Case Study
Emergency Shutdown Device Installation for Water Treatment
ACE supported emergency shutdown device installation and commissioning across 50 regional Western Australian water-treatment sites. The work covered chlorination and chloramination facilities for a major water and wastewater utility.
As a subcontractor, ACE worked with Trility’s technicians and engineers. The team applied its water utility controls experience to both legacy and modern hardware.
Emergency shutdown device engineering scope
- Control system programming for each site’s requirements.
- Documentation aligned with the client’s design and supplementary design guidelines.
- Testing of legacy and modern control system hardware.
- Support for installation and commissioning of the new ESDs.
Controlled changes at operating sites
ACE followed a systematic, site-specific approach to the control changes. This helped limit unintended functional changes and disruption to operations during deployment.
The project brought together programming, documentation and testing across 50 sites. It demonstrates ACE’s experience supporting control upgrades in operating water-treatment facilities.
