Mundo Novo WWTP

High efficiency sludge dewatering system

Altus was responsible for the specification and development of the automation project for the sludge dewatering system at the Novo Mundo Wastewater Treatment Plant. This initiative is part of the Tietê River Depollution Program, led by Sabesp in São Paulo, Brazil, which aims to restore and preserve one of the most important water resources in the region.

Through this project, Altus further strengthens its presence in the environmental wtaer and wastewater sector, delivering highly reliable technology to support large-scale initiatives focused on water resource recovery, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability.

Advanced automation for the sludge dewatering system

The system supplied by Altus for the Novo Mundo Wastewater Treatment Plant operates as an interface between the equipment responsible for the mechanical sludge dewatering process, carried out through filter presses.

The solution includes a panel-mounted PLC dedicated to controlling each stage of the dewatering process, along with a supervisory system that enables real-time monitoring, remote operation, and detailed analysis of operational data.

One of the project’s key differentiators is the communication gateway. In addition to enabling seamless integration between the PLC and the supervisory system, the gateway allows the new automation solution to interface with the plant’s existing process network, an infrastructure previously developed and supplied by Altus.

With this delivery, Altus reinforces its expertise in automation projects for the basic water and wastewater sector, providing integrated, reliable, and scalable solutions tailored to complex treatment processes.

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.
