El Paso Jonathan Rogers Water Treatment
Parkhill, the original designer of the Jonathan Rogers Surface Water Treatment Plant, was selected to lead a crucial expansion, increasing the plant’s capacity by 20 million gallons per day (MGD). The upgrade involved implementing a state-of-the-art automation and control system, featuring 15 programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to manage each stage of the treatment process.
High-Tech Solutions
These PLCs communicate via fiber-optic and copper connections, ensuring smooth coordination of system tasks. In addition, Parkhill designed a custom human-machine interface (HMI) with over 50 unique graphical screens deployed across 12 view stations throughout the plant.
Real-Time Control
The upgraded system now provides automated control for up to 60 MGD, dramatically improving the plant’s efficiency and ensuring reliable water treatment for the community.
