Quick Scan Quick Scan
Quick Scan

Quick Scan: (8 to 12 hours)

  1. General data on build and tankage required with average quality of feed and effluent

  2. An Activated Sludge Model will be used to calibrate the plant. Partial digital twin.

  3. Customers expectations will be tested against calibrated model

  4. Recommendations will be made.

  5. A small report of technical note will be produced

  6. Based on complexity 100 to 125£/hour (120-145euro/h)

Audit or Plant Assessment: (40 to 60 hours)

  1. As above to establish a calibrated model. More operational data is required

  2. More details of the installed equipment are required

  3. The trends are analysed with focus on DWF and RWF transition for municipal systems. Industrial plants will focus on peak loads and buffering capacity.

  4. A more detailed map can be made of energy consumption, chemical consumption and potential operational cost savings.

  5. Potential capacity expansion will be addressed 

  6. Potential N2O readiness can be explored if enough Nitrogen quality data is provided

  7. Sludge production can be addressed and biomass and separation processes addressed.

  8. Sludge dewatering may be addressed if deemed critical KPI

  9. An audit is per operational configuration. If plant has several independent technologies running as a whole the audit needs to stretch to all biological configurations. E.g. A German plant had an old 1960 filter-bed system, a 1985 Barden-pho system and a 2004 MUCT process.

  10. A full report is produced and recommendations are made.

  11. This report is essential to help the AI digital twin process and potential operational optimisation. It defines critical plant equipment for AI modelling and gives an idea of potential impact.

Full System Appraisal Full System Appraisal
Full System Appraisal

Full system Appraisal Audit: (120-160 hours) (Feasibility Study)

  1. As Audit above but considerably further in-depth analysis over historical and present time data. 

  2. This appraisal is best applied to potential retrofit plants where massive capital expenditure could be avoided for a Green-field site. Here alternative configuration and other technologies are investigated to get the maximum performance out of the existing structures and equipment.

  3. Highly advanced techniques are used in this assessment such as Potential AI buffering, AI network assessment, Membrane separation, polishing and any potential ideas the customer wishes to explore.

  4. Renewables and Net-zero can be addressed and full energy and mass balances made.

  5. The report would highlight potential infrastructure maximisation to deliver the quality required by the client. Costing can be addressed as a rough estimation.

  6. This appraisal requires more information from the client and certainly more dialogue. 

  7. This Full System Appraisal FSA: Can be used to cost a detailed design.

  8. This type of report is often used by the clients management to make a strategic decision on capital investment or operational prolongation based on hydraulic or load expansion.

Engineering Design:

  1. P&IDs and GA drawings can be produced using AutoCad but these are not part of an Audit or an Appraisal.

  2. Detailed P&IDs range from 30 to 100 hours (configuration dependent)

  3. General arrangement rough designs between 80 and 200 hours (configuration dependent)

  4. Full design data in report
