With the help of variable speed AC drives, ABB aims to optimise the water supply, process use and effluent treatment to give industry a competitive advantage.
ABB drives are used in every phase of water supply and waste water plants. From the moment water is taken in at the reservoir or river, through the water treatment and pumping, into the distribution system, back into the sewage system and then, as final effluent, returned to the environment.
ABB drives are used for regulating a variety of pumps, fans and compressors used for flow and pressure control throughout the water process. They regulate the process according to actual demand based on inputs from flowmeters, pressure transmitters and other sensors.
