Mitsubishi to Help Yorkshire Meet Water Directive

Yorkshire Water has signed a GBP6m, five-year framework agreement with Mitsubishi Electric that will help it achieve the Revised Bathing Water Directive. The agreement relates to the supply of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and human-machine interfaces (HMIs). These will be used in both new-build and upgrade projects over the next five years. Yorkshire has a unique water grid system that allows water to be moved around the area to where it is needed most.

This includes more than 700 water and sewage treatment works and 120 reservoirs. These are interconnected by 40,000 miles of water and sewerage mains - enough pipework to circulate the Earth and 3,000 booster stations. One of the key objectives of the development strategy is to improve the remote intervention of distant unmanned sites through the grid's control system.

The idea is to be able to control stations both individually and as a small group of sites working in concert to a far higher degree than is found in the UK water industry. The agreement covers all of Mitsubishi's PLC and HMI ranges. The advanced Q series of systems will be used, offering a combination of fault tolerance, versatility and value for money.
