ZOO Garden Process Automation

INDUSTRY:

Water treatment

FOCUS:

The main challenge was to automate the control of a large number of pumps, filters, and treatment devices while maintaining high standards of water quality and reliability.

OBJECTIVE:

The primary objective was to create a fully automated and integrated water treatment system that could efficiently manage and control all components, ensuring consistent water quality and operational efficiency.

SOLUTION:

  • Siemens 1515-2 PN PLC
  • Siemens ET200-SP distributed IO
  • Siemens G120 frequency inverters
  • Schneider protection devices
  • Phoenix Contact IPC, switches
  • Rittal VX enclosures
  • Ignition SCADA

PROJECT DURATION:

6 months

THE PROJECT COMPRISED OF:

Electrical design:

  • 1 * MCC panel – S7 1515-2 PN PLC, ET200-SP distributed IO, Siemens G120 frequency inverters, Schneider protection devices, Phoenix Contact IPC, switches, PS, etc.
  • Bloc diagram of the entire automation system

Automation:

  • The operating programs for the pumps, depending of the season;
  • Adjustment loops for the automatic filling of the water tanks;
  • Control of actuators for the water treatment systems when the process parameters require this and the monitoring of all water quality parameters.
  • Control and integration of all other component in a fully automated system.
  • Integration in SCADA

Components of the project:

  • 34 frequency inverter controlled pumps;
  • Sand filters – 18 pcs;
  • Filters type “Drum filter” – 4 pcs;
  • UV filters – 10 pcs;
  • Ozone generator – 5 pcs;
  • Protein Skimmer – 5 pcs;
  • Actuators – 284 pcs;
  • Analog sensors – approx. 60 pcs (level, ozone, temp and humidity sensors);
  • 4 AHU and 1 chiller.
