OBJECTIVE<\/p>\n<\/div>

Phrase describing the challenge\/need\/purpose of the project<\/h2><\/div>

In 2000, the EPM group initiated the Medell\u00edn River sanitation program with the commissioning of the San Fernando wastewater treatment plant. In 2012, with the objective of continuing the program and achieving treatment of 95% of these waters, the EPM group subsidiary, Aguas Nacionales\/Consorcio de Aguas de Aburr\u00e1, constructed and commissioned the north interceptor and the Bello wastewater treatment plant. <\/p>\n

This megaproject enabled the transportation of wastewater from the municipalities of Medell\u00edn and Bello to this plant where, through activated sludge, it receives secondary treatment before being discharged into the Medell\u00edn River. In this way, by reducing the organic load received by the river, it will be possible to raise the dissolved oxygen content to a minimum level of 5 mg\/l, complying with the requirements established by the environmental authority. <\/p>\n

The supplied system has two main objectives: on the one hand, to ensure the protection of equipment and personnel by preventing possible catastrophic failures in the most critical equipment; and on the other, to enable continuous and remote supervision of equipment operation, as some equipment is located outside the plant facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

HOW WE MADE IT HAPPEN<\/p>\n<\/div>

Phrase describing the challenge\/need\/purpose of the project<\/h2><\/div>

Within the construction project of the Bello wastewater treatment plant, a vibration monitoring system was planned to improve the performance of the main machinery. The scope of this monitoring system included continuous monitoring of 41 machine trains as well as the supply of portable vibration measurement equipment for conducting measurement routes on less critical machinery. <\/p>\n

The monitored machinery includes inlet pumps to the wastewater treatment system, aeration system blowers, primary and secondary sludge pumps, agitators, thickening and dewatering centrifugal pumps, and gas motor generators. Temperatures in bearings and bushings are also monitored.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
