The term water treatment primarily refers to plants for the treatment of drinking water and wastewater, but this area also includes control systems for pumping stations, ship locks, well automation, etc.

The integration of modern solutions in the protection of natural water sources in the process of production and processing of wastewater, contributes to the creation of conditions for the development of a healthy environment with healthy human resources. World trends indicate that clean water sources will be more important in the 21st century than oil and natural gas sources. This indicates to us that we must, in every possible way, protect our resources.
The main goal when considering any of the above water supply systems is the protection of the environment, natural resources and energy savings.
Thanks to many years of experience in the field of process automation in water supply, SCA is able to provide optimal solutions for monitoring and control using the latest generation of equipment and software tools.

SCADA

SCADA system (eng. Supervisory control and data acquisition) consists of software and hardware elements that enable:

  • Control of industrial processes locally or from remote locations
  • Real-time monitoring, data acquisition and data processing
  • Direct interaction with devices, such as sensors, valves, pumps, motors, etc. via the HMI application
  • Notification of the events and alarms and their archiving
  • View trends

Modern SCADA systems provide access to the production process from anywhere in the world. The introduction of modern IT standards, such as SQL and web-based applications in SCADA software, has significantly improved the efficiency, security, productivity and reliability of SCADA systems.

For the needs of developing SCADA applications in the field of water treatment, SCA uses SCADA systems from renowned world manufacturers: zenon COPA-DATA, WinCC Siemens, CX-Supervisor Omron, National Instruments Lookout, etc.

Typical applications support operation on one or more monitors, or on one or more PC workstations. Systems with a SCADA server and one or more clients or with redundant servers are also often used.

Remote monitoring

Industrial automation is no longer limited to the walls of the production plant. Increasingly, control tasks are performed via remote communication. Innovative digital technologies are increasingly transforming, not only the water treatment sector, but also other industrial sectors.

For the needs of remote communication, SCA selects adequate telecommunication equipment and communication protocols, to establish a communication link between the production process and the remote SCADA system.

In the field of remote monitoring, we also include the notification of warnings/alarms to users via e-mail or SMS notifications.
