| Customer Requirements: |
| KAPP Engineering was approached by Novatron to design,
supply, and commission a PLC-based 270,000 litres per day Reverse Osmosis
(RO) Plant housed in a shipping container |
| |
| Solution: |
The control system for the RO Plant comprises
of a DL06 Koyo PLC and 6 inch Monochrome C-More Touch-Screen
Operator Interface panel (OIP). The RO Plant has 3 modes of
operation (Desalination, Chemical Clean, and Service Mode).
In both Desalination and Chemical Clean mode, the operation of
the valves, pumps, and auxiliary devices are automatically
controlled by the PLC. On the other hand, the Service Mode
allows the operator to operate these devices manually.
An Iron-Ore filter feature is added into the system which runs
the bore water through Iron Filters utilising two transfer pumps
before being fed into the RO System. If this feature is enabled,
the Desalination Mode start conditions will be automatically
changed by the PLC.
Novatron Australia is pleased with the cost savings that
are achieved by the implementation of the OIP, in particular
the amount of control panel electrical wiring needed by
eliminating the need for pushbuttons and switches that are used
conventionally by Novatron Australia in previous projects.
