Taking Waste Out of Wastewater Treatment
The supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system at Erie Wastewater Treatment Plant was a patchwork of equipment, hardware and software. By 2008, some of the pieces were a full 20 years old, others were brand new and the rest were somewhere in between. The sum of its parts: ineffective, inefficient and expensive. Today, the system is a smooth and productive operation thanks to Process and Data Automation Inc. of Erie, Pa.
