Case Study: Branston achieves 90% water recycling and cost and environmental savings with AVEVA System Platform

ArchestrA System Platform Ensures Environmental Success at Branston

Branston, a UK potato processor with sites across the country, needed to cut water use, comply with regulated borehole abstraction limits and deploy a geographically distributed monitoring solution to meet retailer and environmental requirements. AVEVA’s industrial software—System Platform with InTouch HMI, Wonderware Historian and Information Server—was chosen to provide centralized SCADA, data historization and secure remote access across sites.

Integrated with a Membrane BioReactor and automation by partner InControl, AVEVA’s System Platform enabled master‑object deployment, centralized trends, alarm analysis and web reporting; the result was up to 90% water recycling at the South West site, a 52% reduction in mains water use, 160 m3/day throughput and an estimated 90% cut in engineering call‑outs, delivering clear cost savings, regulatory compliance and environmental benefits. AVEVA’s solution made continuous monitoring, process tuning and remote management possible for Branston.
