Applications
We've helped customers manage widespread, multiple-plant operations from a central operations center; meet the challenges associated with aging infrastructures and population growth; comply with stringent environmental regulations; realize performance efficiencies; and attain significant, long-term maintenance cost savings.
Enterprise applications get the right information to the right people and right places at the right time. In order to optimize your business, process, and assets, it is necessary to integrate real-time process and equipment information with transaction based enterprise business systems:
The steady balance of plant demands and energy conservation plagues plant operators on a daily basis. Emerson's Electrical Control and Energy Management system bridges the gap by providing plants with the proper system management to catch the less-than-optimal equipment operations, and take action to return the system to normal - a cost effective solution to managing and maintaining efficient energy consumption.
Water and wastewater treatment facilities must manage plant assets by implementing an energy management program that balances plant demands with energy conservation. Having the capability to perform on-line contingency analysis based on current plant conditions and being able to implement predetermined strategies for a variety of abnormal or emergency situations is simply sound energy management practice.
Monitoring energy through a real-time contingency and optimization program allows plants to operate cost-effectively even during upsets or emergency situations. While consequences of a disturbance may not result in a direct loss of water treatment, if not responded to correctly, equipment can become damaged, extending the impact and severity of the original disturbance.
Emerson's Electrical Control and Energy Management system monitors electrical conditions and provides accurate response to changing conditions, allowing water and wastewater treatment plants to achieve stability in a timely manner. The system minimizes costs associated with energy consumption by properly managing plant assets - if continuous measurement of equipment performance reveals that a particular piece of equipment is out of its statistical process range, the system responds with the appropriate corrective action.
Energy consumption, if not managed efficiently, will result in higher energy costs, higher maintenance costs, quality inconsistencies, and even loss of the water treatment process. Emerson's Electrical Control and Energy Management system is proven to help water and wastewater treatment facilities meet energy demands while decreasing costs and improving plant efficiency and availability. In fact, investment in an Emerson Electrical Control and Energy Management system is typically recovered in less than two years.
Application Software
As the pressure builds for plant to maintain environmentally-sound and energy-efficient operations, Emerson continues to offer solutions that meet customers' needs.
For a quarter of a century Emerson has energized the water and wastewater treatment industries with innovative control solutions. Using Ovation™ expert technology, our strategies help customers ensure cleaner, safer water supplies and reduce environmental hazards. By eliminating the need for manual control, providing total plant control from one centralized location, and reducing unexpected downtime, our control systems enable water, wastewater, and sewage service providers to operate more efficiently and accurately. This added control helps our customers maintain operations to meet environmental standards.
Access to real-time information helps assure both process quality and compliance with environmental regulations. Tighter overall control and process visibility made possible by Ovation's integrated control architecture improves the management of treatment processes. By constantly adjusting chemical deployment based on flow levels and critical process measurement, for example, Ovation ensures better control over amounts of potentially harmful chemicals used in the treatment process. And, Ovation's integrated asset management software ensures that critical equipment, including mechanical equipment, electrical systems, process equipment and instruments and valves are properly operating and helping to meet environmental mandates.
When some of the largest metropolitan centers in the United States require efficient, constant monitoring and control, they turn to the experts, Emerson. They have invested millions in our techonology and in doing so have realized significant operation cost-savings, and many middle-sector plants have found the same as well:
