ARA Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

The plant was upgraded both bio­lo­gi­cal­ly and mecha­ni­cal­ly. The focus was on the repla­ce­ment of the bio­lo­gy by a sta­te-of-the-art mem­bra­ne bio­lo­gy tech­no­lo­gy. For this pur­po­se, various mecha­nical sub-systems were reha­bi­li­ta­ted and repla­ced. We were ent­ru­sted with the sup­p­ly of the new switch­gear for the new bio­lo­gy and with imple­men­ting the pro­cess within the pro­cess con­trol system. For this pur­po­se, a num­ber of pro­ces­ses were opti­mi­zed and upgraded. In addi­ti­on, the pro­cess con­trol system dating back to the year 2009 was updated to the latest ver­si­on and an SMS-aler­ting system with stand-by plan­ning was inte­gra­ted. Also the five out­sta­ti­ons were inte­gra­ted in the pro­cess con­trol system via telecontrol.
