Surge protection system for Tan Hiep Water Plant

Surge protection system has been equipped at Tan Hiep Water Plant

• Project: "Supply and install SCADA Control System to protect for Tan Hiep Water Plant" 

• Contractor: PISA Joint Stock Company

Tan Hiep Water Plant - Application automation in the production process, plant operation.

SCADA (Supervisory control and data acquisition) is the automation management system in industry with the functions of supervising and collecting data. Tan Hiep Water have applied in production to facilitate the control and management of construction items in the system from Hoa Phu raw water pumping station to the distribution network. All data is saved and easily retrieved if needed.

Automation brings high labor productivity, reduces raw material costs and energy consumption, improving product quality. Morever, automation helps improve employee qualifications while also protecting the ecological environment and freeing people from manual, boring and toxic work environments.

As the technology for Water plant becomes more sophisticated, the risk of damage caused by lighting strikes and power line disturbances become intolerable.

Wastewater treatment and storage tanks are the risk of damage caused by lighting strikes

Surge protection solution to protect for Tan Hiep Water Plant

Aware that lightning flashes directly affect the continuity and stability in the operation of the SCADA system, within the scope of the SCADA system installation project for Tan Hiep Water Plant, the Investor has equipped Surge protection for PLC and RIO cabinets can minimize the effects of lightning strikes and industrial overvoltages.

Surge protection system consists of: AC Network Protection with Parallel AC Surge protection cabinets, Telecom and Data line protection: 4-20mA, RS422/485, Ethernet POE, Wifi, Telecom, etc.

The protected devices in the SCADA system:

• Pump, Electric Valve, ...
• Water quality meter: pH, COD, turbidity, Chlorin Analyser, ...
• Measurement sensors: Temperature Sensor, Level Sensor, Flow Meter
• Controle Circuit
• Computer Systems and Network equipment
