The existing wastewater treatment plant at the Schweinfurt North site was no longer able to keep pace with the increases in production. As retrofitting of the existing plant proved to be an uneconomical option, the decision was made to build a new wastewater treatment plant.
In accordance with the existing approvals, the purified wastewater from the new system is "directly discharged" to the nearby River Main. Particular attention is therefore paid to the neutralization plant – not only within ZF, but also by the public and the responsible water authorities.

Implementation by a professional: System Integrator Scheba is a Siemens Solution Partner.
SIMATIC WinCC V7.0 is implemented in a local station and in the control room as SCADA and visualization software.
In the plant, the software runs on an industrial Panel-PC SIMATIC IPC577C.
The plant is controlled by a SIMATIC S7-317 2 PN/DP.

Used Products:

SIMATIC WinCC V7 Basic-SW
SIMATIC Panel PC 577
S7-300

"The Siemens controllers are extremely sophisticated and reliable. For this reason, we were able to design the plant without a redundant structure and therefore make savings."

Mr. Solf, Scheba (System Integrator and Siemens Solution Partner)

ZF benefits from the integration in the company IT infrastructure for the central storage and analysis of data. Printing out and archiving paper documentation is finally a thing of the past. Lastly, the precise and real-time measurement of the pH value achieves the best possible treatment of the waste water with optimum use of resources – and the environment also benefits from this.

The plant has been implemented in a space-saving design for the direct discharge process from a certified Siemens Solution Partner.

As one of the world's leading suppliers of the automotive industry, ZF Friedrichshafen AG manufactures numerous components for drive and chassis technology, as well as active and passive safety components

Project Information: Wastewater treatment rebuild for wastewater from surface treatments in plant Schweinfurt Nord. Treated water is directly discharged into river Main, thus a special attention is on the treatment plant.
