SCADA Systems & Instrumentation

SCADA system design for water and wastewater facilities offers numerous benefits, including real-time monitoring, enhanced control, data analysis, alarm management, and efficient resource management. These advantages contribute to improved operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and overall system performance. At Huffman Engineering our ability to understand both small and large water systems and design a SCADA application to work best for you sets us apart.

We strive to enable you with a system to assist with resource management, remote access and control, real-time data, energy management, safety standards and enhanced functionality. We know the more information you have the better decisions you can make.

Networking & Security

Networking and Security are critical components of control automation systems in water and wastewater management due to the industry’s stringent requirements for reliability, data integrity, and regulatory compliance. Our focus has always been enabling real-time monitoring and control of manufacturing processes from centralized locations. That way, operators and engineers can access live data, make adjustments remotely, and quickly respond to any issues that arise.

Our effective networking and security practices in control automation systems enhance operational efficiency, data integrity, compliance, and overall system reliability. They help utility systems both large and small meet regulatory requirements, protect intellectual property, and ensure the consistent quality of the water they use, re-use and return to the natural environment.

reporting for compliance

Reporting and compliance in the water and wastewater industry are essential for maintaining regulatory standards, ensuring public health, and promoting environmental protection. Effective reporting and compliance practices offer several benefits to utilities, regulatory agencies, and the communities they serve.

We pride ourselves on striving to make the communities we live and work in safer for everyone and that includes regulatory compliance, improved operational efficiencies, community transparency, data management and security precautions.

Huffman Engineering for decades has been controlling water systems of all sizes large and small to provide healthy clean water to help the communities we live and work in. From screening and gating to remove debris and automating coagulants and flocculation to filtration and disinfection, Huffman Engineering can help design and automate from intake to outtake. Post-treatment including pH adjustment and fluoridation, methane capture and storage and distribution are areas we excel in and can help you achieve the results you want.

System integrators play a crucial role in optimizing and managing various water control processes within water treatment and distribution facilities. Their expertise in integrating different systems and technologies ensures that water control processes are efficient, reliable, and compliant with regulatory standards.

Water Treatment Control: designing and implementing control systems for water treatment processes, including coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection. They ensure that these processes operate efficiently, maintaining water quality and meeting regulatory standards. This includes: Automating chemical dosing and monitoring, controlling and monitoring filtration systems & managing disinfection processes

Pump and Valve Control: Effective management of pumps and valves is essential for maintaining water flow and pressure in treatment and distribution systems. We implement control strategies to optimize the operation of these components, improving system reliability and efficiency using automation of pump start/stop sequences based on demand, managing valve positions for flow control and pressure regulation & implementing variable frequency drives (VFDs) for energy-efficient pump operation.

Flow, Alarm and Data Monitoring: Accurate monitoring of flow rates and pressure levels is crucial for ensuring proper system operation and preventing issues such as leaks or pressure drops. System integrators design systems that provide real-time data and control for flow and pressure management. At HEI this includes integrating flow meters and pressure sensors into the SCADA system for dynamic monitoring, implementing alarm systems for out-of-range flow or pressure conditions, and assisting operations teams to analyze data to optimize system performance and detect anomalies.

Systems integrators with experience in both consumer and animal health offer a range of benefits that enhance the efficiency, quality, and compliance of pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Their expertise in these diverse sectors allows them to bring valuable insights and solutions that address the unique challenges and requirements of each industry.  This comprehensive industry knowledge allows our engineers to design systems benefiting from the best practices across industries.

Enhanced Regulatory Compliance: These integrators are well-versed in the regulatory frameworks governing both consumer and animal health products, such as FDA and EMA guidelines. Their expertise ensures that the systems they design and integrate comply with all relevant regulations, reducing the risk of non-compliance and facilitating smoother regulatory submissions and inspections.

Faster Time-to-Market: By leveraging their experience and expertise, systems integrators can accelerate the design, implementation, and optimization of manufacturing systems. This leads to faster time-to-market for new products, allowing companies to respond quickly to market demands and opportunities.

Effective Problem Solving: Exposure to the challenges and solutions in both consumer and animal health sectors enhances an integrator’s problem-solving capabilities. They are adept at addressing complex issues that may arise during manufacturing, ensuring smooth and efficient production processes.
