For 15 years, VKA and STEBATEC, the German Association for Sewerage and Wastewater Treatment, have been working together successfully. The latest milestone is the introduction of ARAbella ONLINE: With the web-based process control system, processes can be controlled online via remote access. A management of the waste water quantities becomes possible.

Products in use

Process engineering for process plant
Development of automated processes for efficiency and safety

Process Engineering

We are specialized in project planning, construction and service of critical infrastructures according to highest availability and security standards. Using complex control technology, algorithms and database-based intelligence, we also develop the optimal automation system for your process.
Electrical planning for water installations
Electrical engineering with practical experience

Electrical planning

We are passionately committed to finding the optimal solution. In doing so, the trustful and close cooperation with the operator and planner is particularly important to us. Our company history began back in the 1960s; the large number of projects realised since then has provided us with extensive expert knowledge in industrial automation and electrical planning.
IT, Netzwerke, Cybersecurity
Secure separation from the Internet. High level of comfort.

IT, Networks, Cybersecurity

We offer tailor-made, cost-optimized and future-proof solutions for an optimal demarcation of automation systems from the Internet, while maintaining access to the systems in terms of comfort and flexibility.
TF stationäre Durchflussmessung teilgefüllt für Abwasser und Regenwasser
Ultrasonic transit time difference measurement with dry weather gutter

TF Stationary flow measurement partially filled

The TF Stationary Flow Measurement is a calibrated measuring channel for backflow-free flow measurement of wastewater, raw wastewater and rainwater in open channels or open channels.
Pneumatic discharge control partially filled TFPNA as rainwater basin control in the sewer system
The reliable discharge control for wastewater and rainwater

Pneumatic discharge control partially filled TF-PNA

Precise and easy to maintain throttle system for stormwater tanks and wastewater structures. The fast, almost self-cleaning and remotely controllable butterfly valve with pneumatic actuator is based on the flow measurement integrated in the system and limits the flow to an arbitrarily adjustable quantity. As long as the maximum flow is not reached, the flap remains open, while the flow measurement system measures precisely even when partially filled.
Stationary flow measurement for waste water quantity measurement
Special solutions for measuring wastewater, raw wastewater and rainwater under the most difficult conditions.

Stationary flow measurement for wastewater

When the impossible becomes possible. High flow velocities, steep gradients, tight spaces, large measuring range. The more difficult the measuring task, the more suitable is the stationary flow measurement, which can often be retrofitted in existing structures and shafts.
Drainage control for waste water with pneumatic drive
Robust, transparent, accurate, fast, low maintenance and reliable for wastewater, raw wastewater and rainwater.

IDM-based pneumatic outflow control

Precise drain throttle for heavily polluted waste water. The IDM flow measurement for full filling is the central element of the almost self-cleaning, remotely operated and highly precise pneumatic discharge control PNA. The reliable and never-tiring flap with pneumatic drive and the pinch valve react quickly to changing flows and conditions.
INKA dynamische Kanalnetzsteuerung verhindert unnötige Mischabwasserüberläufe in die Gewässer
Software for safe and efficient sewer network optimization

INKA dynamic sewer network control

Intelligent management of the storage capacity in the sewer system makes a major contribution to water pollution control: it reduces overflows, makes optimum use of the storage volume in the sewer system and ensures the hydraulic capacity utilization of the wastewater treatment plant. Scientific studies show,
Cloud process control system for sewage treatment plants with high demands on safety, function and comfort

ARAbella online process control system

The browser-based process control system ARAbella online can be used worldwide as a web service for a license fee. You save the costs for your own server infrastructure and always work with the latest system version. Water levels are displayed animatedly in the software and operating states of the plants are automatically evaluated according to the situation and incorporated into statistics.
STEBalarm Management of technical alarms
The alarm system for all cases: intelligent, flexible, user-friendly, modular

STEBalarm

Our alarm system STEBalarm is extremely versatile. For a wide range of industries such as retail and wholesale, food production, transport, sales, municipalities and cities, federal and cantonal authorities, industrial and manufacturing companies, banks, research institutes, energy suppliers, and power plant operators.
STEBAnet data communication systems
Secure and volume-reduced data transmission on the Internet and in networks.

STEBAnet Mobile and Fixed Network Telecontrol

Networking and remote control of automation systems STEBAnet mobile, fixed and leased lines are data communication systems for decentralized control systems. Measurement data and control information are recorded on site for backup purposes and cyclically sent in packets or compressed form to the database of the central process control system. STEBAnet communicates in a way that preserves data volume and establishes connections only when needed, for example when a user at the process control system is viewing live data.
STEBAcam for monitoring automatic plants
Plant monitoring via camera image directly in the process control system.

STEBAcam ATEX

Plant monitoring without travel. You can define the intervals at which images are to be saved in addition to the live monitoring. In the process control system there are different tools available for image evaluation, so they can be displayed parallel to the hydrographs or also played as a film in different speeds.
Exhaust air system Rainwater basin Waste water
Targeted extraction of gases for less corrosion and more occupational safety.

Exhaust air systems

Complete exhaust air systems for explosive zones. The offer includes planning, manufacture, installation and commissioning, as well as intelligent and application-oriented control systems.
Hydraulic screen for solids retention at combined sewer overflows
Solid matter retention on overflow structures.

Hydraulic screen

The high performance screen is a horizontal bar screen with automatic cleaning device. It is regularly used as an effective measure for active water protection at overflows/reliefs of combined sewer systems and in the inlet of soil filters.
Flushing tipping bucket for surge flushing of rainwater tanks
Flush cleaning of storage tanks and sewers with dirty or clean water.

Flushing dump

The reliable, mostly installed solution for cleaning stormwater tanks.
Gas-tight manhole cover
Safe access to shafts and underground structures.

floor gates

Wherever a shaft is accessible, watertight or gastight, the right solution is available, with custom-made floor gates made of stainless steel.
