Outlier's Role

Reprogrammed a skid that had been retrofitted with the client's proprietary filtration technology for their pilot.
 

TECHNOLOGIES

  • Siemens S7-1200 PLC
  • Siemens Comfort Panel HMI
 

SITUATION

Our client has a proprietary water treatment technology used for treating agricultural, food, and beverage wastewater. For their pilot, they purchased a preexisting containerized solution and retrofitted it with their membranes. The container came with a Siemens S7-1200 PLC and HMI, which needed to be reprogrammed for the client’s specific needs.

SOLUTION

We reprogrammed the Siemens S7-1200 PLC and Comfort Panel HMI to meet the specific requirements of the client’s pilot and retrofits. Our software upgrades also reduced the amount of time required to run a pilot study, and with less operator training.

CASE STUDY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Created Clean in Place (CIP) sequencing which could change the order and types of steps for Rinsing, Cleaning Type and Chemical Dosing.

  • Implemented configurable PID loop pressure control to regulate the process according to recipe-driven pilot modes and process values.

  • Commissioned the project remotely to meet the client's tight timeline for shipping the equipment.
