1.What is wastewater monitoring system?

Automatic wastewater monitoring is a system installed in the place where wastewater has been treated with pollutant factors. The system will monitor flow and measure water quality through indicators measured at installation points

2. Why must install waste water monitoring system?

In some key areas, the installation of wastewater monitoring helps regulators closely monitor the discharge, and monitor the quality and volume of wastewater. The continuity of the monitoring station will help to take measures to respond in time if something goes wrong. Thanks to the wastewater monitoring station, factories can control the quality of treated water (but not up to the standard) to the ecological environment, thereby taking appropriate adjustment measures. For management agencies, investing in automatic wastewater monitoring stations for industrial zones and enterprises with large waste sources is an effective solution in monitoring the quality of wastewater sources. At the same time, the system can be monitored online (online), limiting human resources in the inspection process.

3. Operation method of wastewater monitoring system

The monitoring equipment will be placed in a separate closed cabinet (base station). Periodically according to the prescribed time, the treated wastewater will be pumped into the base station. Inside the base station, sensors measure water quality and transfer data to a signal receiver. These data are transmitted to the control station (Central Station) located at the monitoring center and also transmitted to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment. The measured portion of wastewater will be pumped back to the exhaust gas pit. In necessary situations, a monitoring system administrator can control the base station to automatically sample and store samples.

4. Monitoring criteria

The indicators of wastewater quality monitoring will depend on each industrial sector. Some basic criteria for wastewater: COD (Chemical oxygen demand), TSS (Total suspended solids), pH, color, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Excess chloride, Ammonia, Phosphate, Nitrate, TDS, DO …

5. Aus4Innovation project UTS Rapido Vietnam: Industry 4.0 for a sustainable water system

Recently, the University of Technology – VNU Ho Chi Minh City, University of Technology, Ho Chi Minh City in collaboration with the University of Technology Sydney (Australia) held the kick-off ceremony of the project “Sustainable water systems. Apply, Technology 4.0 to build sustainable communities in the Red River Delta and Phu Yen” under the Aus4Innovation Innovation Program between the Australian Government and Vietnam.

The project is funded by the Australian Government’s Aus4Innovation program with a funding of one million Australian Dollars.

Song Nam Company is honored to be one of the partners participating in the project when providing water quality measuring systems with important indicators such as pH measurement, TSS measurement, DO measurement, conductivity measurement, Ammonium measurement. , information is transmitted and displayed in real time at the monitoring station.

The launching ceremony of the project “Applied sustainable water system, Technology 4.0 to build sustainable communities in the Red River Delta and Phu Yen” with the participation of the General Director of Song Nam Group Joint Stock Company

Project’s objective to apply technology 4.0 to develop water quality monitoring systems for aquaculture throughout Vietnam, to build sustainable communities in the Red River Delta and aquaculture areas. At the seaside The first IoT-enabled marine environment monitoring station on Xuan Dai Bay, Phu Yen province was completed in March 2020

Surveillance Station uses the latest robotics designs and technologies, Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics and mechatronics. The system will collect seawater samples every five minutes, processing delay is 0.5 seconds. Monitoring indicators include temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen content, salinity and transparency of the water.

The system is designed to withstand tropical storms and extreme sea conditions. Advanced automatic mechanical parts are applied to the maintenance process to increase the life of the sensors. For locations with unstable 3 / 4G connection, the system will use the “multi-hop IoT” connection method to transmit data.

This is one of the first marine environmental monitoring systems in Vietnam, and is also one of the few systems in the world that can monitor marine environmental indicators in real time, under extreme environmental stress, and frequent sea storms.

These monitoring systems will assist local governments such as Phu Yen to develop a policy for sustainable aquaculture planning and management and to protect the quality of the bay environment to support a growing tourism industry. development.
