Electrical equipment in waste water treatment plants

The screen represents the first cleaning stage in a waste water treatment plant after the inlet.

With this mechanical pre-treatment, the waste water is passed through a screen or sieve. Coarse dirt of all kinds, such as stones, branches, leaves, damp toilet paper, sanitary towels and a lot of other debris, get caught there and are removed from the further clarification cycle.

Basically, different types of screens are used. These range from a few millimeters to several centimeters gap widths.
The coarse materials would otherwise clog the pumping systems and must therefore be removed safely. In addition, they also deteriorate the efficiency of the downstream biological purification stages.

Normally, these materials are collected via a screw conveyor in a container and later ends up in the waste incineration plant.
Even explosive and other dangerous substances cannot be excluded.

For this reason, the technology installed in a room with screens are subject to special requirements. For electrical equipment, this means that it must be explosion-proof in order to ensure that there is no risk of explosion as a result of possible outgassing and concentrations of the corresponding substances, and this poses a risk to the system and the people working there.

Given regulations (ATEX directive 2014/34 / EU of the European Union) and standards define the requirements for electrical equipment and their intended use in explosive areas.

Products that are used here have to be tested, certified and manufactured accordingly to the standards and regulation and carry the appropriate Ex device identification.

The QR code shown in the picture contains all the necessary data (such as the plain text) and also a direct link to the operating instructions for the equipment. This means that the operating instructions can be viewed at any time with a cell phone (approved for use in Ex areas) and adjustments made in accordance with the operating instructions. This is particularly important for distributors, since terminal adaptations according to the corresponding table in the operating instructions may also be carried out on site.

Just scan and get all the information .. it's that easy.

Examples of electrical equipment can e.g. Luminaires, terminal distributors, sockets, light switches, motors, control points, etc., which must be installed there.
