Water & Wastewater SCADA

Introduction to SCADA Engineering

SCADA systemsSCADA, or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, is a computer system used for monitoring and controlling industrial processes, including water and wastewater treatment. SCADA systems are essential for the efficient operation of treatment plants, providing real-time data on system performance, enabling remote control of equipment, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

SCADA systems play a vital role in water and wastewater treatment by offering continuous monitoring of the treatment process, from the intake of raw water to the release of treated water or wastewater back into the environment. This monitoring ensures that the quality of the water being processed meets the required standards and minimizes the impact on the environment. SCADA systems also provide valuable data to help plant operators optimize processes, reduce energy consumption, and improve overall system reliability.

In the water treatment sector, SCADA systems are used to manage processes such as water intake, filtration, disinfection, and distribution, ensuring the delivery of safe and clean water to consumers. In wastewater treatment, SCADA systems help manage processes like preliminary treatment, biological treatment, and sludge handling, ensuring the proper treatment and disposal of wastewater to protect the environment and public health.
