SCADA and remote monitoring for WTP, WWTP, pumping stations and distribution networks. High availability and regulatory compliance for hydraulic infrastructure.
Water cycle automation spans from abstraction and purification to distribution, use and treatment. These are critical infrastructures that must operate continuously, often in geographically distributed installations with minimal operating personnel, making remote monitoring and control essential.
At Bluemation we have developed automation projects for water treatment plants (WTP), wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), pumping stations and distribution networks with pressure control and leak detection. Our systems comply with the requirements of service operators and regulatory bodies.
We work with sector standard protocols: IEC 60870-5-101/104 for remote monitoring, DNP3, Modbus and OPC-UA for integration with centralised SCADA management systems of the concessionaire or responsible public body.
Pumping stations, reservoirs and measurement points are distributed across the territory and operate unattended. We implement remote monitoring with 4G/fibre communication, autonomous operation on communication loss and automatic alarms for critical events.
Water supply cannot be interrupted. We design redundant architectures with standby PLCs, dual communications and uninterruptible power systems, with automatic failover and redundancy monitoring.
Regulations require continuous monitoring of quality parameters: residual chlorine, turbidity, pH, conductivity. We integrate inline analysers with the control system, with automatic alarms and continuous records for regulatory compliance.
Pumping is the largest energy consumer in the water cycle. We implement pumping group optimisation: variable speed drives, pressure control at optimum efficiency point, off-peak pumping scheduling and consumption reporting.
Service operators need to integrate the SCADA with GIS and asset management platforms. We implement the necessary interfaces for a comprehensive view of the hydraulic infrastructure.
Water is a critical infrastructure subject to the NIS2 directive. We implement network segmentation, industrial VPN, access authentication and protection measures aligned with CCN-CERT recommendations for critical infrastructure.
Automation of purification stages: coagulation-flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. Reagent dosing control, filter management, real-time quality monitoring and regulatory body recording.
Control of water and sludge treatment lines: screening, grit removal, settling, biological treatment (bioreactors, aeration), anaerobic digestion and sludge dewatering. SCADA with alarm management and reporting.
Pumping group automation with variable speed drives: pressure and flow control, staged start management, pump protection, cavitation alarms and energy optimisation.
Remote monitoring systems for distribution networks: pressure and flow measurement at strategic points, pressure regulating valve control, network sectorisation and anomaly detection indicative of leaks.
SCADA platform for centralised management of all installations: georeferenced visualisation, alarm management, data history, operational report generation and regulatory compliance.
Integration of inline analysers (chlorine, turbidity, pH, conductivity, TOC) with the control system. Continuous quality parameter recording, automatic reporting for the regulatory body and alerts on non-compliance.
