance wastewater treatment plant. To reduce costs and preserve the environment, the pump station not only has to be constantly available, it also has to be operated ensuring a high level of energy efficiency.

Our solution enables you to monitor the status of your pumps and motors from anywhere, at any time. Indications of wear are detected in good time and further damages and failures are avoided.
