Waste Water Treatment Design Tool Available on The Water Network
ZURICH and PRINCETON, N.J. – AquaSPE AG from Zurich Switzerland announced today access to an open source Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) design tool and WWTP knowledge sharing community on The Water Network.
WWTPs are complex. “To get a traditional activated sludge design can take months and cost tens of thousands of dollars. This makes it difficult to innovate and compare technologies,” says Trudi Schifter CEO of AquaSPE.
The Water Network is dedicated to driving the innovation of Waste Water Treatment solutions. We are delighted to announce the new Design Generator as a free cloud service built for both non-technical and technical professionals. The Tool generates preliminary engineering design documents for conventional Activated Sludge WWTPs that includes an Equipment List, Process Flow and Site Plan within hours instead of weeks. Developed over three years by a consortium of experienced design engineering firms, the tool has already helped thousands of utilities, construction companies, city planners, real estate developers, and design engineers.
“We are excited to make this valuable tool available in order to help drive innovation in the water sector,” says Schifter. “We operate the largest network for global water professionals reaching circa 400,000 professionals representing over 10,000 organizations,” she continues. “After extensive research we chose this tool due to the comprehensive analytics and ability to integrate it into our platform in a seamless user-friendly way for our members.”
“The industry scope of The Water Network is unparalleled,” adds Ari Raivetz, CEO of wwtpdesigns.com. “The ability to quickly submit a design for a specific population, nutrient removal and geography is critical to provide meaningful results. We are excited that this tool is now available on The Water Network and that Plant designers have a place to share their challenges and case studies.”
All organizations with a need for a new or expanded WWTP are encouraged to join the WWTP Design Community, discover insights from their peers and run their own design(s) via this new free service.
