• Ohio Utility Collaborates With Xylem To Upgrade Outdated Lift Station

  Discover how a design-build project provided a turnkey solution in quick fashion. 

• Leveraging Their Hydraulic Model With Asset Management Data, WSSC Strategic Asset Planning Delivers A Transparent, Unified Approach

  The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) has adopted the use of Optimatics' Optimizer platform in its Asset Management Program decision making process. WSSC is leveraging algorithms, intelligent automation, and the computational cloud provided by Optimizer to simultaneously balance risk, cost, and hydraulic performance objectives for mains renewal alternative options.

• Filter Membrane Predictive Maintenance

  At manufacturing operations using ultrafiltration systems, the ultrafiltration membranes are used for numerous batches without replacement, using Clean-In-Place (CIP) operations in between batches to maintain filter performance. However, ineffective CIP cycles or long-term fouling or degradation of the filter membrane can result in increased cycle times to move the desired amount of product through the filter, lost yield as the product is unable to permeate the filter, or poor product quality as membrane failure may occur.

• On The Rise: Quality Of Water, Quality Of Life — From Northeast U.S. To Central Africa

  Bbanda is a small rural village of about 1,100 people in southern central Uganda, located 45 minutes from the closest town of Mityana. There is no electricity or reliable source of drinking water. But thanks to the work of some engineering students, that’s about to change.

• Coal Yard Runoff Compliance Using Actiflo® Technology

  Storm water runoff from a 37-acre coal storage yard utilized as part of daily operations at an industrial site in Southwestern Pennsylvania posed a problem when the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) updated the facility’s NPDES permit.

• Taking Sustainability Into Account, United Utilities In The UK Identifies Combined Solutions Of Both Traditional And SuDS Strategies To Resolve Flooding

  United Utilities (UU) partnered with Optimatics to develop a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) Optimization process for flood reduction using the Optimizer platform. They used Optimizer to identify the best overall combination of SuDS conveyance, and storage strategies to solve flooding problems for a wide range of potential scenarios. UU sought to understand the optimal solution between full flooding resolution and partial flooding resolution for a 10-, 20-, and 30-year event, testing SuDS cost sensitivities to measure the impact of a sustainable investment.

• Data Center Water Sustainability And Stewardship

  The data center industry is uniquely positioned to develop innovative solutions that drive collective action for meaningful water stewardship.

• Drainage System Servicing The Western Suburbs Of Paris Predicts 14% Reduction In CSOs

  Optimatics teamed with SUEZ SEVESC, to reduce the frequency and severity of combined sewer overflow (CSO) events in Western Paris. This optimization effort focused on determining optimal modifications to existing CSO control structures, in order to reduce CSOs across the western Paris network. The investigation focused on low cost intervention options.

• Precise Biogas Flow Measurement

  As oil prices remain high, we are in the midst of a nation-wide initiative to seek renewable sources of energy to increase energy efficiency and energy security. Renewable energy accounted for 13.2% of the domestically produced electricity in 2012. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas.
