Wastewater monitoring in concrete and gravel production
Monitoring and optimization of wastewater flows
In order to meet the increasingly stringent water protection requirements, Makies AG is investing in a modern wastewater monitoring system. Data recording and visualization make it possible to go beyond current requirements to identify potential for improvement in operations and react quickly to stricter enforcement and legislation.

„Thanks to the solution from Endress+Hauser, we are in control of the wastewater flows that are constantly occurring."
Makies AG
The challenge
Uncontaminated and treated wastewater from the Gettnau plant is discharged into the Mülibach - the legal discharge conditions regarding pH value and TDS (total dissolved substances) must be complied with and verified. Alkaline wastewater from concrete production is collected in storage tanks and neutralized before discharge. Management of these tanks allows the water to be reused in the internal cycle. The optimization of plant operation through online measurements should lay the foundation for sustainable management.
The solution
The online measurement technology for monitoring level, flow, pH and GUS forms the basis for the solution. The measured values are recorded on the customer's local server, which enables legally compliant monitoring of the wastewater. The visualization via “FlowChief” provides information on current measured values and the status of the wastewater flows. In addition, historical data can be compared and summarized in individual reports. In this way, operations can be continuously optimized.
