Water and Wastewater Technology

Automation technology for safe and sustainable water management

A reliable water supply and wastewater disposal system is essential for local authorities, industry and the environment. Waterworks, pumping stations and sewage treatment works must be operated safely and energy-efficiently around the clock.

The GESA Automation GmbH has many years’ experience in the automation of water and wastewater treatment plant systems.

Automation of water and wastewater treatment plants

In the field of water supply, we implement automation solutions for plants that treat Drinking water, process water and deionised water. In the field of wastewater treatment technology, we provide support for both municipal and industrial facilities and, amongst other things, automate:

Pumping stations
Rainwater retention basin
Pre-cleaning systems
Aeration tank
SBR reactors
Flotation plants
Ozonation systems
Flocculation plants
Sludge thickening

Thanks to our many years of project experience, we develop reliable control and monitoring systems for a wide range of water management applications.

Modernisation whilst the plant is in operation

As well as the automation of new plants, the modernisation of existing systems is one of our key areas of focus. We use cost-effective retrofit solutions to upgrade control and automation technology without unnecessarily disrupting day-to-day operations.

Telecontrol technology and intelligent process monitoring

As water management facilities are often spread across several sites, we develop high-performance remote control solutions based on modern standard PLC systems. Depending on requirements, data is transmitted via mobile networks, dedicated lines or radio links, enabling the secure monitoring and control of geographically dispersed facilities.

Our process control system is complemented by bespoke database modules, which enable transparent process monitoring, analysis and documentation, and are optimally tailored to our customers’ requirements.

Whether it’s a new build, a modernisation project or telecontrol systems – we can support you with sector-specific automation solutions and would be happy to show you similar reference projects from the water and wastewater sector.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Which systems does GESA Automation GmbH automate in the water and wastewater sector?

We develop automation solutions for water treatment works, sewage treatment works, pumping stations, water-boosting systems, stormwater retention basins and other water supply and wastewater treatment facilities.

Can existing water and wastewater treatment plants be modernised?

Yes. As part of retrofit projects, we modernise control and process management systems, switchgear and visualisation solutions in order to bring existing plants up to the latest technical and economic standards.

How does automation support cost-effective plant operation?

Modern automation technology ensures transparent processes, reliable plant monitoring and optimised operational procedures. This makes it possible to reduce energy consumption, plan maintenance work more effectively and increase plant availability.

Do you also handle commissioning and servicing?

Yes. From planning, through engineering, control cabinet construction and commissioning, right through to maintenance, servicing and a 24/7 breakdown service, we support your plant throughout its entire lifecycle.

Do you support local authority and industrial operators?

Yes. We provide automation solutions for both local water authorities and wastewater associations, as well as for industrial companies with their own water and wastewater treatment facilities.
