Reliable solutions for wastewater treatment: Pump automation technology with PumpControl<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Water pipes are required almost everywhere, especially for water and wastewater distribution. There are several types of water pipes in well-built and constructed water distribution networks, including large diameter main pipes, which supply entire cities, smaller branch lines supplying a street or group of buildings, or small diameter pipes within individual buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installation of efficient and reliable methods for wastewater treatment plants is one of the main challenges of our time <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Wastewater treatment<\/a> plants are supplied with wastewater from sewer systems. These sewer systems can be extended for many Kilometers via pipe distribution networks so that the wastewater can pumped into the treatment plant. There are several pumping stations with installed pumps that aids the flow to move in the right direction. Every single pump has to have a control system, to ensure operational reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Pump control application from Phoenix Contact<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The main task for these pumps is to pump the wastewater from the tank under the ground to a wastewater treatment plant. For this application Phoenix Contact developed a solution called \u201ePumpControl<\/a>\u201c. This solution is perfect for pumping stations up to four pumps. It includes industry-specific functions, to ensure an efficient operation of this pumping stations. The solution has a Touch Panel for parametrization and monitoring the whole process. All important parameters and functions can be changed and parametrized over this TP. The customers can choose an integrated GSM Modem to establish a connection to the SCADA system by using a OPC UA remote protocol. Here there are some benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
