Veolia Arab El-Madabegh STP Comprehensive Automation System

Veolia, a global leader in optimized resource management, partnered with MISC to implement a complete, state-of-the-art automation solution for the Arab El-Madabegh Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). The project involved the design and supply of a fully integrated control system to ensure efficient, reliable, and centralized monitoring and control of the complex treatment processes across the entire plant.

Project Scope

• Design, supply, and testing of four Local Control Panels (LCPs) for distributed plant areas, each housing an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC and a PanelView Plus 7 HMI.
• Supply and configuration of a central SCADA system, including a server, client workstation, 80-inch display, and engineering laptop, all running on FactoryTalk View SE software.
• Establishment of a robust plant network using managed Ethernet switches and 1450 meters of fiber optic cable for seamless communication.
• Provision of UPS systems for all LCPs and the SCADA room to ensure 90 minutes of backup power.

Key Benefits

• Implementation of a robust, scalable, and centralized control architecture for comprehensive plant-wide supervision and data acquisition.
• Enhanced process reliability and operator effectiveness through high-performance ControlLogix PLCs and intuitive local/centralized HMIs.
• Increased system resilience in harsh environments with the use of conformally coated controllers and I/O modules in critical locations.
• Future-proof solution with extensive I/O capacity, HART communication capability, and a dedicated engineering station for easy maintenance and expansion.

Outcome

MISC delivered a turnkey automation infrastructure that empowered Veolia to achieve superior operational control and efficiency at the Arab El-Madabegh STP. The system provides Veolia’s operators with unparalleled visibility and command over the treatment processes, ensuring compliance with environmental standards, optimizing resource usage, and guaranteeing the plant’s reliable performance.
