The implementation of the maitm environmental suite has been a success at many companies as they seek to achieve sustained compliance and manage mission-critical information.  The case studies highlighted in this section are a testament to our ultimate success and provide valuable lessons learned in the pursuit of excellence in environmental management and quality.
 

IMPROVING WASTE WATER LICENSE COMPLIANCE
AND OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES

Customer Pain:
A major waste water treatment plant facility was not operating effectively and regularly exceeding its license conditions. Daily lab samples were analyzed but the nature of the sampling (grab) did not reveal an analysis of when and where the problems were occurring. The building was in a remote location which complicated efforts to understand the unique challenges happening at the facility.

Solution:
The MAItm application suite was selected as a solution to address the unique challenges within this waste water treatment facility.  The plant deployed the MAItm Waste Water module to gather real-time analysis of when and where problems were occurring.  The various control instruments at the waste water treatment facility (pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, inflow and outflow volumes) were connected into the PLC network.

Using MAItm, the plat was able to effectively capture relevant real time plant performance data, including upper and lower parameters.
Leveraging an integrated SCADA application, we were able to capture important trending and visual display of the results. MAI'stm ubiquitous web-based front end facilitated easy access to the information required to ensure license compliance and accelerate operational efficiencies remotely from its home office environment, including outside hours security.
Key Benefits To Client
The waste water treatment plant recognized significant benefits from the use of MAI'stm? application suite.  The most significant benefit was the real time visualization of working parameters that allowed plant personnel to view and more importantly respond and correct any impending irregularities.  As a result, the waste water treatment is now operating within its license conditions.
