Control panels and equipment in the water and wastewater treatment industry automate and manage processes such as pumping, monitoring and system adjustments. These panels typically feature remote access capabilities, allowing operators to configure settings and monitor performance through secure platforms. Take a look at some control panels and control panel accessories below.
ORENCO SYSTEMS OLS CONTROL PANELS
OLS control panels from Orenco Systems are designed and built for an array of municipal pumping applications including wastewater lift stations, stormwater pump stations, dewatering pump control, sludge pumping and freshwater boosting. The panels are available with Orenco Cloud service, which eliminates the need for a separate SCADA system. As another option, the panels can be connected to an existing SCADA system. Parameters can be configured with our user-friendly startup wizard via a remote computer or tablet or using the included touchscreen. Engineers will preprogram user interfaces to the site-specific needs of an installation, making the panel virtually “plug and play.” Maintenance staff can easily adjust settings and monitor the system remotely. The panels are weatherproof and UL 508A listed. They also include service-rated circuit protection, phase and voltage protection, and level controls.

PRIMEX ARC ARMOR ENCLOSURE
The safe, innovative, multiple compartment ARC ARMOR enclosure from PRIMEX reduces the risk of injury resulting from arc flash and electric shock by limiting access to electrical equipment capable of producing arc flash incidents. The control and power circuitry are isolated in separate compartments, where only control voltage is present (120-volt max), thus preventing unnecessary exposure of operators to arc flash. It reduces exposure to arc flash and arc blast with its multiple compartment design and single-wall construction. It has a single-sheet drip cap with rolled-edge drip loops on free-standing models. It includes electrostatically precipitated white polyester powder coating, which reduces heat buildup, and three-point padlockable operating handles. Freestanding, wall mount and pole mount versions are available.

SMITH & LOVELESS SHADE AIDE
The SHADE AIDE from Smith & Loveless is a human-machine interface screen protector that easily installs onto a variety of control panels so that operators can see their HMI no matter how sunny of a day. It collapses when not in use and is fully lockable. It also protects the display from the harmful effects of constant UV ray exposure, saving the maintenance budget from replacement HMI costs due to excessive sun exposure. The product is compatible and customizable to fit every HMI screen sold today, with custom sizes available.
