In today’s water and wastewater treatment plants, uncompromising reliability and maximum availability under extreme conditions are called for: humidity, grit, sludge and in some cases corrosion causing gases, such as hydrogen sulphide or chlorine, place demands on components and equipment. Hirschmann’s product spectrum was engineered to meet these heavy duty requirements over the long term, and to ensure top performance and absolute reliability in water supply and wastewater treatment plant networks.
Modern water treatment plants require a high degree of automation to ensure maximum operational efficiency. This is why remote equipment monitoring from a central control room has become indispensable. Network security plays a decisive role as well, for instance in preventing a network malfunction or breakdown due to sabotage or manipulation. Hirschmann, offers a wide range of products to take on these challenges:
* Switches for easy mounting in the control cabinet.
* Wireless and security solutions.
* Simple monitoring of data flow, instruments and power.
* Network solutions for reliable early-warning systems.
* Secure service access to the network.
In water tanks or tanks in which chemical substances are stored, reliable and secure flow-through monitoring and control are essential. Products from Belden, and its Hirschmann and Lumberg Automation brands, deliver a wide selection of options to ensure outstanding performance even under extreme application conditions:
* Measuring and monitoring tank filling levels, flow-through rates and water temperature.
* Monitoring oxygen content, pH values, etc.
* Signal transmission over long distances from tank to control room.
* Reliable monitoring even under extreme conditions.
* Switches for easy switchboard assembly.
For monitoring filter and storage basins, which are often located far from the control room, products deliver reliable performance in applications such as:
* Signal transmission from the basins to the control room.
* Simple configuration and diagnosis.
* Easy integration of additional applications.
* Increased plant reliability.
* Monitoring of storage basins via wireless and security solutions.
