Veolia Water Technologies AQUAVISTA Plant

Veolia Water Technologies has launched AQUAVISTA Plant, a digital solution composed of a suite of intelligent software solutions for real-time optimisation of process performance. It provides a state-of-the-art autopilot to optimise the whole wastewater system, including sewer network and treatment plant. AQUAVISTA Plant focuses on real-time automated optimisation of the consumption of energy and chemicals, biological and hydraulic capacity enhancement, stable operation and compliance of wastewater treatment plants and sewer networks. It is suitable for small and large municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants.

More than 50 features are available, from activated sludge, biofilter, MBBR, UASB and physical/chemical processes to anaerobic digesters, anammox processes and sewer networks. Depending on the number of installed features, AQUAVISTA Plant analyses several sensor measurements in real time and, based on a holistic analysis across all the data collected, will make optimised set-points available in real time for all parts of the wastewater treatment plant or the sewer network. With combined optimisation, the wastewater treatment plant and the sewer network can perform as one integrated treatment system, for the maximum benefit of the environment and the treatment costs.

AQUAVISTA Plant is claimed to provide from 20% to 50% in overall OPEX savings, up to 40% more biological and up to 100% more hydraulic capacity, improved effluent quality at the wastewater treatment plant as well as a reduction of combined sewer overflows.
