Remote Monitoring System Solution for Data Collection from Mineral Processing Wastewater Treatment Equipment

Wastewater generated during mineral processing operations is a major contributor to environmental pollution in mining areas.

 This wastewater contains a wide variety of pollutants, including solid suspended particles, persistent heavy metal ions, residual chemicals from the flotation process, and oil contamination. If not treated properly and discharged directly, it can cause significant damage to natural environments such as rivers, soil, farmland, and wetlands downstream of the plant, further disrupting the lives and work of nearby residents.

Mineral processing plants can effectively safeguard mining safety by deploying wastewater treatment equipment to collect and treat wash water, cooling water, magnetic separation wastewater, and flotation wastewater, ensuring compliance with discharge standards before release.

 To enhance the management level of wastewater treatment equipment and prevent potential abnormal failures, WideIoT provides a remote monitoring system solution for data collection from mineral processing wastewater treatment equipment.

Solution Overview:
By deploying a WideIoT industrial intelligent gateway in the electrical control cabinet of the wastewater treatment equipment and establishing a connection with the PLC via a network port or serial port, and configuring device models, collection frequencies, and alarm rules, the gateway can automate data collection.

 It transmits the operational status, process parameters, and alarm information of the wastewater treatment equipment to a remote monitoring cloud platform, enabling remote monitoring, fault warning, remote control, online management, and data analysis of the equipment. This effectively improves equipment operational efficiency, enhances management levels and work efficiency, and provides strong assurance for ensuring production safety.

Implemented Functions:

1. Comprehensive Data Collection: The system collects key information such as the operational status, working parameters, and alarm data of the equipment and uploads it to the remote monitoring cloud platform with high concurrency, low power consumption, and breakpoint resumption capabilities. It also supports transmission via the HJ212 protocol to ensure seamless integration with the Environmental Protection Bureau's platform.
2. Visual Display: Utilizing configuration software or a cloud-based configuration platform, the system visually displays the operational information of the wastewater treatment equipment, including the on/off status of pumps, valve positions, inlet/outlet flow rates, motor operating frequencies, and real-time water quality, making it more intuitive and understandable.
3. Intelligent Alarm Mechanism: The system can set up an intelligent alarm mechanism that immediately triggers alarms when abnormal conditions such as abnormally high water pressure, abnormally low current, or water quality fluctuations are detected. Alerts are sent through multiple channels, including WeChat, SMS, email, and platform notifications, to ensure prompt response and handling of alarm events.
4. Remote Control: The gateway can upload data and issue instructions to the PLC for remote control of equipment such as pumps and valves, enabling rapid intervention in case of equipment abnormalities and effectively preventing the escalation of production accidents and economic losses.
5. Data Analysis and Decision Support: By thoroughly analyzing key indicators such as treated water volume and treatment efficiency, the system accurately assesses the work efficiency and fault trends of the wastewater treatment equipment, providing a solid basis for formulating scientific and reasonable operation and maintenance strategies and ensuring stable and efficient operation of the equipment.
