Central plant operation management of 6 waterworks, 5 water hydro plants, 13 reservoirs and a multitude of pipe network stations
Early identification and elimination of the vulnerabilities as well as introduction of the long-term plant protection in terms of industrial security as per IT Security Law (KRITIS)
The Westphalia Waterworks GmbH relies on Siemens
process control technology to ensure the quality and quantity of the drinking
water supply for 1.5 million people in the Ruhr area. The central process
control system enables a small service team to efficiently handle the
comprehensive infrastructure.
Process control and automation technology SIMATIC PCS 7 (Multiclient project)
SIMATIC HMI, Panels & IPC
protection technology and circuit breakers by Siemens
converters by Siemens
Sivacon switchgear
Power units and pumps by Siemens AG
Industrial Communication Scalance
Security Assessment for network and system protecion
Simulation of the automation and process behaviour of a complete water treatment plant incl. distribution network based on SIMIT and the SIMIT Solutions Water Library (implemented in 2022), which will be utilized on further plants
For further large-scale plants, SIMIT will be used for project planning and operator training and will accelerate upcoming commissioning activities.
Project Lead at Waterworks Westfalen
Centralized plant management of six waterworks
Minimized risk error thanks to centralized process monitoring and control
Centralized one-man control system saves travel time and staff
all low and medium voltage facilities are observed and controlled directly by PCS 7
Drive ES for PCS 7 for linkage and development of the frequency converters
Clear and easy maintenance
Adaption of the infrastructure and implementation of modern IT-Security measures as per new IT security law (KRITIS)
The simulation software minimizes risks of failures upon updating of process control system and reduces commissioning time of further plants, also thanks to Operator Training System (integrated within SIMIT)
