Advanced automated process control system for water supply and wastewater disposal systems

Summary

The use of automated process control systems in water and wastewater management has been no sensation long ago. At present these systems have been an integral part of the treatment facilities alongside with other process and enginee­ring subsystems. The automation technologies development level provides for designing high quality automated process control systems, at least for public water and wastewater management. The explosive progress of automation technologies allowed solving many problems that were restricting the automation potential – operational speed, output, memory capacity, data transfer rate, reliability etc. The current technical conditions do not restrict the process demand, whereas high demonstration ability of computerized control means evidences the absence of any problems in the field of process automation in water and wastewater management. The typical scheme of a control system arrangement applicable to the facilities of various sizes is presented. Undeveloped and unsolved issues are considered: intercoordination of design solutions in related parts with designing automated process control system structure and process flow scheme, the recognition of automated process control system requirements and automation technologies possibilities in the project design. It is noted that the prospects for the development of control systems lie in the field of system enhancement in the direction of improving low and top levels of automated process control systems. The widespread introduction of automated control systems, their unlimited possibilities attract the users and predetermine further improvement process control soft- and hardware.
