Water Treatment Automation
Planners and engineers in the field of water management are faced today not only with the challenge of guaranteeing the supply of clean potable water and reliable wastewater disposal. In view of the demographic change and the increasing world population, sustainability in dealing with water as a resource and energy efficiency in the cleaning of wastewater are becoming increasingly important.
At the same time the costs of building new plants or modernizing existing ones are playing an ever increasing role in the municipalities. The PC-based control system from LYNX offers the solution: Through the use of the latest processors,PC-based Control makes a powerful automation platform available for the acquisition and processing of all process data.
Due to the open interfaces and the support of communication standards, the PC-based controller is suitable both for the central control of a wastewater treatment plant and for the decentralized control of the outstations.
Efficient water management requires fast and precise access to and processing of an abundance of process data. The LYNX Embedded PC series is optimally Suited to this: The connected Bus Terminals support the connection of all common Sensors and actuators for the precise acquisition of the different process parameters, such as levels, temperatures, flow rate, pH value, oxygen or nitrogen content, etc., at the various water treatment stations.
The compact embedded controllers have sufficient performance to control the decentral outstations of a wastewater treatment plant. Apart from control technology they also take care of data storage and processing as well as local visualization.
The scalability and modularity of the PC-based controller provides the operating company with the possibility to adapt its plant to the many different or changing requirements without having to accept High implementation costs and expenditure of time on each occasion.
