1
Intake
Intake pumps SST-P-01 and SST-P-02 lift raw water from the summer storage tank over a cascade aerator into a measuring channel with a weir.
We automate:Duty and standby selection, run hours per pump, dry-run protection, and raw water flow, pH and TDS (RW-FIT-101, RW-pH-101, RW-TDS-101) with high and low alarms.
2
Dosing and mixing
Alum solution from tank T-01-A or T-01-B, each with its own agitator, flows by gravity into flash mixer AG-01, which spreads it through the raw water.
We automate:Dosing paced to inlet flow and trimmed to turbidity and pH, tank level interlocks from the AL-LS switches, and agitators blocked when a tank is low or inlet flow is lost.
3
Clarification
Paddles FL-01 to FL-04 stir the dosed water gently so floc forms in the centre zone, the floc settles in the outer zone, and the bridge DR-01 scrapes sludge to a sump.
We automate:Paddle and bridge drive supervision with run feedback and trip alarms, desludging timers, and sludge pumps SP-01 and SP-02 sent to the nala.
4
Filtration
Four rapid gravity filters, RF-01 to RF-04, pass the settled water down through sand and gravel. A dirty bed is washed with air and then water from the roof tank.
We automate:A wash requested on head loss or run time, the 5-step backwash sequence with air scour, one bed at a time, roof tank filling by WT-P-01A/B, and travel alarms on all 22 MOVs.
5
Disinfection
Filtered water is chlorinated and held in a baffled contact tank long enough for the chlorine to act before it goes to storage.
We automate:Residual chlorine trim from CW-RCL-101, filtered flow, pH and TDS (FW-FIT-102, FW-pH-102, FW-TDS-102), with IS 10500 limits set as the alarm limits.
6
Storage and supply
Treated water collects in the pure water tank, and three pump pairs deliver it into the SEZ, Naidupeta and Athivaram headers, each with its own flow meter.
We automate:Duty rotation per header, daily and monthly header totals from PH-FIT-01 to 03, and dry-run protection for every pump from the FW-LS-101 tank level.
7
Control room
PLC-01 and an iFIX SCADA station run the whole plant from one room, with remote overhead tanks and pump houses linked by RTU over 4G.
We automate:Alarms with acknowledgement, trends kept in the historian, the daily report of volume, quality and energy, and status from the remote sites.
