Drinking water treatment systems utilize chemical coagulants to assist in mitigating turbidity from surface source waters. In most cases, coagulant consumption is the largest operating cost within a facility. Over the past few years, coagulant prices have increased significantly, putting pressure on utilities to look for ways to reduce chemical consumption. Coagulants rely on certain conditions to perform, namely particle charge, pH, water temperature, turbidity, and organic level. However, the technology to optimize chemical performance is lacking in this industry.

Eighty-five percent of the U.S. has hard water, characterized by a high concentration of calcium and magnesium ions.1 This means 85% of the nation’s population must use more time and cleaning solution to achieve the same results the other 15% have no trouble with. From hand-washing to laundry, hard water takes its toll in more ways than one. Dry skin, cloudy dishes, and higher maintenance on industrial appliances are just a few of the many effects hard water has.

Effectively managing hundreds of thousands of miles of sewer network is not an enviable task. And with ever changing industry regulation, stricter statutory targets, additional compliance, and a growing abundance of technology, that task could easily be regarded as insurmountable. How can you ever know exactly what’s going on throughout your entire network? It’s impossible. Or is it?

Two wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) in Texas needed hydraulic model assessments. Plant managers needed to ensure their facilities could maintain water flows running at their current capacity and determine whether or not improvements were required. Here are the modeling challenges Freese and Nichols successfully overcome using InfoWorks ICM, ultimately providing finer plans and options for their clients to make confident choices

Managing pH in wastewater treatment is a crucial undertaking for water utilities. Solid contaminants often receive more attention, as they're more obvious threats, but sub-optimal pH levels can be dangerous, too.
