Scada chosen for Eastern Cape wastewater facilities
June 2006
SCADA/HMI
Citect, one of the world's largest, realtime intelligence and industrial automation software companies along with its partner, SSE Cape Town, is to deploy CitectScada at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality in the Eastern Cape region. The project covers both the treatment works and remote monitoring of pump stations.
By standardising on the same communications, telemetry and scada platform, the municipality is able to seamlessly integrate the treatment and raw sewage pumping process to reduce operating and training expenses. The fully redundant CitectScada system operates on two servers to provide operational and statistical information from a central control room. The system's display clients in various locations offer full functionality and communicate over a wireless network to the servers in the control room. The data gathered from the pump trip alarms, sump levels and intrusion alarms provide valuable data for future growth planning.
"System architecture is one of Citect's outstanding features. CitectScada's scalability makes it easier to implement future plant upgrades and expansions without having to modify the existing hardware or software," says Rodney Myburg, manager Wastewater Conveyance, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality.
The plant benefits from the scada's superior scalability and its unique visualisation tool, the Process Analyst. The Process Analyst combines trend and alarm displays on a single integrated screen. Operators can easily determine the cause of process disturbances and take quicker action.
"Citect is very pleased to be working with our partner, SSE Cape Town, to provide a fully redundant scada system for the largest telemetry project in the Eastern Cape in many years. We are also confident the scalability and open architecture will serve its present needs as well as future growth," comments Wilhelm Swart, South African managing director, Citect Corporation.
