Water & Wastewater

Empowering Sustainable Water Systems Through Intelligent Automation

Tri Tech Automation delivers advanced control and information solutions for municipal water treatment, wastewater processing, and industrial plant utilities. Our automation expertise ensures safe, reliable, and efficient operation of both greenfield installations and brownfield modernization projects — empowering communities and utilities to operate smarter, safer, and more sustainably.

Core Process Areas

01

Municipal Water Treatment

Automation and control systems play a critical role in monitoring, regulating, and optimizing each step of the treatment process:
  • Raw Water Intake & Screening – Pumping station controls, debris removal, and flow regulation.
  • Coagulation & Flocculation – Chemical feed systems, mixing controls, and real-time dosage adjustment.
  • Sedimentation / Clarification – Sludge blanket level control, flow balancing, and valve automation.
  • Filtration – Filter backwash sequencing, differential pressure monitoring, and filter media integrity control.
  • Disinfection – Chlorination/UV disinfection control, chemical feed monitoring, and safety interlocks.
  • Clearwell Storage & High-Service Pumping – Pump sequencing, pressure management, and energy optimization.
  • Distribution System Management – Remote telemetry (SCADA), tank level control, and leak detection monitoring.
02

Municipal Wastewater Treatment

From headworks to effluent discharge, Tri Tech delivers robust automation platforms that ensure environmental compliance and operational excellence:
  • Headworks & Screening – Bar screen and grit removal control, influent pump station management.
  • Primary Treatment – Clarifier control, sludge collection systems, and automatic flow balancing.
  • Biological (Secondary) Treatment – Aeration control, DO (Dissolved Oxygen) optimization, nutrient removal sequencing.
  • Tertiary Filtration & Disinfection – Sand or membrane filtration, UV/chlorine disinfection systems.
  • Sludge Handling & Dewatering – Thickener control, polymer feed optimization, centrifuge and belt press automation.
  • Effluent Monitoring – Flow and quality monitoring, regulatory reporting integration via Historian or MES systems.
03

Industrial & Plant Wastewater Systems

For manufacturers, Tri Tech’s control expertise helps ensure environmental responsibility while supporting production continuity:
  • Pretreatment Systems – pH adjustment, equalization basin control, and heavy metals removal systems.
  • Batch Neutralization & Chemical Dosing – Recipe-based batching control and automated chemical handling.
  • Recovery & Reuse Systems – RO/UF system automation, filtrate recovery, and waste minimization control.
  • Evaporator & Dryer Systems – Evaporator feed and condensate handling.
  • Compliance & Reporting – Integration with plant historians, trending, and regulatory reporting dashboards.

Greenfield & Brownfield Automation Expertise

Greenfield Projects

For new facilities, Tri Tech Automation provides complete turnkey automation — from concept to commissioning:
