Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment involves numerous power and process intensive applications. The treated wastewater that is pumped back into a body of water must also meet stringent regulatory standards and must be potable. As a result, energy efficiency and regulatory compliance are key to customers and municipalities. We have the wastewater treatment systems to help you operate your plant efficiently, maintain water quality and comply with existing regulations.
Wastewater Treatment Plant Solutions
Protect Water Quality and Reduce Energy Consumption
Some of the processes that are used in wastewater treatment require significant amounts of energy and include:
- Taking CO2 generated from sludge processing and turn it into methane gas to fuel other processes in the facility
- Using aeration basin blowers to dissolve oxygen and encourage microorganism growth
All of these processes benefit from solutions that monitor and control energy use.
Wastewater companies using an integrated control and visualization system and SCADA system for wastewater treatment can expect reductions in design time and enhanced process control. Advanced networking and diagnostic capabilities and increased access to process data also enable better preventive and predictive maintenance.
Our portfolio of products and systems, expertise and network of knowledgeable solution partners provide you with the tools you require. Our technology helps industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plant operators:
- Reduce energy costs
- Optimize cost of engineering and implementation
- Minimize lifecycle costs
- Meet regulatory compliance
