Modular PLC Mitsubishi Electric solution controls new £17m showpiece Llwyn Onn water treatment works from inlet-to-outlet

PublishTime：2022-08-10

▲The Dee Valley Water (DVW) project to build a new water treatment works at its flagship site, Llwyn Onn in North Wales, has now been completed. The £17M project was officially opened in March 2014 by the Minister for Natural Resources and Food, Alun Davies and is controlled by a Mitsubishi Electric system redundant, Q series modular PLC solution. The new works has been operational since August 2013.
▲The new works provides DVW with the capacity to produce 47,000m3 of drinking water per day for Wrexham and the surrounding area. In addition to the standard treatment processes, Llwyn Onn also includes an automated processing system for removing manganese, a mineral that occurs naturally in the surface water of the DVW area.
▲With so many people depending on a continued supply of clean water the process for selecting a reliable automation control system for the entire works was particularly stringent. In all, four automation providers, including Mitsubishi, submitted proposals which were scrutinised by DVW and the main project contractor Black &Veatch, before the preferred Mitsubishi solution was chosen.
▲The majority of the subcontract supply chain for this project has been sourced from the north Wales area, including the system integrator, Tycon Automation Ltd. Tycon has an extensive knowledge of the Mitsubishi product range, having used components to complete several
large water control projects in the past. Investing in the development of a large library of field proven application specific software modules meant that Tycon was perfectly positioned to provide the integration for what is a large and complex site control solution.
