Title of Presentation
Protection of your effluent treatment plant by automatic diversion and control of “out of specification” flows.
Presentation Synopsis
Out of specification flows discharged to an effluent treatment plant can have devastating effects on biological health. Manual control and diversion of these flows requires significant operator input which can result in inefficient plant operation, damage to biological health of the system and out of consent final effluent discharges. A case study at one of the country’s most well-known breweries will demonstrate how effluent can be analysed in real-time and how the process of automatic diversion can be achieved. The automatic diversion system also decides when the plant has sufficient treatment capacity to accept the diverted flows without damaging plant performance.
