1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements for control and automation systems on wastewater treatment
plants for more than 50 PT. If necessary, the control system should also be designed to cover the control of sewer
systems in the receiving area of the wastewater treatment plant.

It specifies the necessary information and data which are needed for the design and implementation of such
systems as well as the performance requirements with respect to the hard- and software.

Differences in wastewater treatment throughout Europe have led to a variety of systems being developed. This
standard gives fundamental information about the systems; this standard has not attempted to specify all available
systems.

Detailed information additional to that contained in this standard can be obtained by referring to the bibliography.

4 General requirements
Control and automation systems are used to support the operators in maintaining process quality and cost
efficiency of the wastewater treatment plants. In addition they serve for documentation of the process, especially to
monitor and record the effluent quality parameters and as a tool for organising the maintenance of the plant itself.

The control system shall be considered at an early planning stage when evaluating the process design for the
overall process. The overall costs, including the investment and operating expenses for the control system with
respect to various treatment alternatives should be estimated and checked at this stage. Account shall be taken of
the fact, that a sophisticated control system requires skilled and trained personnel for maintenance. Therefore it is
mainly dependent on the plant size and process complexity whether a sophisticated control system or simple
controls are required.

The design shall take into account the required management information system. In certain cases it can be
advantageous to incorporate the control of the sewerage system.

The control and automation concept shall be specially designed for each wastewater treatment plant depending on
the treatment processes, manning levels and skills. It should also allow compliance with the requirements for
reliability and the operation in special situations, e.g. in case of failure of some components.

Control and automation systems should be configured as a network of several intelligent subsystems which are
served and operated by one or more central control stations in a hierarchical client-server-architecture. The design
of such networks shall comply with the requirements on data transfer rate, transmission protocols and the functions
of the substations. The control and automation system should support the communication via internet, e.g. it should

5
EN 12255-12 :2003 (E)

be possible to implement the web-server functionality to present on-line data as well as archival information in the
web compatible formats via the web.

Based on these basic considerations for the design of control and automation systems, in the following clauses
requirements on the necessary information with respect to the system design and further more to the hardware and
software features of the system are compiled. A fundamental concept is given for simple plants, which can be
upgraded to a network system applying to more complex process design.

5 Design requirements and automation concept

5.1 Input data for the design of the automation system

5.1.1 General

In addition to the general specifications and requirements according to prEN 12255-11 the customer shall supply
further requirements as basis for the evaluation of the appropriate degree of instrumentation and the selection of
the required components of the control and automation system as well as for the design of the control room
equipment. The extent of the data needed varies with the requirements on plant operation, on the level of
automation as well as on the documents to be produced, i.e. compiling of operational data in lists or balances.
These additional requirements refer to the instrumentation and automation systems (see 5.1.2) and the plant
operating conditions (see 5.1.3).

5.1.2 Instrumentation and automation systems

The complexity of the plant design relates to the sophistication of instrumentation and automation system.
Therefore the following requirements should be specified:

a) The level of instrumentation for process control, e.g.:

 flow, level, pressure, temperature;

 for chemical parameters such as pH;

 conductivity, redox, dissolved oxygen and turbidity;

 more complex on-line monitors for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate;

 for mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS).

b) strategies for providing default values in case of malfunction or failure of the transmitters, e. g. in control loops.

c) the control loop design for aeration facilities, nitrification, denitrification and phosphorus removal control as well
as recirculation and sludge treatment.

d) advanced control systems as modelling or fuzzy-control for the dosage of precipitant or flocculation agents.

5.1.3 Plant operating conditions

In addition to the basic process design the operational conditions, e. g. the required effluent quality, the power
supply, the manning and organisation of the maintenance shall be considered. The necessary data can include:

a) requirements on electrical power supply, emergency power supply and energy management systems including
gas engine powered generators;

b) location of control rooms on the plant and information on how to operate the different process units;

c) specification of explosion protected areas within the plant (see EN 12255-10);

d) specifications concerning plant infrastructure e. g. telephone, TV-supervision, fire alarm system;

6
 EN 12255-12 :2003 (E)

e) the number of external working places connected to the control room, e. g. in the laboratory on site or external
offices and remote notebook computers for service and maintenance personnel;

f) identification code system for units, power consumers and measuring points with the help of tag numbers;

g) system requirements:

- simple recording or complex control system within a network of automation units or computers, requirements
on data transmission via standardised interfaces or via internet;

h) operator assistance by expert systems, software tools comprising artificial intelligence or adaptive modelling
systems;

i) maintenance and repair protocols eventually connected to stock keeping and spare part ordering systems;

j) diagnostic and predictive functions e. g. for energy management, control of sewer system or flow control and
load computing;

k) permanently or periodically manned control rooms;

l) skills and availability of operator and maintenance personnel;

m) training programs for the operator and maintenance personnel by the supplier of the automation system;

n) log-in procedures for different hierarchical degrees of admittance control, e.g.:

- system administration, checking and setting or altering system control parameters, or only system-operating-
functions;

o) alarm schedule and regulations concerning the method of information handling in case of malfunction or
alarms.

