Safeguarding Wellington’s water supplies
27 April, 2011The reliable provision of clean water is essential for any large population. It is now commonplace for water treatment plants to run autonomously and, for this to be effective, a reliable process control system is needed to supervise plant activities. Through the 1980s, distributed control system (DCS) architectures were widely used to manage these processes. However, many of these systems are now reaching the end of their design lives. Consequently they suffer from declining availability of spares and waning access to technical assistance.
