SIPOS Aids Sewage Control at Sydney STP
Photocaption: A SIPOS Aktorik actuator and gearbox combination supports essential sewage control processes at Brooklyn STP.
The plant inlet valve at the STP will remain in its open position. In the event of failure of any of the sewage treatment processes, a valve will divert flow to a storage tank: if the tank reaches capacity, an alarm will trigger closure of the valve. A UPS / battery back up on the actuator ensures that the emergency procedure is maintained, even in the event of power failure.
Commenting on Barron’s latest adoption of SIPOS’ variable speed actuation, Weyand Magnaye, Water Products Manager at Barron GJM Pty Ltd said:
‘This is a prestigious and highly significant scheme. The STP provides a tertiary level treatment using membrane bioreactor technology and disinfection by ultraviolet light. Without satisfactory valve control, approximately 260ML of effluent would be discharged every year.
‘SIPOS’ actuation technology was ideally suited for this installation as it supports the 240V single phase requirement of the site. Additionally, as this is a 240V actuator without a start-up current, a single phase UPS can be used for battery back-up. The actuator’s variable speed capability was also beneficial as it enabled us to meet the desired operating time during commissioning without changing hardware.’
Previous SIPOS actuator installation contracts managed by Barron for Sydney Water include Australia’s fourthlargest sewage treatment plant where the actuators played a key role in a $150 million improvement programme at the North Head STP. Other Sydney schemes that have adopted SIPOS devices are Cronulla STP, Warragamba Water Filtration Plant (WFP), Quakers Hill STP and Nepean WFP.
