Water and sewage industry

Solution implemented and results achieved:

• Conducting infrastructure audit,
  Technical equipment replacement (servers, monitors, ups)
• Building a SCADA system operating in full redundancy, also taking client station redundancy into account
• Archiving process parameters on a separate database server – Proficy Historian
• Implementation of a solution for remote access to SCADA system – Proficy WebSpace
• Review of applications, standardization of appearance, error handling and script repair,
• Replacing the synoptic chart with a 70-inch monitor
• Modernization of the shutter control system (AUMA)
• Modification of the Bioreactor Control Program (PLC)

Benefits for the Customer:

• Convenient view of bioreactor control parameters thanks to the 70-inch screen – the dispatcher has a constant view of the most important process parameters
• Improved reliability of the system by replacing the used hardware layer
• Increased security by updating SCADA systems and applications,
• Reports available “on demand” – daily report, technical report, any average parameters in the selected time,
• Redundancy of SCADA systems and client stations – ensuring system operation continuity
• Remote access to the system enables quick decision-making in emergency situations, also when staying outside the facility
• Prediction of emergency situations thanks to visualization of sewage levels in pumping stations; an extensive alarm system is an additional advantage
• The reliability of the obtained measurement readings within the facility has also been significantly increased, thanks to which the operating costs of the facility have been reduced
• Thanks to more accurate measurements, customer knows how much air should be used in bioreactors – currently less air is used, which results in real savings.

Solution implemented and results achieved:

• Replacement of used hardware layer (Computers, UPS, Managed Network Switch, Firewall),
• Update of: operating systems, SCADA systems, data archiving systems,
• Review of applications, standardization of interface, error handling and script repair,
• Cleaning up and rearrangement of the database.

Benefits for the Customer:

• Improved reliability of the system by replacing the used hardware layer
• Increased security by updating SCADA systems and applications,
• Increasing cyber security by using a firewall,
• Easier and more intuitive control of biological reactor objects – during the work, changes were introduced based on the remarks of the facility service.

Solution implemented and results achieved:

• Implementation of the system working in the redundancy mode
• Preparation of multi-monitor screens presenting data from Sewage Treatment Plant and Water Treatment Station facilities
• Review of applications, standardization of layout, error handling and script repair,
• Increasing the number of client stations
• Centralization of data collection – common Historian for both facilities working 24/7

Benefits for the Customer:

• Real-time tracking of changes in the parameters of devices operating in the Sewage Treatment Plant, thanks to the creation of an appropriate application at the Water Treatment Station
• Preview of the current parameters of the Sewage Treatment Plant and permission for changes to be made by the management, which is important in the case of crisis management, thanks to the increased number of clients
• Convenience of using the application by changing the one-monitor application into a two-monitor application at the Water Treatment Station

Solution implemented and results achieved:

• Technical equipment replacement (servers, monitors, ups)
• Database arrangement (approx. 4800 variables, 500 archived variables)
• Unification of the SCADA system by merging 4 independent applications (SUW1, SUW2, Sewage System, Energy)
• Creation of a redundant system in order to guarantee the control continuity
• Creation of new technological charts and schemes, unification of control stations
• Creation of digital maps with animation of facilities, water supply and sewage system

Benefits for the Customer:

• Much broader possibilities for inspecting and controlling all technical equipment at the production and distribution stage,
• The redundant system ensures continuity of control and observation of the entire production process even in the event of failure of one of the servers
• The use of 8 43-inch monitors made it possible to acquire transparency of the application, and to display the whole process line at the same time, which enables the conducting of observations in the entire scope of the process line
• The possibility of shortening the training period from approx. 6 to 3 months for newly recruited employees thanks to modernization, integration and unification of technological systems

Solution implemented and results achieved:

• Technical equipment replacement (servers, monitors, ups)
• Building a SCADA system operating in full redundancy
• Archiving process parameters on a separate database server – Proficy Historian
• Reporting via Microsoft Excel Add-In
