Water Treatment Plant SCADA Modernization
Legacy DCS replacement and SCADA upgrade for a municipal water authority
A regional water authority was operating critical treatment infrastructure on a 15-year-old DCS with no remote monitoring capability and limited alarm management. Operators were manually logging 340+ parameters per shift, and the system had experienced 3 unplanned outages in the previous 18 months.
Peunier executed a phased SCADA replacement using Ignition as the core platform, migrating all process control logic, implementing mobile operator access, and deploying a comprehensive alarm rationalization.
Legacy System Assessment
Full documentation of existing DCS logic, I/O mapping, and alarm philosophy across 340 monitored parameters.
Ignition Platform Development
Built Ignition SCADA system with full P&ID visualization, trend historians, and regulatory reporting templates.
Alarm Rationalization
Reduced alarm count from 1,240 to 387 through structured rationalization—improving operator response to genuine process deviations.
Mobile & Remote Access
Deployed secure mobile operator interface and remote supervisor access with full audit trail.
Cutover & Training
Executed hot-cutover during low-demand period with zero service interruption to distribution customers.
