Modernizing One of the Nation's Largest Closed-Loop Wastewater Systems

Rebuilding the controls behind one of the nation's largest closed-loop industrial wastewater treatment plants — modern alarms, multi-station visibility, and the ability to see a fault before it becomes a violation.

Industrial wastewater treatment control system modernization

One of the nation's largest closed-loop industrial wastewater treatment plants was running on hardware that no longer had spare parts, alarms that no longer fired reliably, and code that didn't follow any modern standard. For a facility of this size, that's not a maintenance problem — it's a regulatory and operational risk.

The challenge

  • Limited remote visibility into the status of dozens of motors, tanks, and valves.
  • Equipment unreliability driving constant manual intervention.
  • Alarms only visible from a single location — slow response when something went wrong.

What we did

  • Engineered a control system that delivers critical alarms with detail — and routes them to operators wherever they are in the plant.
  • Distributed monitoring and command across multiple workstations so the response window matches the size of the facility.
  • Rebuilt the programming foundation with standards that support optimization, predictive maintenance, and graceful fault handling.

The outcome

  • Faults arrive with descriptions that point to a fix, not a guess.
  • Tank, motor, and valve status is monitored reliably and reported plant-wide.
  • Operators across the facility see the same picture in real time.
