At Processplus, we pride ourselves on delivering intelligent engineering solutions that not only meet current operational needs but also pave the way for future site expansion. Our recent project at a client’s Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) is a prime example of this forward-thinking approach.
The client required the replacement of two aged and unreliable inlet flowmeters, as well as two storm open channel flowmeters, to ensure accurate and consistent measurement. In addition, the client sought to upgrade the site infrastructure to allow for seamless expansion in the future. This included automating new Rotork inlet valves using 4-20mA control signals from the flowmeters and installing new field services. Complete with marshalling panels and spare capacity, wired back to the MCC.
Processplus provided a detailed, all-encompassing quotation to deliver every aspect of the client's brief:
Following our meticulous planning, we carried out all preparatory works at our dedicated workshop. Panels and enclosures were pre-built, labelled, and tested before being transported to site. Over a four-week period, our experienced team completed the on-site electrical installation. Including cable pulls, glanding, terminating, labelling, and ferruling to the highest standard.
As Siemens solution partners, our team expertly commissioned the open channel instruments, while hot tapping of the pipelines was conducted by SWAN Pipelines. Nivus engineers then completed the commissioning of the inlet flowmeters, ensuring a fully integrated and functional system.
The project was delivered safely, efficiently, and without incident. A testament to the strong collaboration between the client, subcontractors, and our team. The upgraded instrumentation is now ready for integration into the MCC, allowing for enhanced control and future system growth.
This project highlights Processplus’s capability not just to meet the brief, but to think ahead. We were proud to be involved in this modernisation project that equips the site with robust, scalable infrastructure ready for tomorrow’s needs.
