Water treatment process design, optimisation and digitalisation for water utilities

Water treatment train design and operation is a balancing act that needsto consider process Efficiency and Effluent quality. Recently, also process Emissions came to the forefront. The combination of those variables is what we like to call the ‘3E concept’.

We help water utilities achieving the following goals:

  • Designing and operating for an optimal balancebetween Effluent quality, process Efficiency and process Emissions.

  • Accelerating short- and long-term decision makingin a context of fast change, including climate change and emerging contaminants.

  • Accelerating technology implementation throughvirtual piloting.

  • Curing the people bottleneck through fast andefficient training and knowledge storage using the power of modern simulationmodels and tools.

  • Digital roadmapping: how to make digitalisationtangible, valuable and digestible?

Enhancing industrial processes with advanced moddeling

Advanced modelling offerssignificant value to the process industry as it allows to maximise processoutput and efficiency, while minimising environmental impact. We use advancedCFD and kinetic models to optimize a multitude of industrial productionprocesses.

Maximizing efficiency and compliance with advanced modelling

AM Team works with water companies  to optimize and digitalise their treatment processes using a smart combination of ‘knowledge-driven’ tools such as advanced CFD and biokinetic models and ‘data-driven’ tools such as artificial intelligence and statistical models. These tools provide detailed insights into the behaviour of water treatment systems under various conditions, helping industries to stress-test and optimize their operations, improve efficiency, minimise carbon footprint and ensure compliance with water quality standards.

We have worked at over 150 treatment plants and have over 50 utility customers spread across the globe. We work in (large) project consortia, or are contracted directly by utilities.

Optimizing reuse systems with digital twins

Digital twin technology allows for the real-time monitoring and optimisation of water reuse systems. These systems come with specific challenges such as the removal of trace organic contaminants and high chemical and energy demands. We virtually test different design and operational strategies and predict components that cannot be measured based on what can be measured. This approach minimizes risks, environmental footprint and costs.

Our approach

AM Team develops its own models to provide specific solutions in the drinking water industry.

“It saves time, effort and cost overall. The time to set up a trial, run it and have meaningful data can take a lot of effort. By modelling the trial, we realized that none of the options would have worked for us and we needed to look at alternatives.”

Frequently asked questions

Working with AM-Team can take multiple forms, depending on your objectives and challenges. Our modelling services, support and strategic consulancy can take the form of projects or long-term service contracts. Our digital solutions such as digital twins take the form of software licensing and service agreements. With end users such as utilities or industry, we either work directly or in partnership / consortia with other companies.

AM-Team's core uniqueness is the combination of international industry understanding, treatment process expertise and leading-edge modelling and digitalisation skills. Throughout the years we have evolved from a modelling company to a strategic digitalisation and implementation partner. We combine internationally recognised expertise in knowledge-driven (mechanistic) modelling with data-driven approaches (statistics, ML, ...). AM-Team has developed a library of globally unique and patented mechanistic models that target big challenges in the water and environmental industry. Our solutions have been implemented at over 150 facilities in 4 continents.

We offer value throughout the various stages of planning, design, operation and training and also provide strategic input to digitalisation roadmaps. Main value attributes (often combined in one case) are significant time and cost savings, improved process performance and efficiency, reduction of carbon footrpint, better, faster and future-proof decision making, improved communication and faster training.

Our digital solutions are designed for minimal onsite work or intervention. We immediately start providing value based on data or information that already exists. Only if necessary, additional data collection or testing will be needed. For our digital twin solutions, our application partners can minimise implementation burden.
