How does AVEVA help treat water more efficiently in the face of water scarcity?
ACCIONA deployed AVEVA System Platform, Historian, PI System, Advanced Analytics and CONNECT to build its CECOA control center. The unified platform increased treated water production capacity by 16 m³/h while reducing the energy consumption of high-pressure pumps by 4.6%. With global water scarcity, optimizing the yield of each facility is becoming strategic. AVEVA provides the technology foundation that turns existing infrastructure into higher-performing assets, without major additional hardware investment.
What is a virtual pollutant meter and how does AVEVA Advanced Analytics make it possible?
ACCIONA's virtual pollutant meters rely on AVEVA Advanced Analytics and machine learning to predict, in real time, parameters that previously required laboratory analysis (sometimes taking several hours). By combining live SCADA data with predictive models, the platform estimates pollutant concentrations at the outlet of wastewater treatment plants. This approach allows chemicals to be dosed more precisely, reducing unnecessary use and minimizing environmental impact. It is a major technological leap in water treatment.
How can AVEVA reduce chemical use in water treatment?
ACCIONA reduces chemical use thanks to virtual meters powered by AVEVA Advanced Analytics, which measure pollutants in real time instead of overdosing as a precaution. Predictive data replaces cautious estimates: each plant applies only the quantity of reagents strictly necessary. This optimization delivers immediate financial savings, a smaller environmental footprint and better quality of water discharged into the natural environment. It is a virtuous circle made possible by digital transformation.
What role does AVEVA CONNECT play in remotely commissioning plants during a crisis?
During the pandemic, ACCIONA remotely commissioned plants outside Spain thanks to AVEVA CONNECT and a digital twin. The cloud platform allowed teams in lockdown in Spain to configure, test and start up facilities without traveling. This operational resilience, impossible with traditional on-premises tools, illustrates the strategic value of the industrial cloud. Continuity of the essential water service was thus ensured despite unprecedented health restrictions.
How does AVEVA support a global sustainable infrastructure company?
ACCIONA, a global leader in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy, uses AVEVA System Platform, Historian, PI System, Advanced Analytics and CONNECT as a unified technology foundation. This software stack covers the entire cycle: real-time SCADA data collection, historization, AI analytics, centralized monitoring and cloud sharing. For a group present on every continent, it is the only architecture capable of supporting ambitious environmental goals while ensuring operational performance. AVEVA becomes a strategic partner in industrial sustainability.
