Ingoldmells Sewage Treatment Works

On the Lincolnshire coast situated near the town of Skegness is the Ingoldmells Sewage Treatment Works.

Manjung Power Station WTP - Malaysia

Manjung Power Station, in Malaysia is currently being constructed on a man made island by Alstom. Max Wright Limited has supplied the ICA control panel for the Water Treatment Plant, including all PLC and MMI software. The Water Treatment Plant includes sand filters, activated carbon filters, cation exchangers, anion exchangers and mixed bed exchangers.

Litcham Compact Plant Sewage Treatment Works Norwich

Litcham Sewage Treatment works is an existing works approximately thirty miles from Norwich that is being updated. The Sewage Treatment Works will treat sewage from the villages of Litcham, Mileham and Tittlehall and discharge the 'Final Effluent' into the River Nar.

New Bandit™ Raking Machine Software

The Brackett Geiger Bandit™ Raking Machine is supplied as a standard 250kg S.WL. design, and as with Brackett Geiger's overhead machines, optional grab designs are available for any type of screening application from sewage and household waste to river and sea intakes.

The raking arm of the machine is operated by three hydraulic rams for grab, linear, and lifting movements and is rotated at the base by a geared motor unit.

New MPS Literature Available

The new Modular Panel System (MPS™) is soon to be launched, at the moment the MPS is going through tests in preparation of the launch, for more information on MPS™ see Prototype Modular Steelwork Passes Tests or MPS™ Specification

Catalytic Converter Plant Switchboard uses new MPS System technology

The new Modular Panel System (MPS) has been used to great affect in a new Distribution Switchboard, for more information on MPS see Prototype Modular Steelwork Passes Tests

Our Customer had a requirement to provide a Distribution Network System for a new area of plant. This included two new Sub Station Transformers, a new Distribution Switchboard, Power Factor Correction and associated site cabling. In the existing Switchroom there was a limited amount of space, approximately 3.8M, to position a new Switchboard.

Revolutionary River Abstraction plant in Suffolk

The river Gipping in Suffolk is the water source for a new project involving the abstraction of water for Ipswich and the surrounding area. A number of control panels have been constructed and installed to allow the removal of water from the river to supply a nearby reservoir and treatment works, while maintaining an Enviromental Agency monitored flow downstream. The panels consist of two separate MCC's. These MCC's contain two 132kW DOL (Direct On Line) drives and one 250kW VSD (Variable Speed Drive) each, that work between the two panels in a Duty Assist manner.

Thickener Dosing plant for the erradication of the Cryptosporidium Bug

An existing water treatment works situated in the North West of Great Britain has been refurbished and upgraded. The main reason for the refurbishment was to eliminate the possibility of a Cryptosporidium Bug outbreak. The Motor Control Centre shown here was supplied and installed as the main process control panel for the Thickening and Dosing Plant on this site.

Modular Panel System Passes ASTA Test With Flying Colours

The need for a quick and easily constructed panel has been met by the design and manufacture of a modular steelwork. This utilises pre formed components that can be fitted together to create a Control Panel to meet customer specifications and requirements. The use of a standard parts kit will mean the panel can be constructed with off the shelf components for speed and ease of manufacture.

Harlow Chemicals Instrument Control Panel

Harlow chemicals required an Instrument Control panel to replace an existing system for the final stage of a process to produce a polymer additive for plastics. The existing system due to a lack of comprehensive drawings had to be investigated and a new up to date set was produced for the panel manufacture.

New Max Wright Web Site Goes Live

The original site went live in January 1999, offering information about the company and the opportunity to contact us and complete forms via the web. While this site generated a many more hits per month than our rivals, it was acknowledged that the site was limited in its interactivity and the information that was provided was only of use to new or potential customers.

New MCV Software

On a recent project for a major water company, Max Wright Systems & Software were asked to produce software for an Allen Bradley SLC 500 PLC, which would replace four cell validation units to improve reliability and provide extensive logging and alarming facilities. The multiple cell validation systems had to be monitored via a MMI and provide a reliable analog signal to control dosing systems.

Water Treatment Costs Cut By Automation

All process in Anglian Water's Belstead treatment works near Ipswich have been automated by the installation of control equipment with remote monitoring capability, on-screen display of the entire operation and the ability to save electricity by switching between the local grid and a standby generator.

Modern Control Panels Improve Reliability Of Chemical Process

In 1995, Harlow Chemical (HARCO) spent 13 million pound on new plant to increase its production capacity of polyvinyl alcohol by 40 per cent. The expansion saw the introduction of hydrolysis kettles and solvent extraction equipment similar to those already in place. However the new control panels supplied by Max Wright Limited are considerably more powerful in terms of their ability to monitor process conditions and alarms.

Control Panel Does The Wright Mix

The Max wright Limited panel which controls the production of some products at the bottling and canning plant of Britvic Soft Drinks in Widford, near Chelmsford, is a good example of the increased flexibility in the process control environment being demanded by manufacturers these days.
