Water & utilities can represent a single pumping station or water systems for a region or even an entire country, such as the case in
island countries. These systems can have multiple types of producers (e.g., desalination plants, water reservoirs, and water wells) and a variety of consumers (e.g., industrial, commercial, and residential). S&C’s OptiRamp Water & Utilities Solutions solve the total value stream with a dynamic hydraulic model to optimize water production, transportation, and distribution while minimizing costs.
OptiRamp excels at helping our customers make the best possible decisions about their water utility systems, especially in cases where water availability is scarce and where producing water is expensive. OptiRamp helps to keep water facilities and infrastructure reliable and resilient.
OptiRamp provides effective management of wastewater collection and water distribution systems. VTS collects data to one common database from multiple sources within a water district including:
- Meter reading systems
- Laboratory Information Management system
- Power monitoring systems, and others. Web Analytics presents monitoring, diagnostics, analytics, notifications and status displays.
Online Advanced Control:
- Provides continuous information from remote facilities.
- Assist in achieving optimal operation by tracking energy usage and providing suggested set points to save energy while maintaining the required throughput and safe operation
- Improve process stability, allowing operation closer to target, constraints, and optimal values
- Support operator decisions by providing actionable data
- Monitor and predict system flows
- Create dynamic key performance indicators (KPIs)
Material Balance Reconciliation Module provides a mechanism for water distribution process performance analysis.
- Reconciliation is the process of adjusting the measurements subject to their inherent uncertainty to close the constraints.
- The process measurements usually contain substantial systematic errors.
- Module allows delivering more accurate information than the initial measurement.
- This approach allows to detect abnormal values and to reduce errors due to the sampling and the measurement.
- Material Balance Reconciliation Module gives customer the tools to address leakage and non-revenue water.
