 Abstract

WTP Gruszczyn supplies drinking water to a part of the city of Pozna?, in the Midwest of Poland. The conventional production flow control and pressure control of the facility was replaced by the advanced control software called OPIR. To assess the differences between conventional and advanced control, production flows and pressures of two operational periods were compared. The comparison showed that advanced control led to 83% less variation in the production flow and 29% lower pressure of the clear water pumps. The lower pressure resulted in 20% less background leakage and the overall energy costs of the system were reduced by 11.5% (337,000 kWh per year).
