BUSKI, the public water supply company was looking for an experienced technology partner to modernize one of its water treatment plants. Through the invitation to tender, they were seeking to achieve five goals:
Systematic automation should increase operational safety. At the same time, the resulting decrease in the consumption of rinsing water and filter sand should reduce the costs of the water treatment. Sensor technology should help the operators to identify faults quickly so that preventative maintenance can ensure seamless operation. And the metering of the germicidal chemicals should be controlled as demand dictates, in order to make the water odorless. Nevertheless, any health risk for the consumers should be kept to a minimum. Targeted training prepared the staff excellently for the efficient operation of the new plant.
In addition to products and accessories, Festo also offers comprehensive water technology solutions. Our specialists supported the Bursa-based Turkish water supplier from the first planning steps right up to operational staff training.
Together with BUSKI, Festo specialists created a needs analysis that included all the key stations for the treatment process: The filter basins, the metering, the clarifier, the sludge thickener and the chlorination. The result was a convincing concept comprising all the requirements such as full automation, smooth operation and simple maintenance as well as staff training.
