EVS Water
EVS Water goes global with new customers
in Australia, Asia, Europe and the US.
EVS Water is expected to reach its initial
commercial objective of achieving US$1
million in total sales, Envirosuite announced.
The Australian software company further
identified a $2.8 billion annual global market
opportunity for EVS Water, following recent
wins in Europe, the US, Australia and
Singapore which thus affirms that EVS Water
has a market offering with its IP, supported by
Envirosuite’s operational reach and existing
customer base across more than 40 countries.
Launched in 2021, EVS Water is a process
simulation software for water treatment plant
modelling, concept design or predictive
compliance. One solution it comprises is
the EVS Water Plant Optimiser software.
Through the outputs of its machinelearning
and deterministic modelling, the
cloud-based solution helps its industry
customers reduce the two highest costs in
water treatment and delivery – electricity
and chemicals. In doing so, Plant Optimiser
can decrease the collateral environmental
footprints of its users’ operations.
Another solution offered under EVS Water is
the SeweX software, which is an advanced
The commercial proposition of EVS Water,
according to Envirosuite, is that the user’s
cost of deployment is more than offset
financially by productivity gains as well as
substantially extending the life of water
assets through reduced chemical strain
that delays the capital cost of upgrade and
replacement. Users of EVS Water have
also pointed out that climate impact and
reporting is a major driver for deploying the
software to reduce electricity consumption
and the associated emissions.
RECENT WINS FOR EVS WATER
Australia
In an initial pilot project for Water
Corporation, the principal supplier of water,
wastewater and drainage services to over
2 million Western Australians, EVS Water
successfully delivered value creation for all

could potentially take the total to seven with
further sites anticipated.
Asia
PUB, Singapore’s national water agency
operating under the Ministry of Sustainability
and the Environment, manages the
republic’s water supply, water catchment
and used water in an integrated way. The
city-state uses 430 million gallons of water
daily, and PUB has been ensuring that
this water is captured, safe to use and
adequately supplied.
EVS Water Optimiser will be used to help
PUB determine the required coagulant
dosage in water treatment processes
that will make the process faster, more
connected and automated.
