Online PLC Data Acquisition and Monitoring System Solution for Activated Carbon Adsorption Towers

Activated carbon adsorption towers are waste gas treatment equipment known for their effectiveness in treating organic waste gases and eliminating odors.

 They are also utilized in water purification processes. These towers leverage the adsorption properties of activated carbon to remove impurities and harmful substances from harmful gases or liquids, achieving purification goals. Widely applied across various industrial sectors such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, spray painting, and electronics, they demonstrate excellent performance in treating organic waste gases, malodorous gases, and solvent recovery.

With the rising awareness of environmental protection and increased emphasis on environmental policies by the government, enterprises are actively seeking more efficient methods to ensure environmental friendliness during production processes.

However, several industry pain points have emerged:

1. Traditional Manual Monitoring Methods: These methods cannot meet the demands for real-time monitoring.

    Manual inspections are prone to errors and inefficient, making it difficult to achieve 24-hour continuous monitoring.

2. Delayed Response to Issues: Problems often go undetected until they have already caused environmental pollution or equipment damage, resulting in unnecessary losses or even casualties for production activities and workers.

3. Data Analysis Challenges: The vast amount of data generated during production processes poses a challenge for enterprises in effectively integrating and scientifically analyzing this data to guide production decisions.

To address these issues, WideIOT (formerly Wutongbolian) provides a remote monitoring and management system for activated carbon adsorption towers based on PLC data acquisition.

 This system accesses the controller PLC via an industrial data acquisition gateway, enabling real-time data collection and communication (5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet) for the activated carbon adsorption tower's various indicators. The data is then transmitted to a cloud platform or upper computer for centralized processing and display, providing reliable support for fault maintenance and data analysis. This approach reduces manual labor while enhancing the accuracy and timeliness of remote monitoring.

Functional Characteristics

1. Real-time Monitoring: The system can continuously collect various operational parameters of the activated carbon adsorption tower and promptly upload them to a cloud or local server, enabling users to view the data at any time.

2. Anomaly Warning: Upon detecting abnormal data, the system immediately triggers warning notifications, allowing relevant personnel to take swift action and reduce the probability of pollution incidents.

3. Data Analysis: By mining and analyzing vast amounts of data, the system provides valuable insights to enterprises, aiding in more accurate environmental decision-making and optimization recommendations.

4. Operation and Maintenance Management: The system enables comprehensive monitoring and management of equipment operation and maintenance processes, ensuring the rational allocation of operation and maintenance resources and the safe and stable operation of equipment, thereby safeguarding personnel safety.

5. Data Forwarding: Various data such as hazardous gas concentrations and emission volumes can also be forwarded to the Environmental Protection Bureau platform via the HJ212 protocol, facilitating regulatory compliance and legal operation.
