Automation and supervision of a desalination plant

Abstract

Due to the decreasing availability of water resources and the expansion of arid regions worldwide, seawater desalination has emerged as an alternative means of providing fresh water in various regions across the world.

The objective of this project is to develop an automated and supervised solution for the ELMARSA seawater desalination plant in SKIKDA, utilizing the Reverse Osmosis technique. For

this

purpose, we employed the Modicon M580 programmable logic controller and utilized Unity Pro and Citect SCADA software to program the automation process and oversee the station's operations.
