Mikrodev products and SCADA software offer solutions in the monitoring and control of clean drinking water systems, wastewater treatment plants, agricultural irrigation systems.
In our world where water resources are decreasing and global warming is increasing, the correct use of water resources and water management have become more and more important. Mikrodev products and SCADA software offer solutions in the monitoring and control of clean drinking water systems, wastewater treatment plants, and agricultural irrigation systems. The amount of water produced and consumed can be regularly monitored and reported, and fault tracking can be done. In this way, water and energy savings are achieved and the labor force is reduced.
Water Distribution Systems
The SCADA system is a software and hardware set used for real-time control and monitoring.
SCADA abbreviation stands for “Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.” This software is used to provide top-level control and data acquisition for various industrial or commercial systems. SCADA systems generally provide top-level control and data analysis for physically dispersed facilities. It can be used for remotely managed systems such as energy, water, industrial automation, and traffic management.
In regard to the drinking water facilities, the SCADA system is used to control the water treatment, storage, distribution, and measurement processes. The SCADA system essentially monitors the performance of equipment in facilities and records data, allowing facility management to control the proper use of water resources and water quality. Additionally, the SCADA system can track and analyze the operational status of equipment in facilities to detect possible system failures or interruptions.
Within the scope of that, Mikrodev RTU and PLC products are used for tank level monitoring in drinking water distribution system control, water flow monitoring in transmission lines, pump/valve controls in wells and tanks. Many functions such as aging control of pumps, level hysteresis controls, proportional valve on/off can be easily programmed with Mikrodev products through industrial programming languages.
The amount of water produced can be monitored and reported on ViewPLUS SCADA on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis. Pump valve auto/manual controls and alarm monitoring are also done through the system. With the support of the graphical map, the system can be followed live on the map.
The SCADA systems in which Mikrodev products are preferred provide the proper and efficient use of water resources. For example, by collecting water consumption data, excessive use of water resources can be prevented. In addition, by instantly detecting faults or leaks that may occur in water treatment plants and storage systems, it minimizes water losses and protects water resources. The SCADA system can also monitor environmental variables such as water temperature, pH, and water level, thus ensuring the quality of water resources and utilizing the automation system for environmental protection.
Wastewater Treatment System
Wastewater Treatment Automation is an automatic control and management system for the technologies and equipment used in water treatment plants. Developed based on efficiency, these automation systems perform critical functions such as controlling pumps and valves, dosing chemicals, and monitoring pH and chlorine levels in water treatment plants. These systems ensure the efficient and effective operation of the systems they are used in.
In this context, Mikrodev automation products can be preferred in treatment plants, drainage systems, solid waste treatment and chlorine dosing systems. Pump and valve controls in treatment systems are done automatically or manually in a certain order thanks to Mikrodev products. It is aimed to purify the water correctly by sending chemical stabilizers to the system in appropriate amounts and at appropriate intervals.
In chlorine dosing systems, automatic or manual chlorination is performed according to the storage level. Many parameters such as chlorine level in the system and pH value of water are sent to remote systems via Mikrodev products. In solid waste systems, Mikrodev products work with high strength in environments operating at high temperatures.
Mikrodev products enable monitoring and analysis of the performance and operating status of water treatment plants, making it possible to detect and prevent abnormal situations and potential problems in advance. From an environmental perspective, Wastewater Treatment Automation also supports the proper use of water resources and water management. By means of that automation system, the technologies and equipment used in water treatment plants are automatically controlled, ensuring the efficient and effective operation of the facilities. Additionally, the performance and operating status of water treatment plants can be monitored and analyzed, supporting the proper use of water resources and water management in a positive way. Particularly, in areas with a high probability of water scarcity, Wastewater Treatment Automation enables more effective and efficient use of water resources.
Agricultural Irrigation System
Agricultural irrigation systems are systems used to meet the water needs of agricultural areas. These systems generally work with the principle of regularly monitoring and controlling the water level in the soil, weather conditions and living needs. Automation enables automatic control of water flow for the agricultural irrigation system, regulation of water quantity and water pressure, monitoring of water resources, and even soil and plant analysis in some cases.
Mikrodev products are used in projects such as automatic irrigation systems, pivot irrigation systems and greenhouse automation. Agricultural irrigation system control is done automatically or manually. Each arm in pivot irrigation can be controlled over Mikrodev PLC or RTU products with time adjustment. The analysis of each irrigation area can be done separately on the system (such as total system runtime information). In addition, the ambient temperature and humidity values can be monitored with the information received from the sensors. The control and monitoring of the engine, pump and valve that provide agricultural irrigation is also done through the system. A possible fault information is followed from remote systems. System data can be logged over the remote system and historical reporting can be made. Therefore automation of agricultural irrigation systems not only increases the efficiency and effectiveness of agricultural production, but also supports the correct use of water resources and water management.
In Turkey, there are certain issues in terms of the correct and efficient use of water resources, extending from the past to the recent days. Unfortunately, this situation directly affects the “water management” principle, which is one of the most crucial criteria for today. A large part of Turkey has an arid climate in terms of geography and water resources for agricultural use are limited to this extent. At the same time, factors such as environmental pollution, uncontrolled industrial activities, unplanned and excessive agriculture are affecting the water quality in the country more and more negatively every year. In order to use water resources fairly and effectively, more effective methods should be followed in water management and the opportunities provided by today’s technologies such as automation systems to institutions should be utilized at the maximum level.
The use of automation systems supported by Mikrodev products for issues such as agricultural irrigation, water purification and prevention of floods also allows for more efficient management of water resources for the future.
