The Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT) is of great significance to the improvement of industrial efficiency and quality, and to reduce industrial costs and resources. However, there are few openly-reported practical project applications based on the IIoT up to now. For legacy automation devices in traditional industry, it is especially challenging to realize the upgrading of industrial automation adopting the IIoT technology with less investment. Based on the practical engineering experience, this paper introduces the automation renovation of a sewage treatment plant. The legacy automation devices are upgraded by the central controller of a STM32 processor, and the WeChat Applet  is used as the extended host computer. A set of remote monitoring and control systems of sewage treatment based on the IIoT is built to realize the wide-area monitoring and control of sewage treatment. The paper describes the field hardware system, wide-area monitoring and control application program, management cloud platform and security technologies in detail. The actual operation results show that the monitoring system has the requirements of high accuracy, good real-time performance, reliable operation and low cost.

With the development of urbanization in various countries, the pollution of water resources is becoming more and more serious. The water pollution usually refers to industrial waste-water pollution, rural aquaculture waste-water pollution and domestic sewage pollution. Industrial waste water is produced in the process of industrial production, such as paper mill waste water, dyeing and weaving plant waste water, mining and processing waste water, which has the most serious pollution to the water quality. The pollution of rural breeding sewage refers to pig farms and cattle farms. The sewage produced by them from the rural environment is very big. The domestic sewage refers to the sewage produced in the process of people’s life. Although the impact of domestic sewage is small, if it is directly discharged into the river, it will cause pollution to the living environment and drinking water of the city.The treatment of water pollution has become an important issue in the current urban recycling development, and has been paid attention to by various regions . In recent years, more efforts have been made to control water resources, a large number of new sewage treatment plants have been built to improve water quality.
