Set Point Turnkey Solutions (SPTS) has been awarded a R2,5 million contract by Degremont of Southern Africa for the water treatment plant at La Marie in Central Mauritius, part of the Mare Aux Vacoas Water Supply Project.
Degremont was contracted by the Central Water Authority of Mauritius (CWA) for a complete turnkey civil, mechanical and electrical contract on Phase 2 of the project. They, in turn, contracted SPTS for the complete turnkey electrical and control contract, including the design, manufacture, testing, site supervision and commissioning of all electrical and control equipment.
According to Surehka Seeth, Project and Proposals Manager of Degremont, the company had little hesitation in contracting SPTS for this project. "SPTS is helpful and co-operative at the tender stage and they have a competitively priced, qualitative product," said Seeth.
According to Freddy Taggar of SPTS the electrical portion will comprise three MCCs in total, all with remote PLC stations. One indoors segregated MCC housing the entire filter's backwash drives, one indoors open type MCC housing the entire chemical dosing drives, and one outdoors weatherproof MCC housing the sludge handling drives. SPTS intend using Soft Starters and variable speed drives to simplify the process.
"The plant will be semi-automatic with some instructions being manually initiated and automatically executed. The operator will have a scada system and will be able to view the entire plant and process at a glance. The control system will be using a PLC," said Taggar.
The entire project is scheduled to be completed in three years and RBF Technology, also a member of the Set Point Technology group, will manufacture the MCCs.
