For many years Festo has been particularly active in the area
of supplying drinking water and wastewater disposal. The
South African national company recently supplied a complete
process automation solution for the newly constructed water
treatment plant, Klein Brak River, in the Mossel Bay district in
the Western Cape. Festo was the main supplier of the control
system for the untreated water inlet, the automation of the
filter system and the control unit. The expansion of the
plant’s capacity to 15 million litres a day was completed after
a short design and development phase in December 2010.
