As the day-to-day operation of water and wastewater plants becomes more technologically advanced, operating systems need to follow suit while still allowing operators to have uncomplicated control. The Aquavista digital service platform for water and wastewater facilities from Veolia Water Technologies does just that, as it is designed to provide a flexible range of customized digital solutions, helping personnel efficiently run their plants.

The technology aggregates data from multiple systems that can then be enriched through a suite of intelligent water process applications and algorithms. All features are available to operators in real time in the form of a dashboard overview that helps personnel make sound business decisions for their plant.

“It’s an integrated range of digital services that enable utilities and industries to remotely and constantly monitor and diagnose problems, prioritize, and manage maintenance issues and use data to optimize all aspects of the treatment plant,” says Aquavista Business Development Director Dr. Veronique Bourgier. “The platform has been developed and designed by treatment experts, and we believe it is the most advanced cloud-based solution on the market today.”

The digital service platform can help improve asset performance and efficiency; reduce costs for operations, capital, maintenance, chemicals and energy; enable an overview of a plant and equipment from remote locations; and optimize efficiency through faster response to events and proactive intervention.

“Aquavista can be implemented for a single technology, a range of equipment, or for the complete industrial or municipal water or wastewater treatment plant,” Bourgier says. “It is embedded in Veolia’s standard water technologies and can be integrated in all our projects and also with our operations and maintenance contracts. It can, as such, be implemented as a service at any existing plant incorporating Veolia technologies as well as non-Veolia technologies.”

In addition, the technology can minimize environmental impacts and promote sustainability, increase safety by leveraging predictive analytics, promote security and reliability through use of an advanced and cloud-based system, provide flexibility through an intuitive dashboard adapted to users’ needs and specifications, and enable monitoring multiple sites anywhere and anytime through a single secure portal. It is designed with web security as one of the main priorities, with device and network security being fully integrated at every level within the framework of the solution. 800-337-0777; www.veoliawatertech.com
