SIEMENS PROCESS INSTRUMENTATION:
Process optimization for flow measurement
September 2022
MARIETTA, GA ~
From sewerage services to
drinking water supply:
The Saalfeld-Rudolfstadt Association in Germany is
committed to supply around 82,000 inhabitants with
clean drinking water. The resulting wastewater must be
cleaned and disposed of to enable a closed water cycle.
To allow for smooth processes, the customer relies on
cutting-edge technologies to optimize flow measurement.
There are two different types of wastewater. On the one
hand, there is water contaminated by domestic and commercial use, the so-called sewage. On the other hand there
is the rainwater draining off from constructed or paved
areas and being collected. To enable a sustainable water
cycle, these effluents must be treated and disposed of. For
the Saale region of Germany, this responsibility lies with the
Saalfeld-Rudolstadt Association. The association supplies
about 82,000 people in this region with drinking water.
There are 38 wastewater treatment plants that are operated
in the association‘s area, which return cleaned waste and
conditions of public drainage in the operating area.
Additionally, the association operates 59 sewage pumping
stations, 24 stormwater tanks and 27 combined sewer
overflows. The association's disposal concept regulates the
terms and conditions of public drainage in the operating
area.
Thorough wastewater treatment is mandatory
Wastewater treatment by means of a sewage plant is more
thorough today than just a few years ago. After primary
clarification, the wastewater treatment process comprises
three stages.
The first treatment stage is mechanical. During this stage,
coarse and floating solids are removed from the water....Click
