Yokogawa
has received an order from PT Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk, a major
Indonesian construction company specialising in the power plant and
water supply and wastewater treatment sectors, to supply the automation
system for the Petanu water treatment plant that it is building at the
Sanur beach resort area on Bali's southeastern coast for a municipal
water utility that is overseen by the Indonesian government's Ministry
of Public Works.
The
Petanu water treatment plant will produce 300 litres per second
(approximately 25,920 cubic metres per day) of clean water for Gianyar
Regency, Denpasar City, and Badung Regency. It is scheduled to start
operation in September 2013.
Indonesia
is the world's fourth most populous country, and its infrastructure is
being rapidly developed to meet the growing needs of its urban
population and the tourism industry. The Petanu water treatment plant is
a key to ensuring a stable supply of clean water for southeastern Bali.
The
automation system that is to be installed at the Petanu water treatment plant includes the FAST/Tools SCADA (Supervisory Control & Data
Acquisition) software package, the Stardom network-based control system,
analysers, and a variety of field devices such as Admag series magnetic
flowmeters. Yokogawa Indonesia will be responsible for the entire
project, from engineering to delivery, installation, and commissioning.
Yokogawa
was able to win this order because of its ability to provide a “one
stop” solution comprised of field devices, control systems, and other
products that will meet a wide range of operation and maintenance needs
and thereby improve the efficiency of water production.
Water
shortages are becoming a serious problem in many parts of the world,
particularly in developing countries, because of rapid economic and
population growth. According to a report entitled “Future vision and
policy response toward water business industry" that was released by the
Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in April 2010, the
global water market is projected to grow from 36 trillion yen in 2007 to
87 trillion yen in 2025.
Encouraged
by the success in winning this order, Yokogawa will seek to expand its
share of the water-related control business in Southeast Asia and other
emerging regions by providing water supply infrastructure solutions
based on its extensive experience in water treatment applications and
technical expertise in automation systems.
