How can we reduce the risk of pollution and operational costs at Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW) with a digital twin?

This years work in a week (YWIW) is taking place at Newcastle Racecourse 11 - 13 July |
During this year’s worth of work in week, we will use digital twin modelling technology created in collaboration with Siemens to:
- Map the use cases for how NWG staff could use a real-time digital twin to optimise the WWTW process. (As a waste water plant operator I want to ensure I always operate within my compliance limits to reduce the risk of pollution. As a the waste water plant manager I want to minimise my energy costs. As a maintenance technician I want to ensure I plan my maintenance activities at the appropriate time to manage risk).
- Estimate the value (CAPEX and OPEX) and benefits to pollution reduction from using an optimisation tool. Value will be ascribed to each use case, based on those that NWG staff judge as the most important.
- Assess the feasibility and technical and economic viability of applying this digital twin approach to an actual NWG WWTW.
Come and join us to see how this digital twin can lower energy costs and lower the risk of non-compliance.
