Management turnover
Bruno Bachhofer says:
The Hydro-Elektrik GmbH group of companies has shown outstanding operating results over the past several years. The company group meanwhile employs more than 100 employees - and the trend is positive!
The basis for this success is our successful, high-quality, highly market-oriented products and services.
For me, this good market position, the economic success and the excellent staff and technical situation of the company are a special joy and proof that the sometimes extremely demanding work and the need to leave the beaten path have more than paid off.
However, at the age of 68 years, and after approximately 38 years with the company, it is now time for me to transfer my responsibility and turn over my position as CEO to another. However, I will still be active in the company on a regular basis and will contribute my experience, especially in the field of development.
I wish my successor in management, Head of Development Karl Weißhaupt, great joy and success in this position of great responsibility.
I am sure that the helm of the Hydro ship is in good hands with CEO Andrea Strobel and CEO Karl Weißhaupt that and both will do justice to their responsibility by making the right decisions. The company‘s prospects for the future are very good, which is why a new, additional company building is currently being planned. This will be one of the first challenges for the new management.

Complex process control technoloy realised for water treatment in power plant
RWT GmbH is producing an industrial water treatment line for a power plant in northern Germany in cooperation with Hydro-Elektrik GmbH
The first building phase of the water treatment line (heat displacement system and condensate cleaning with a flow rate of 140 m³/h) including a process control system has been operating successfully since the autumn of 2009. The process-related components were supplied by RWT GmbH, while the electrical engineering components including the control and instrumentation technology were realized by Hydro-Elektrik GmbH.
The entire control and instrumentation technology is based on a high-availability SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system. A majority of the components have a redundant design, enabling the system to continue operating without interruption even when individual components fail and reducing the risk of a production outage.
The process control system for this system consists of two data servers (OS servers1), five operating stations (clients) and an engineering station (ES station2). The terminal bus and the system bus (Industrial Ethernet) are also designed redundantly. The control level (AS level3) is built with redundant SIMATIC S7-400 controller. The external devices (e.g. valves and measuring devices) are connected on the field level via decentralised input and output units (I/O process peripherals) of the ET 200 series, which are redundantly connected via Profibus DP. The intelligent field devices are configured, parameterised and diagnosed via the control system using the SIMATIC PDM Process Device Manager.
The entire electrotechnical configuration, electrical planning based on E-Plan P8 and programming of the PCS 7 process control system and the automation systems was carried out by the employees of Hydro-Elektrik GmbH. Thanks to the close cooperation with the customer and the process technology experts of RWT GmbH in the project realisation phase, it was possible to quickly coordinate and implement the custom's needs and requests.
The expansion of the know-how in the area of process control systems based on the SIMATIC PCS 7 enables the Hydro-Elektrik group of companies to offer complex control and process control technology from a single supplier. In addition to the control of water treatment systems, other process-related processes can therefore also be displayed and operated.
