Modernization of the Water Purification System for Sewage Treatment Plants Using Schneider Electric Equipment

Abstract

Currently, the issue of modernization of outdated automatic control systems at strategically important infrastructure facilities of the city, such as water supply and water treatment, is urgent. Using modern automation equipment allows for improving the environmental situation and increasing the reliability of technological processes. This article discusses the development of a new automated system for the biological treatment facility of the Almaty Su sewage treatment plant to replace the outdated current automation. A control system for air conditioning machines, based on Schneider Electric equipment, has been developed using EcoStructure Control Expert software to manage the Modicon M340 controller. Additionally, using EcoStructure Machine Expert, a control system has been created for air injection machines during the biological cleaning phase, which uses the Modicon M241 controller.A process control mnemonic circuit was designed to switch between Modicon M340 and M241 controllers. Remote I/O architectures were developed using the Architecture Builder to create network configurations. An emergency protection system was implemented on Honeywell equipment at Kazakh-British Technical University (KBTU) JSC, using Safety Controller and Manager tools. Security levels at SIL enterprises were calculated.
