Modern water management
Endress+Hauser takes up the challenge as a leading producer of measuring technology. We are your partners in the areas of maintenance strategies and calibration services. We are involved in innovative communication technologies such as Fieldbus or e-commerce, right up to overriding topics such as consulting and engineering services. We are also your partners when the topics require competent people at your side for all matters concerning measurement and control technology.
Waste Water treatment
Increasing industrialization and population growth has caused tremendous contamination of surface waters during the last decades. As a consequence, the laws regarding environmental protection have been tightened in many countries. To fulfill these regulations means increasing the number and the efficiency of waste water treatment plants. Today it is necessary to use ongoing treatment processes and control them by means of measurement and control systems. In-service monitoring has become more extensive and diverse. Waste water treatment not only includes operating, supervising, servicing and repairing equipment, it also involves the key topics of operational flow, monitoring and controlling, measuring, analyzing, recording and evaluating. This ensures that the key processes, the reduction of hydrocarbons, of nitrate, ammonium and phosphates are carried out in a most efficient way in large as well as in small treatment plants.
The driving factor in today’s investment in waste water treatment must be cost reduction. The only way to maintain high standards while reducing costs is to invest in highly sophisticated measurement and process control technology, ideally from a supplier offering the whole basket of instrument
From integration to automation
With the introduction of communication technologies like HART ®, PROFIBUS ® and FOUNDATION ™ Fieldbus a little more than ten years ago, the barriers between field instruments and the system level began to disappear. The instruments became more intelligent and an integral part of the automation architecture. Because we recognized this development at an early stage Endress+Hauser has been actively involved in different standardizing bodies and user organizations since the beginnings of fieldbus technology. In this way, we want to ensure that our customers stay in touch with new trends.
A fieldbus connection offers much more than a process variable from a field instruments. Instrument status, maintenance and diagnostic information are available to be transferred from the process to the control room. This information makes it possible to increase the availability of the plant and to optimize processes. Endress+Hauser ensures the integration of this information into the system environment.
To this end, we support both technologies that are established in the market as well as the new FDT integration technology for Plant Asset Management. FieldCare is a Plant Asset Management solution offering commissioning, condition monitoring and access to diagnostic information from the digital process instruments. In addition, we offer comprehensive engineering services for the integration of field instruments into all relevant process control and asset management systems in the process industry. Field instruments are the source of the information to be measured in order to perform wastewater treatment. Endress+Hauser can keep the process running by monitoring process complications due to inlet water flow and pollutant variations while helping to maintain effluent standards. Plant supervision and control are useful tools in performing the treatment process in order to improve efficiency and save energy, reagents and other direct costs.
The key is obtaining representative measurements as closely as possible to the true process control conditions. Filtering and sampling systems used in conjunction with smart analyzers and plant supervision tools from Endress+Hauser can aid in improving the efficiency of the waste water treatment process control. Our solution concept embraces these aspects, and if desired, automatic measuring stations can be supplied on specific designs. With Endress+Hauser, those involved in procurement and engineering can be confident in the knowledge that we have your needs in mind during start-up and commissioning of your flow, level and pressure measuring point requirements.
