AQUATEC ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES - BEVERLEY PARK (SYDNEY) WATER RECLAMATION PROJECT
Kogarah Council constructed a water reclamation plant at Beverley Park Golf Course to treat wastewater extracted from a nearby sewer main. This plant is expected to save up to 125 million litres of Sydney’s drinking water every year. The Beverley Park Water Reclamation Plant was the outright winner of the ‘2008 Water Association’s Project Innovation Award’, in the Operations/ Management Projects category.
MPA designed, programmed, installed, tested and commissioned the electrical, instrument, control and automation systems for this plant.
The electrical system of the plant consists of a 250A main switchboard and a 32A pump station sub-board. An Allan-Bradley CompactLogix PLC System is located in the main switchboard and an Allan-Bradley MicroLogix 1100 PLC System is in the pump station sub-board. Communication between the PLCs is achieved using fibre optic cable. A workstation loaded with Citect HMI control and monitors the plant’s operations.
MPA also supplied and commissioned five variable speed drives which control the flow at different stages of the plant.
