Drinking-Water Treatment Plants (DWTP) / Waste-Water Treatment Plant (WWTP)

Growing water scarcity, population growth and the subsequent need for waste-water treatment for its later reuse and discharge have meant that the drinking and waste-water sector has become one of the fastest growing sectors in recent years.

Telvent offers its automation and control solutions for DWTP and WWTP, which assure an optimal real-time operation of different processes suiting changing water demand requirements, reuse and discharge. Complying with environmental regulations with different water quality levels depending on different uses of water and discharge, means that that these plants require secure, robust, reliable and suitable control systems for each specific plant and operation requirement.

Telvent’s solutions have the additional objective of streamlining operation costs by reducing energy consumption and efficient chemical dosing achieving optimal management of treatment.

Desalination Plants

According to the Water Resources Institute, 250 million people do not have access to their minimum daily water requirement, and 400 million consume poor quality water. Desalination plants allow sea water to become an available water resource. That is why many governments and institutions are increasingly likely to develop emergency plans based on desalination plants to counter the effects of drought.

Telvent’s experience in implementing solutions for water management and optimization of energy consumption are vital points in the design and construction of desalination plants. Telvent’s control solution includes simulation packages of operation and risk management, aimed at minimizing brine discharge and ensuring secure switching between different operation modes.
