Semiconductor Company Meets 2025 Water Reduction Goals at Multiple Plants with New Systems
CHALLENGE: A leading semi-conductor company must increase its recycling to meet its 2025 global water goals. Systems need to be designed, installed, and supported at multiple sites with unique application programs for each plant that conform to stringent corporate design standards.
SOLUTION: Wunderlich-Malec used integrated office teams to design and implement the control systems for the unique site applications of the customized water treatment skids.
RESULT: The multi-site systems successfully maximized standard aspects of the water treatment system applications at each installation with unique programs for local plant customer requirements and support achievement of the water recycling
SUMMARY: Wunderlich-Malec successfully fulfilled the semiconductor company’s need to implement first-of-its kind, multi-site water treatment skid technology that would assist in achieving its sustainability goals for water usage through the application of new recycling technology.
Wunderlich-Malec leveraged its subject matter experts and experienced, in-depth talent in control system technology and wastewater recycling applications located in its 34 national offices to design, implement and support the systems at multiple local sites.
WM engineers maximized all standard skid applications and tailored each control system to integrate seamlessly with each plant’s existing control and MES systems within the customer’s stringent corporate design standards.
The scopes of work at each facility included: GE Cimplicity SCADA development; Rockwell Studio Logix version 30; Rockwell RS Logix version 20; PLC to PLC redundant Ethernet; PLC to SCADA Ethernet (Telecom Network); Simulation testing to ensure programs meet design and Sequence of Operations (SQQ) intent; 1/0 checkout procedures and automated applications for the Commissioning process, and more.
The customer benefited with the application of unique control systems that met their stringent corporate requirements. WM’s collaboration with the customer ensured maximum reuse of control system design and programs to reduce project costs. The customer received commissioning support assurance of long-term service from WM’s local office.
