ABOUT TRANSCEND WATER
Transcend helps equipment suppliers and engineers streamline their proposal and preliminary design processes to win more projects, increase margins, and keep overhead costs low.
Transcend uses a cloud based platform, the Transcend Design Generator (TDG), to automate engineering grade designs and documents and deliver high quality proposals in a fraction of the time and cost.
TDG has been used to design over 7,000 WWTP's and their associated equipment - including Activated Sludge, MBR, MBBR, and MBBR-IFAS.

VIDEOS AND PODCASTS
-
Adam Tank explains how Transcend is "making waves" in the water industry with their design automation technology.
-
Over the past decade, water treatment consulting jobs have become much harder. The reasons are complex. As explained in the video below, the challenges fall into 3 buckets: Aging workforce and difficulty in transferring/retaining knowledge; More demanding clients in an 'instant' economy; Increased workloads - often at cost or non-cost recoverable.
-
The new user interface for the Transcend Design Generator we’ve developed now allows non-experts to map their site and enter basic information. The software can make complex decisions that result in a complete project design engineering package.
-
Learn how Artificial Intelligence can create a complete Process Scheme for your custom wastewater treatment plant project by using Transcend Design Generator.
-
Take an in-depth look at Transcend Design Generator's P&ID process for a CAS (conventional activated sludge) wastewater treatment plant.
-
See this demo video about the output documents included in the Transcend Design Generator.
-
See what input parameters are required to create a custom wastewater treatment plant design with the Transcend Design Generator.
-
See our demo video about how you can start your own custom wastewater treatment plant design by Transcend Design Generator.

Transcend Design Generator Data Flow overview by Ari Raivetz, CEO of Transcend.
-
Early in his career, Ari Raivetz, Founder and CEO of Transcend, worked on Wall Street financing fracking operations. He saw the impact of those operations on one of our most precious resources, water. Today he’s building tech solutions for engineering firms, utilities, and technology suppliers and designing critical infrastructure, starting with the wastewater industry. In this episode, Dawn Lippert, Elemental’s CEO, and Kim Baker, Elemental’s Director of Water Innovation, talk with Ari about his journey to climate tech.
-
Ari Raivetz is Chairman and CEO of Transcend, an incredibly innovative company that provides software to automate any vertical asset's preliminary engineering.
-
Every year, $17B is spent on design engineering with a large percentage spent on the human capital involved in creating repetitive preliminary designs. In this Era of Automation Startup Hustle interview, Ari Raivetz, Transcend Water’s CEO, explains how automating boring, preliminary design work is transforming the engineering world.

Technology can make, or break, the engineering firm of the future. And by the time this future rolls around (hint: it’s here) it’s too late to play ‘catch up.’
-
This transcript of a recorded conversation between Nikolett Szilagyi, Process Engineer, and Adam Tank, Chief Customer Officer at Transcend, involves making sense of a term called fractionation -- an important part of designing biological wastewater treatment plants.
-
Learn what Transcend is doing in upcoming weeks to improve user experience and recap some of the things they've done in recent past.
-
Explore a few real-world examples of firms who have successfully adopted Transcend tools and can answer the question -- so I've designed a treatment plant, now what?
-
The Transcend Design Generator helped Stanley Consultants to automatically ascertain the appropriate sizing requirements for a new Flow Equalization Basin and an extension to the existing Aerobic Digester.
-
The Transcend Design Generator (TDG) now has the capability to design facilities with biological phosphorus removal! We’d like to highlight some details about the background calculations – this is going to be the first post of our “What’s in the black-box?” series.
-
“Establish a Remote Company Culture” is a stated company goal at Transcend. We are a fully remote workforce and it’s not a requirement to go inside the office – so although we enjoy the comfort of our homes, it also creates some challenges for team building, onboarding, and others that need to be paid close attention to.
-
In the academic world, Engineering and Science are tightly coupled. Scientific truths form the basis of engineering knowledge and professors teach the scientific method to hone skills aimed at solving any problem – from ‘how to cook a juicier steak’ to ‘how to engineer reusable rockets for increasing the accessibility of space travel.’
-
I wanted to be part of the digital transformation of the water sector because I had experienced firsthand the massive impact that even basic smart systems could have on a utility that was depending on manual monitoring.
-
As a former utility engineering project manager, I understand the difficulty in planning large projects that span multiple years in the context of a capital budget.
-
From now on, Transcend Design Generator supports already existing screening and grit removal on plant extensions.
-
TDG recently reviewed some new features that enable the configuration of flow diversions.
-
Seeing 100,000 of my closest water friends buzz around buildings upon buildings of water & wastewater treatment was eye-opening and I can’t wait for the next IFAT.
-
As a young woman of color in the water industry, I wanted to dive deeper into the current state of affairs, both in water and in the general workforce. As an industry, we have a long way to go.
-
Let’s walk through how engineering firms and asset owners are using BIM in real life to improve their business position – using an imaginary interview of a forward-thinking Civil Engineer at a design expo:
-
Why should you consider sequence batch reactors for your next wastewater treatment project? Improvements in equipment and technology, especially in aeration devices and computer control systems, have made SBRs a viable choice again.
-
Hiring, onboarding, and training new employees can be a daunting undertaking, especially when it comes to junior engineers. Now there is a tool to improve outcomes, reducing the learning curve, and assist in junior engineer development.
-
With manual design methods utilities can only assess a small selection of options when preparing for a rate case.
-
When undertaking any new venture or revising a plan of action, it is important first to identify the uncertainties and potential pitfalls. By understanding the potential trouble issues, you can better set realistic goals and manage expectations around project time and budgets, software selection, and design flows.
-
EBPR plants often don’t achieve consistent, reliable performance because of the chemical additions needed to achieve effluent P limits. This, however, nullifies the EBPR advantages. You can now improve design of mainstream EBPR.
