Star Controls conquered a major milestone in a multi-million dollar wastewater treatment plant new installation project in Nassau, Bahamas in January. Partnered with ECS in Jacksonville, Florida, and Chester Engineers, headquartered in Pittsburgh, a plant-wide control system has been delivered to the jobsite, fully ready for field-wiring and SCADA integration. The control system includes a redundant power supply and redundant CPU, industrial rack-mounted Ethernet switches, and serves hundreds of IO points. Two core software components drive the technology behind the plant’s SCADA system. Trihedral’s VTScada software makes up the Human Machine Interface in the control room, providing operators with all information needed to successfully run the plant which will produce 300,000 gallons of treated water each day for reuse. StaRTU, by Star Controls, serves as the backbone for the controls interface allowing the system to be simple for the operators, easy for developers, essential for troubleshooting, and scalable for the future. This state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant will set the standard for other waste water treatment plants to be built as part of the Bahamas Water & Sewerage Corporation’s Master Sewer Plan.
