BonBloc IoT

It is a cost efficient, reliable and quiet solution due to the integration of stepper motor valves into the Control Unit. More benefits of BonBloc^® IoT are:

• Operation of the Control Unit by phone / tablet / touchscreen via browser (no application needed) and Wi-Fi or 2/4G
• Reception of emails in case of any alarms
• Analytic overview of your plant by the detailed event log showing all relevant parameters, including pressure, in– and output states, remaining times etc.
• Control of water level in multiple tanks at different levels using the integrated pressure sensor plus an airlift or a diffusor
• Storage and selection of multiple programs for different plant types and sizes

BonBloc^® IoT integrates both a powerful controller and quiet and reliable valves into a compact and easy to install device at a competitive price. It belongs to a new generation of control units developed to meet the requirements of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Home.

The BonBloc^® IoT is equipped with functions such as acoustic signalling of predefined conditions, USB, Wi-Fi or 2/4G for updates and non-volatile memory for event-logs. To ensure continuous acoustic and optical signaling during power outage, a set of NiMH rechargeable batteries is provided. It powers the alarm buzzer and the optional BonFlash LED alarm beacon or Bon-Alarm alarm forwarder. All electrical connections are implemented using cost-effective and universally compatible screw type terminals.
Instead of conventional solenoid valves the BonBloc^® series use reliable stepper motors from the automotive industry. The main benefits of the stepper motors are up to 95% energy savings and that they are much quieter than solenoid actuated valves.

Integrated webserver

The integrated webserver of the IoT controller series allows to operate the treatment plant and to access all information with any browser. 

• Service the plant by Wi-Fi without having to enter the building where the control unit is installed
• Analyze and operate the plant remotely via 2G/4G in case of any issues

Design sophisticated processes

With the BonBloc^® IoT there are no restrictions for your ideas. BONNEL’s PC software MenuMaker allows to program even the most complex processes and menus efficiently. The IoT controller supports multiple connected programs, calculations within the process, analogue water level evaluation, automatic shut-off of airlifts, user defined alarm conditions, timers, counters and much more. Once programmed, you can modify and adopt the software yourself.
It is even possible to combine SBR and continuous processes within one control unit to design innovative cleaning processes or to run your buffer pump in duplex mode while cleaning the sewage.

Create creative business models

The IoT platform can help you to create new business models.

• Do you want to rent your plants? Block the plant automatically when no payment is arriving.
• Do you want to reach remote areas? Control and monitor your plant remotely.
• Do you want to do PPP or provide water treatment as service? Prove your plant is running well connecting sensors to the analogue input and transfer all data to telemetry servers in the cloud.
   

Generally, the Control Units are delivered with a menu, web pages and a process developed according to the requirements of a sewage treatment plant manufacturer. As the development is time-consuming and thus not efficient at low quantities, BONNEL offers some standard processes which can be slightly modified according to customer requirements to lower the development costs. Please mind, that there are only dummy step times programmed. The preprogrammed processes do not replace know-how about decentralized sewage treatment at BONNEL’s customers. BONNEL is a market leader in control units, not in sewage treatment processes. BONNEL does not guarantee that plants with these standard processes will have good treatment results. BONNEL does not copy any processes or features that have been realized for a customer into its standard processes.

The following standard processes are available:

Air-SBR

• Clearwater removal via airlift
• Clearwater removal via submersible pump
• Output for Phosphorus removal including load-based dosing and low precipita-tion liquid level warning
• Measurement of the amount of treated water

One-Tank SBR plant

• Clearwater removal via airlift
• Clearwater removal via submersible pump

MBBR / fixed bed / SAF / Continuous Plant

• No Filling / with Feeding
• Filling / Feeding via submersible filling pump
• Filling / Feeding via airlift pump
• No Clearwater removal
• Clearwater removal via airlift
   

Standard models are available in any quantity. Besides the standard models, customer specific versions / configurations are available at an MOQ of 100 units per year. On request and at reasonable quantities, customer specific control units based on this control unit can be derived. For example, a different I/O configuration, a version without LCD, other communication technologies like LoRa^® and similar changes can be performed.
