SIWACIS PIPE    The scalable solution package for water transport

SIWACISPIPE is the electrotechnical solution for planned or existing water pipelines. It includes instrumentation, automation, control technology, WAN communication, power engineering and drive engineering as well as the associated services.

. The challenge The increasing competition in the field of drinking water supply requires plant operators to analyze costs and security of supply continually. The distances between extraction and consumers are often very long, especially in large metropolitan areas, therefore, they need to be an important focus of attention. The challenge is to maintain an equal or higher degree of security of supply while existing costs need to be reduced the plants need to be adapted to changing standards. At the same time, water losses must be detected and located, and the workload of personnel in the fields of operation and maintenance must be reduced.

Our solution

SIWACISPIPE monitors, controls and optimizes water transport from extraction to the consumer. The package includes: All the components necessary for the performance of measuring, open-loop and closed-loop control tasks, from measurement techniques to energy generation, from simulation to automation, from monitoring to communication All correspondend services over the whole life cycle of the plants Integration of all installations (pumping stations, pressure control stations, high-level tanks and disinfection equipment) in a standardized, comprehensive control system Implementation of the required communication, both locally and in the WAN 20% faster commissioning by the use of perfectly matched modules without any interfaces causing problems Energy savings of up to 10% because of process optimization in combination with the SIWACIS PLAN OPTIM add-on module

Good reasons for SIWACIS PIPE

Sustainably higher security of supply and investment by the use of proven and future-proof technology

More efficient operation because of optimized algorithms and standardized operator interfaces for all tasks on a continuing basis

Up to 20% more efficient commissioning and up to 50% shorter execution times for future expansions

Lower costs: up to 10% energy savings in your plants

Reliable detection and location of water leaks, even below 3%

Why Completely Integrated Solutions from Siemens deliver more:

Energy consumption, line losses and wear on network components are key cost factors in the supply and transportation of water. SIWACIS PIPE makes the overall process manageable, thus permitting the direct control of individual components and cost-effective optimization of system performance. The instrumentation and automation components in SIWACIS PIPE also supply the data necessary for integrating water transport into a higher-level control system, and allow the continuous analysis of system performance as well as the development of appropriate maintenance plans over the entire life cycle of the system
