Formellino Wastewater Treatment Improves Plant Criticalities With Proficy HMI/SCADA

Wastewater treatment facilities facing severe influent variability—driven by seasonal storm events and heavy industrial discharges—cannot maintain optimal effluent quality using fixed, time-based processing schedules. Operating blowers and aeration systems on static schedules frequently results in over-oxygenation, driving up energy expenditures without delivering biological benefits.

Replacing static logic with dynamic, sensor-driven control allows facilities to adjust sewage retention times and aeration intensity dynamically based on live chemical parameters such as dissolved oxygen, ammonia, and nitrates. Redundant controller hardware paired with optical field networks ensures continuous data feed reliability to central control rooms. This real-time visibility prevents toxic discharges, streamlines operator workflows, and yields dramatic energy savings. Access the full story to see how transitioning from fixed schedules to intelligent predictive control cuts energy consumption by 30 percent.
