Whether you are in need of Clean Water,  Wastewater solutions or products to help you complete your own system or solution, please take a couple of minutes to review the vast array of ideas from Phoenix Contact.

If you take a look at the clean water side, consider the following applications:

• Biological Treatment
• Flow Control
• Mechanical preliminary treatment
• Secondary treatment
• Sludge treatment

On the wastewater side, we look at the following applications:

• Disinfection, softening, sludge treatment
• Oxidation
• Removal of suspended matter
• Water extraction
• Water transport and distribution

Where does Phoenix Contact fit into these applications?

From terminals to connectivity with cabling, power supplies with options of UPS and batteries, surge protection as well as measurement and control, Phoenix Contact can offer a product or solution throughout your application needs. We understand each water company has its standards and AMP specifications, but do take time to consider that you could have options that still comply with the necessary standards.

In this AMP 6 period, we expect to see water companies trying to get the most out of their existing assets and finding ways to minimise the cost of operation. We often hear that water companies have standard equipment specifications that haven’t changed for years, but each water company needs to look at adopting new technologies-  and at product innovation, these new products and ideas could be the answer to your prayers.

When I think of the options of wireless communication for remote pumping stations, and the different ways to log the vast amounts of data now required for legislation purposes, Phoenix Contact does have products and solutions within the range to help with these applications. If you have a range of pumping stations with legacy equipment and varying protocols, you could condsider the ResyGate 1000 or 3000  – this allows you to collate data prior to delivering it to your SCADA package in a uniform way.

Of course all of this must be achieved in a secure way, so use the mGuard solutions and feel safe and secure.   To learn more about ensuring your systems are safe and secure, join us at one of our free workshops covering machine safety, surge protection and cyber security.  Visit our website to register.
