DynaWater4.0 – Dynamic value creation networks through digital collaboration between industrial water management and production
Initial situation
- Automation, networking and digital technologies are transformation drivers of process water treatment
- Coordination of production processes and process water treatment are necessary
- Process water treatment is often environmentally relevant and constitutes a bottleneck
- Lack of process water forecasting tools allows only situational management of process water treatment
Project objectives
- Dynamic networking of industrial water management or process water treatment and industrial production using models and CPS (cyber-physical systems), sensor networks / data platforms and components (measurement-control-rules (MSR) & water technology)
Innovative process approaches
- Linking production planning with production and process water treatment
Current work
- Process characterization and classification
- Product development for the networking of water treatment and production
- Modeling of water treatment, e.g. with preparation of a model for the pH-prediction of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid as well as pre-calculation of the needed for neutralization agent amount
- Modeling of production process
Outlook
- Installation of available MSR technology and linking / networking with modeling
- Demonstration at model locations
- Development of integration concepts for the digitization of water treatment
