Mundo Novo WWTP

Sludge dewatering system

Altus was responsible for specifying and developing the automation project for the sludge dewatering system at the Novo Mundo Wastewater Treatment Plant, a project integrated into the Tietê River Depollution Program, conducted by Sabesp.

With this project, Altus reinforces its presence in the environmental sanitation sector, delivering highly reliable national technology to initiatives that promote the recovery of water resources.

Automation of the sludge dewatering system

The system supplied by Altus for the Novo Mundo wastewater treatment plant acts as an interface between the equipment responsible for the mechanical dewatering of sludge, a process carried out using filter presses.

The solution consists of a panel-mounted PLC, responsible for controlling the process steps, and a supervisory system, which enables real-time monitoring, remote operation, and analysis of system data. One of the project’s key differentiators is the communication gateway, which, in addition to bridging the PLC and the supervisory system, also has the ability to interface this new solution with the existing process network at the wastewater treatment plant, an infrastructure also previously developed and supplied by Altus.

With this supply, Altus reaffirms our expertise in automation projects for basic sanitation.

Quick decision making

Streamlined data management through real-time process reports, providing up-to-date information on the system

Remote Supervision

The solution enables remote supervision of the dewatering process, minimizing risks for WWTP operators

Enhanced security

Faster detection of faults and incidents with clear, concise, and precise alarms

Application with Altus PLC

This solution relies on Altus programmable controller technology for data collection and processing at the facility

Instant access to system information

One of the major benefits of the Automation System is the ability to quickly access consolidated data crucial for maintenance activities, such as: - Management planning and control of operations at the plant

- Reduced operating costs, as automated controls require fewer operators per shift

- High reliability of installed equipment

Technical scope of the solution

Altus’ solution offers a comprehensive range of equipment and services tailored to meet the specific automation and process control needs.

The system includes programmable controllers mounted in panels and a gateway for the process network. It also covers the specification and development of PLC application programs, electrical design, and panel assembly, as well as platform integration, start-up, assisted operation, and PLC programming training.

Benefits of the Altus solution

Implementing this solution delivers multiple benefits, enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the wastewater treatment plant.

Key advantages include continuous monitoring of the dewatering process, allowing operators to track the system's status in real-time, as well as alarm notifications that alert operators to any anomalies or issues. The system also ensures control over the equipment, making sure everything operates smoothly and efficiently..

Additionally, the solution allows for the generation of detailed process reports, providing valuable insights into the system’s performance. The solution integrates seamlessly with the equipment controlling the filter presses, optimizing the entire operation.

Altus demonstrates its commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology and high-quality services, contributing significantly to the optimization and automation of industrial processes.
