Festo provided a complete solution for
the automation of the water treatment
process. This made it possible to expand
the capacity of the system by 15,000 cubic
metres of water per day. The scope of
the project included the planning, delivery,
installation, testing and commissioning
of the new raw water flow control system
and the automated filter system.
These examples of successful process
automation in wastewater treatment
show how municipal and industrial waste-
water treatment plants can make an
important contribution to energy-efficient
and process-optimised water treatment.
With intelligent water supply and effi-
cient wastewater treatment working
hand-in-hand, more and more people will
be able to access clean water without
harming the environment.
