Future Generation WTP
Description

Motor Control Centre for a Construction Water Treatment Plant (WTP) at the Snowy Hydro 2.0 project. Snowy 2.0 is a pumped hydro-electric project that will link the existing Tantangara and Talbingo reservoirs through a series of new underground tunnels and a hydro-electric power station.

Metroid’s custom built switchboard will provide the “brain power” to the project. With our PLC programming, the HMI will highlight the overview of the WTP and general settings such as Balance Tank Level Setpoints, UF Established Setpoints, UF Duration Timers, Filter pump speed, RO level setpoints, RO duration timers, RO pump speed, TW Level Setpoints and more.
Our programming also highlights trend variables, PID settings, alarms and more.
