Emerson is the global technology, software and engineering powerhouse driving innovation that makes the world healthier, safer, smarter and more sustainable.
Emerson’s five decades of water/wastewater expertise embedded within the Ovation™ distributed control system (DCS) forms a reliable and innovative platform that evolves with rapidly changing technology to help improve plant reliability.
In addition to native, advanced applications for optimizing plant operations, Ovation supports integrated vibration monitoring, generator excitation control, SIS, scalable footprints for small or distributed applications, virtualization and embedded simulation.
In the early 1990s, the Borough of Ridgway purchased several separate systems to control their water treatment and five bay filtration processes. Through the years, technology obsolescence led to difficulties in obtaining support and spare parts for all the systems. At one point, the existing systems completely failed, leaving Ridgway employees to manually operate the plant for several months. A new, more efficient system was desperately needed. Download this case study to learn how Emerson provided Ridgeway with a reliable, flexible system, unifying their plant processes into a single system while meeting their strict requirements and budget...
