Background
A water treatment plant used reverse osmosis system followed by a filtration system. Their manual operation was slow and prone to errors.
Implementation
- System designed with all the network, control panel, , and documentation
- Programmed the system to run fully automatically
- Used an S7-1500 programmable logic controller and a Siemens TP1200 for human machine interface to display data, alarms and information
- Deployed G120 variable frequency drives
Outcome
- Entire process visible and controlled from single control room
- Historic Process Data available for process analysis
- Historic Alarms/Events available for fault tracking and preventive maintenance
- Readily available plant production reports with SCADA system
- System provides diagnostics which helps to identify the exact problem and address it
- Efficient plant control leads to time & energy saving
