Wastewater Treatment Plant Monitoring
The United States has one of the best wastewater treatment systems in the world. However, with the aging infrastructure such as wastewater treatment plants, lift stations, and sewer pipes, the industry now faces a significant challenge in maintaining and advancing their achievements in protecting public health. For this reason, it is necessary to monitor specific information to adhere to state requirements.
Your plant is unique, as is the information you monitor. Hence, we have developed a cloud-based solution to gather the data you need. We can help you make better decisions, save money, and stay compliant.
Receive notifications to monitor your wastewater treatment facility
The first line of defense in maintaining our aging infrastructure are the professionals who monitor these systems daily. After that, there is received notifications, especially if the plant is unattended. Currently, these professionals often utilize on-premise SCADA systems to monitor the plant and outdated alarm dialers for notifications. New technology has allowed for substantial improvements to these systems. As a result, these technologies provide more efficient monitoring and more economical maintenance. Adding a cloud based solution to your system can make all the difference in the world.
Wastewater treatment plants have complex processes and although packaged plants may be simpler, both need constant monitoring. Being unaware of an issue is not an excuse for the EPA – their concern is compliancy.
Monitor key metrics to stay compliant
- Effluent Flow, Temperature, pH, DO, SS
- Influent Wet Well Level and Flow Rate
- High and Low Alarm
- Pump Run Status and Cycle Count
- Blower Status
- Pump Runtime Hours
- Power Failure and Generator Status
- Pump Fail
- Flow Totalization
Fully Customizable Cloud Based SCADA for Wastewater Treatment
For a small to medium sized municipality, the expense of a full featured SCADA package is often not required. In many cases, they do not solve the real problem. Operators at small municipalities are spread thin; often they are the water, wastewater, and streets department. Mid-sized municipalities operate 24/7 but no one is there during the night. Having a computer at a central location makes very little sense when no one is there. The amount of information that is needed to operate can be boiled down to a few key metrics. A cloud based solution allows the operator access to information from anywhere at any time. (see Case study-Replacing SCADA)

Save Money
- Interface with existing automation equipment like on-premise SCADA and PLCs and extend them to the cloud cost effectively.
- Stop taking unnecessary trips to the plant to troubleshoot issues.
- Reduce administration time sorting through unorganized data.
Alerts
- Gain peace of mind with remote monitoring and alerts.
- Reduce equipment downtime.
- Check in on operations while you are on the go.
- Eliminate unplanned expenses due to equipment failure damages.
Compliance
- Add redundancy to your existing system.
- Eliminate avoidable EPA violations due to low or high chemical levels, or effluent water that is out of discharge limits.
- Compile information for monthly reports.
- Knowing about a simple pump failure may be the difference between being in compliance or not.
Sending lift station information to your existing SCADA
Wastewater systems have lift stations and you want to see your remote site information on your centralized on-premise SCADA system. It is for this reason that we created a secure method of delivering this information to your plant automation platform. More specifically, we can securely deliver information to your programmable controllers through their native protocol or to your on-premise SCADA packages via OPC.
We are not just a cloud based solution, we are also a transport mechanism. Therefore, we can collect information from remotely located stations
and populate on-premise automation systems. As a result, you can view this information on your local display and utilize your local alarming, trending and reporting system.
