Siemens offers efficient and smart autmation solutions for water and sewage treatment

With the slogan "Making things right," Siemens is presenting intelligent automation and drive systems and industrial software for efficient water and sewage treatment at this year's IFAT from May 5 to 9, 2014 in Munich. The focus will be on integrated solutions supporting industry and municipalities with minimizing the consumption of resources and energy while maximizing security of supply. This includes integrated planning and engineering tools as well as seamless interaction of automation and drive components. A further focus of the exhibition appearance will be "smart water" – intelligent solutions based on industry software. For this, Siemens will be showing the water management system SIWA, a modular software solution with which the operation of water supply networks can be optimized and drain systems and sewage flows can be intelligently controlled. Software modules are also used to detect leaks in water transport systems and water distribution networks and perform computer-aided simulation of complex pipe systems.

Efficient water and sewage treatment starts at the planning stage. Siemens will be presenting an extensive planning tool called Consultant DVD at IFAT. It contains prepared text modules for invitations to bid, manuals, product information, and quick links. This gives plant planners effective support during all planning phases for plants in the water industry. Siemens will also be showing how, with integrated engineering, work processes can be efficiently parallelized, costs lowered, and resources saved. The COMOS engineering and data platform and the Simatic PCS7 process control system enable central data management for plant planners and operators throughout the planning and engineering phase right up to the operating phase. This permits efficient holistic plant management over the entire life cycle of an industrial plant so that time to market can be shortened, costs saved, and quality enhanced.

"Making things right" in the water and sewage industry also means smart management of plants as well as water supply and sewage networks. Siemens will present the modular water management system SIWA for pipelines, drinking water supply and sewage networks at IFAT. This "smart water" solution is based on the Simatic PCS 7 process control system and contains software modules that can be flexibly combined. Depending on operational requirements, these support the operator with optimizing plant operation, detecting and locating leaks, and performing highly dynamic simulation of pipe systems. Operation of water supply networks can be optimized using efficient schedules for pumps, tanks and waterworks. Complex interactions within the network can also be analyzed by computer-aided simulation of hydraulic behavior in the water supply system. For operators of sewage networks and sewage treatment plants, software modules are also provided that permit control of the sewage system and of the wastewater flows to even out the load on sewage treatment plants.
