System Description: The 150 MGD Lanier Water Treatment Plant is one of the most
important water production plants in the Southeast. Serving all of
Gwinnett County and portions of other metro Atlanta counties, this
modern facility is one of the largest plants in the country utilizing
ozone as the primary method of disinfection. As part of a plant
expansion in which plant capacity was expanded by fifty MGD,
Transdyn provided a fully integrated plant control and SCADA
system.
Managed by Transdyn’s DYNAC® software suite, the system enables
operators to monitor and control the Lanier Water Treatment Plant,
the countywide water distribution system and stormwater facilities.
Redundant servers and operator workstations located in the main
control room manage distributed control units and remote
workstations located throughout the facility via a redundant fiber
optic Ethernet network.
The same servers which control the plant also manage remote
programmable logic controllers at pump stations, storage tanks and
pressure point sites via independent spread spectrum radio links
which are networked to the plant using the County’s trunked radio
system.

System Description: Elizabethtown Water Company (EWC) is the seventh largest water
company in the nation serving more than a million water customers
in New Jersey. EWC operates the forty MGD Canal Road Water
Treatment Plant – one of the first major water plants in the country
to use ozone as a primary disinfectant.
Transdyn built the control system EWC uses to monitor and control
this facility. Redundant servers with high-speed automatic fail-over
run the DYNACTM software suite and manage workstations and
distributed controllers located throughout the facility.
The controllers communicate with the servers and workstations via
dual, redundant, self-healing fiber optic Ethernet rings. Remote
workstations at the Ozone Building and the adjacent Raritan-
Millstone plant provide convenient access to the system for
maintenance and management personnel.

System Description: Located thirty miles north of Boston, the Robert E. McQuade Water Treatment Plant supplies the Town of Andover and six surrounding towns with up to 24 MGD of purified water. The plant derives the water from the Merrimack River via a twenty MGD pump station and retention pond. In the seventeen years that the plant has been in operation, the water purity always exceeded state mandated requirements. The plant employs state-of-the-art ozone injection processes to reduce the need for heavy chemical treatment.
Transdyn, working under a prime contract, provided the distributed control system that monitors and controls all aspects of plant operation including filtration, chemical/ozone introduction, and potable water distribution. The system, managed by DYNAC® Process Control, constantly monitors the water volume, flow and quality and provides computer managed responses to optimize plant efficiency and water quality.
