By connecting industrial cellular routers to PLC systems and cameras, local monitoring rooms can display real-time data and video feeds, ensuring efficient management and control.
Background
As rural economies rapidly develop and urbanization progresses, water and soil pollution have become major concerns due to the increased volume of household waste. Rural areas are now emerging as significant pollution hotspots, contributing heavily to environmental degradation. Addressing these issues has become crucial for sustainable ecological progress and environmental protection.
In China, rural areas account for over 50% of national water pollutant discharge, while domestic sewage treatment rates remain alarmingly low—only about 10% to 20%. A large portion of sewage is discharged untreated, posing severe risks to local drinking water and aquatic ecosystems.
Challenges with Traditional Detection Methods
- Widespread pollution sources:
Traditional detection methods are ineffective due to the sheer number of pollution sources.
- Limited coverage:
Detection networks are often poorly distributed and have narrow coverage.
- Resource constraints:
Limited financial and human resources delay the detection and response to water quality issues.
- Poor timeliness:
Water quality monitoring in remote areas lacks compliance, making it difficult to address pollution promptly.
Solutions
The solution integrates sewage treatment devices, wireless communication systems, and a centralized monitoring platform to address these challenges.
The monitoring platform enables remote control by issuing commands to intelligent routers via GPRS or 4G networks, which are then transmitted to the PLC. After collecting data from various devices, the information is sent back to the platform for processing, allowing for real-time remote management and intelligent decision-making.
Wireless Communication Devices
Data from PLC systems is transmitted wirelessly, allowing remote monitoring and control of sewage collection and terminal devices from the central control center.
Sewage Device Monitoring Platform
The central monitoring platform, typically housed in the control and dispatch department, uses a fixed server with a public network to facilitate seamless data collection, processing, and remote management. This ensures effective oversight and responsive action to maintain water quality standards.
