Intelligent monitoring of Water Treatment Plant in large Gas Refinery

Developing monitoring in Automation Control System is a major industrial concern since those systems are more and more complex and involved in many safety critical application fields. The Automation system is being widely used in Power, Steel manufacturing, Oil and Gas, and Petrochemicals for monitoring, advance process control, regulatory and sequential control and various other functions. Automation system is operated either in single mode and or it is interfaced with other systems such as PLC, SCADA, and Etc for enhanced functionality. Water treatment plants have to provide good water quality and at the same time low operational costs. Owing to various physical, chemical and biological interactions water treatment processes are often difficult to handle and reliable predictions for the course of processes are difficult to obtain. This paper focuses on an innovative and intelligent monitoring system for Water Treatment Plant that has been successfully designed, implemented and commissioned for large Gas Refinery after case study in international standards.
