A Living Model of Your Entire Collection & Treatment System
See wet well levels, pump sequencing, force main pressures, and clarifier performance in one live schematic. Simulate what-if scenarios before making operational changes.
How It Works
From raw sensor data to full-plant simulation and automated compliance reporting.
Connect
Plug into existing SCADA, PLCs, and analyzers via Modbus, OPC UA, or MQTT. Flow meters, level sensors, DO probes, online analyzers — use your existing instrumentation.
Model
Physics engines model the entire treatment train: pump curves, clarifier loading, aeration kinetics, filter headloss, and UV dose-response. Real process engineering, not just trend lines.
Comply
Real-time permit parameter tracking against NPDES limits. Auto-generated DMRs, exceedance alerts before violations occur, and audit-ready compliance history.
What You Can Simulate
Every scenario an operations manager or compliance officer worries about — tested safely on the digital twin.
What if a pump trips?
Simulate lead pump failure and see how lag/standby pumps respond, how fast the wet well rises, and whether capacity holds.
Storm event planning
Model 10-year storm inflow and test whether current pump capacity and storage prevent SSO events.
VFD speed optimization
Find the optimal VFD frequency that balances flow demand with energy cost across different demand periods.
Effluent quality prediction
Model how clarifier loading changes affect TSS and BOD in effluent before adjusting RAS rates.
Maintenance window impact
Take a pump offline in the model and see if remaining capacity handles projected inflow during the maintenance window.
Capacity planning
Project growth scenarios and identify when existing infrastructure reaches capacity limits.
Blower failure impact
Simulate losing an aeration blower and see how DO drops, nitrification degrades, and effluent NH3 approaches permit limits.
UV bank offline
Take a UV bank offline for maintenance and verify remaining capacity maintains required dose for E. coli compliance.
Filter backwash timing
Optimize backwash frequency: too often wastes water and energy, too infrequent risks breakthrough and permit exceedance.
Permit exceedance prediction
Get hours-ahead warnings when any parameter trends toward its NPDES daily maximum, with recommended corrective actions.
Wet weather bypass
Model when to open the wet weather bypass and verify blending calculations keep effluent within permit limits.
Chemical dose optimization
Optimize polymer, alum, or ferric chloride dosing rates based on real-time loading to minimize chemical costs.
SCADA vs. Digital Twin
SCADA shows you what happened. A digital twin shows you what will happen — and whether it will violate your permit.