5.2 Automation concept

The automation concept is a written document that shall specify in detail, how the requirements according to 5.1
are to be implemented into the system. The main points to be included are:

a) automation system design parameters:

 a complete description of the treatment process;

 a piping and instrumentation scheme that shall show the interconnections between different process steps
and the associated control-loops or sequential-batch-controls as well as the machinery, the
instrumentation and the different product flows with, e.g. the associated flow-rates, pressures and
temperatures;

 number of signals to be processed, identified and qualified as binary and analogue input-/output process
variables, counter values or manual inputs as well as the number of control-loops and step-wise operated
processes;

 number of substations, network design and control stations on the different operating levels;

 specification of hierarchical operation strategy on the different levels of automation systems, i.e. local
operation and control room;

 specification of the control room equipment, i.e. number of working places, monitors and printers,
interfaces to broadcast alarm systems or other data management systems;

 cabling for process variables and several system components.

b) Specifications concerning safety and operation:

7
EN 12255-12 :2003 (E)

 back up in the case of process, technical equipment or control system failure including hard-wired safety
control systems;

 start up and shut down procedures;

 system for detecting malfunctions and acknowledging procedures in the case of alarm signals;

 signal protection against lightning and excess voltage;

 specification of hierarchical operating procedures on the different levels of the automation system, i.e.
local operating panels, unit control panels, supervisory control and monitoring in the control room.

The specifications contained in the automation concept shall be regarded as the compulsory basis for the
implementation of the whole control and automation system.

The way of supplying the necessary data and specifications differs depending on the procedure of tendering.

6 Design and implementation

6.1 Tendering

6.1.1 General

The control and automation system is designed and implemented in several steps, each requiring different
involvement and responsibilities of the client, the planner and the operating authority depending on the procedure
of tendering:

 functional tendering;

 sectional tendering.

The control and automation system has to comply with all the client's requirements as specified in the automation
concept and with the general construction principles of prEN 12255-1. Depending on the procedure of tendering,
the specifications which have to be supplied by the client vary substantially with respect to the degree of details and
the amount of data required.

6.1.2 Functional tendering

This way of tendering requires mainly a detailed specification of the required functions and performance that shall
at least include:

 all operating requirements on the control and automation systems;

 the contractors design, realisation and implementation obligations, comprising especially the step of detail
engineering;

 the procedure of commissioning;

 the test and start up procedures;

 the way of performance testing and take over procedures.

6.1.3 Sectional tendering

This method of tendering is often performed not in that formal way as functional tendering, but in order to control
costs and time, the established procedures of project controlling and supervision should be followed in the different
steps of realisation. As the customer is involved much more in the basic design phase, he should be aware of his
greater responsibility which reflects his greater influence on the system design.

8
 EN 12255-12 :2003 (E)

6.2 Basic design

When performing the basic design all the data compiled in clause 5 has to be evaluated in order to write down the
automation concept. Therefore the automation engineer has to co-operate closely with the client and his process
engineer. During this design phase, the functional process lay-out as well as the required machinery and
instrumentation are to be specified. To perform the basic design, the following data shall be supplied:

 space assignment plans for the different plant components;

 layout plans for machinery;

 pipework and instrumentation schemes with measuring installations and power consumers as well as the
specification of product flow rates, diameters, pressures, temperatures etc.;

 in addition, building plans must be available which allow the layout of the cabling and of the control room to be
determined;

 in case of functional tendering the above mentioned steps are carried out as a package by the tenderer and
are the basis of the order;

 provisions against explosions, shut down functions.

6.3 Detail design

The detail design has to result in the definite description, e. g. by control-loop drawings and flow sheets diagrams
for programming, of how the functions that are specified in the automation concept are to be realised with the
contractor's hardware and software. The required equipment is specified and the necessary subsystems and
components are ordered for installation.

6.4 Implementation, test and take over

After the control and automation system is installed, the putting into operation and the acceptance tests have to be
carried out in several steps, that should be already defined in the order to the contractor:

 first, all control and signal loops have to be tested electrically while performing the signal tests;

 Thereafter, the connections and interlocks within the automation equipment of the process control system have
to be 'cold' tested, i.e. before start up of the process. During the cold tests some signals have to be simulated,
as initially only some treatment units of the whole plant can be checked and the PV's of other parts are not
available. Step by step the different parts have to be started up until finally the plant is in operation;

 In the case of larger control room installations, e.g. several working places, it may be useful, to perform a
separate factory acceptance test only for this part of the automation system with respect to the visualising,
monitoring and recording features.

The cold start up is followed by the trial operation and the performance tests in which the ordered system functions
and the over all performance of the automation system shall be verified and confirmed in the formal take over
procedure.

The different steps of test and take over procedure shall be specified in a written document; especially the following
aspects have to be agreed:

 the extent of the signal and loop tests, documentation of test results and identification of a representative of
both the client and planner respectively as well as of the contractor to perform the tests;

 the conditions for the beginning of start up, personnel for operation, refund of the cost of start up operation,
liability;

 the duration of trial operation, operating staff, time of reaction by the contractor in the case of malfunction,
manning requirements to the contractor;

 performance test and take over regulations, commencement of warranty;

9
EN 12255-12 :2003 (E)

 training procedures for plant operators and service personnel for the automation system.

7 Specification of automation systems

7.1 General

The automation concept defines the aims and all functions of the control and automation system for a specific
installation. The different components of the automation system and its definite configuration have to comply with
the automation concept and should be selected according to the required performance with respect to an economic
approach.

In a simple plant, a PC-based monitoring system in the main control room can be sufficient for documentation and
process control associated with some decentralised logic controllers working as substations for peripheral process
connection.

For large and more complex treatment plants, in general, several distributed control rooms, e.g. for the biological
treatment and the sludge treatment including dewatering are required. Additionally a terminal may be established
for the input of chemical analysis data in the laboratory and another for supervisory tasks in the administration
centre.

7.2 Requirements

In the following minimum requirements and additional features of automation components are compiled with
respect to hardware and software functionality. The listing (tables 1 to 4) can be used as a check list and as a
catalogue of requirements which should be fulfilled by the components of a control and automation system in order
to comply with the automation concept.

Intermediate stages of requirements are possible and shall be agreed if required.
