Proactive Drinking Water Simulator for Operational Training | Why Waterspot?

Waterspot offers a comprehensive drinking water treatment operation simulator for proactive operations and training. With model-based processes and advanced control features, it optimizes water quality and production capacity. The project is co-funded by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and involves nine partners, including Dutch water supply companies. Waterspot integrates hydraulic models, process models, and control models to provide a realistic training environment for operation supervisors. For more information, visit www.waterspot.nl.

  8. Why Waterspot? The need for well-trained supervisors will stay… Picture: Alex van Delft DSM

  9. Why Waterspot? … or even increase in the next ten years as a consequence of ageing. Picture: Alex van Delft DSM

  10. Why Waterspot? Summary • Offline • Training and testing of operation supervisors in company look & feel • Model-based process (control) optimisation • Open the use of process models to a wider group • Virtual commissioning of software updates • Online • Advanced process-control to delay investments in production capacity, and to obtain a more stable water quality • Alerts on malfunctioning online measurements
