Wastewater Collection
Managers and operators of wastewater collection systems need to optimize capital works programs, while taking into account inflow and infiltration reduction and storage and pump capacities, against a typical backdrop of demanding environmental legislation. This is an area that equals the availability of clean drinking water as a highly visible community issue.
Optimatics has expertise and experience in optimizing both the planning and operation of wastewater collection systems to help you make the best decisions for your community. Using our range of optimization technologies, we combine engineering analysis with powerful computing tools to help you make faster, better, sustainable decisions on collection system management.
Using an optimized system, you can now:
- Minimize or even eliminate overflow events
- Optimize surcharge levels
- Determine how best to transfer, treat or attenuate peak flow events
- Reduce the costs associated with upgrading collection systems
- Augment your system to meet new environmental regulations
- Design for growth
- Determine location and size of treatment plants for water recycling.
Optimatics provides rapid analysis of the available options for managing and optimizing your wastewater collection system. Some of the typical objectives you may address include:
- Facility Planning to pinpoint the most cost-effective way to address system design criteria. Any facility that can be simulated in a traditional hydraulic model (such as EPA-SWMM) is a candidate
- Preliminary Design to serve as a "value engineering" tool, using planning models to confirm design concept and maximize value
- Operational Evaluations to identify optimal strategies for real-time control, system rehabilitation (I/I reduction), pump operation, storage volume utilization, and diversion structure configuration to ensure maximum flows to treatment plants during dry and wet weather - at minimum cost.
