WaterSPOT - Simulator for Proactive Operator Training, Process Optimisation and Education
WaterSPOT: Simulator for Proactive Operator Training, Process Optimisation and Education.
WaterSPOT is the world’s only drinking
water simulator - used for operator training, process optimisation and
education. Tested at several drinking water
companies in the Netherlands, it combines state-of-the-art water quality
and quantity models to deliver accurate results.
Two Versions : International and Custom
The International Simulator contains a model of a generic purifcation plant, complete with
all the processes commonly found in (international) water purification plants. It is an ideal tool with which to gain, maintain and extend knowledge and skills in typical purification processes - such as filtration, aeration and chlorine dosing. Operators benefit from knowledge gained from use of the simulator, because it forces them to think “beyond the
buttons”, and get a better grip on the process. The International Simulator
is well suited to (academic) educational purposes, and is available at an attractive price. There are also special licenses available for educational institutions . Read more on the International Simulator
page.
The Custom Simulator contains a validated model of a specific
purification plant. If the purification steps are available in the process
library, any plant can be modeled. Models may built either by the customer, or by UReason. Existing models, if qualified, can be
reused by the WaterSPOT Simulator. The control strategy is modelled to allow end-users to test
current and future controls for chemical dosings. The level of detail for the Custom Simulator and functionality imay be extended on customer request. Read more on the Custom Simulator Page.
Optimisation
The WaterSPOT Simulator is used to optimise your plant
by analysing effluent qualities. The simulator provides detailed information about the state
of (sub) processes, and generates reports for later review. It also provides faceplates to control chemical dosing. Combining these with detailed information about the customer's process, can facilitate improvements that lead to less chemical use and better (more
stable) effluent quality. More information on optimisation may found on the Features page.
Training
The WaterSPOT Simulator employs an easy-to-understand
interface based on industry -standard SCADA interfaces. Operators
will quickly feel at home. On the other hand, they will be forced to think about the way processes work, because they cannot just rely on pressing button A or B,
they will need to understand the underlying mechanism.
