VEOLIA WATER TECHNOLOGIES has launched
AQUAVISTA Plant, a holistic digital solution
composed of a suite of intelligent software
solutions for real-time optimisation of
process performance. It provides a stateof-the-art
auto-pilot 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.
REAL-TIME PERFORMANCE
OPTIMISATION
More than 50 features are available today,
from activated sludge, Biofilter, MBBR, UASB,
and even anaerobic digesters, anammox
processes and sewer networks – making it
the most comprehensive digital offer for the
water industry.
AQUAVISTA Plant can analyse 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 and sewer network.
“The operator will still be in control of the
operation since he is the one who defines
the strategy according to what AQUAVISTA
Plant has to optimise,” Aude Giard, Chief
Digital Officer at Veolia Water Technologies,
explained.
IMPROVED OPERATION, REDUCED
COSTS
AQUAVISTA Plant is currently implemented
across several countries with hundreds
of wastewater treatment plants already
connected and benefiting overall OPEX
savings, more hydraulic capacity, improved
effluent quality at the wastewater treatment
plant, and a reduction of combined sewer
overflows (CSOs).
“As a manager of a utility, AQUAVISTA Plant
lets me know what we get for our money and
how we are performing, helping us lower the
costs of our operations,” said Per Holm, CEO
of BlueKolding.
“The fact that it is a cloud-based solution
means that our data security is on a very high
level and that’s very important to us.”
MAXIMUM SECURITY
Data security is ensured according to the
AQUAVISTA Digital Platform security
practices, covering various levels of data
management. Cloud security is ensured
by secure communication through
encryption and certificates, rolebased
user access, and strictly
one-way communication
from the plant to the cloud.
WWA
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.
