Controlstar Systems has just commissioned the control system for the wastewater plant at the recently opened International Robin Hood Airport, (previously known as Finningley) near Doncaster. This 'fast track' project included a full SCADA and programmable system that controls the high efficiency wastewater plant that not only processes the wastewater from the facilities but also handles substantial volumes of run off from the runways. The dosing requirements imposed on the runway wastewater can create special problems if not processed correctly.
The Controlstar unit which provides both the control and telemetry interface is linked by mobile phone technology back to the main support centre near Brooklands in Kent.
A full display and record of the plant activity is available to the support organisation, both controls and plant optimisation can be carried out remotely.
Controlstar Systems won the contract by demonstrating the ease and speed of implementing the control algorithms using it's unique 'Fusion' visual programming tool; this allowed the project team to meet their 'fast track' and cost deadlines.
