Digital solutions for water utilities
We have helped optimising, (re)designing and digitalising over 150 treatment plants using our globally unique modelling solutions. We are working with world's leading utilities.
How we help water utilities worldwide
Water utilities worldwide have to cope with unprecedented change.
- Challenges include more stringent regulation, climate change mitigation and adaptation and experience drain.
- Technological opportunities include artificial intelligence, mature modelling tools, unprecedented computing power.
Our mission is to turn digitalisation from a hype into a sustainable trend by matching technological solutions with the most pressing needs such as
- making optimal use of existing treatment infrastructure,
- meeting new regulatory requirements,
- advanced treatment and reuse and
- greenhouse gas quantification and mitigation
Enhancing efficiency and precision in treatment design
AM-Team collaborates with engineering firms globally by integrating advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and biokinetic modelling into their projects. We are involved in some of world's largest projects.
We have developed a library of globally unique treatment models for process engineering, design and optimisation. These tools help engineers design more efficient and effective systems while gaining speed and lowering design risk.
Driving innovation with advanced modeling and simulation
AM-Team helps numerous technology vendors with accelerating product development, optimizing products and aid commercialisation. Our CFD and biokinetic models allow vendors to gain competitive edge in the market through speed, performance and differentiation. Most of these projects are highly confidential.
Virtual prototyping and scale-up
We have helped numerous technology companies with model-based design, which saves signficant development resources. In addition, our virtual scale-up framework using industry's most realistic models is a game changer in tech development and commercialisation. For several customers, we have shortened time to market with several years.
We assist throughout the various stages
1. Planning
Virtual piloting and virtual technology assessment prevent or reduce onsite piloting efforts.
2. Smart design
Our virtual process design ensures optimal and long-term performance of long-living infrastructure.
3. Smart operation
We facilitate smart operation through digital twins.
4. Accelerated training
We offer models that unlock virtual training - a true gamechanger
5. Digital roadmapping
Utilities rely on our international experience to shape and implement short- and long-term digital roadmaps.
Virtual design and optimisation with Digital Twins
The interest in digital twin technology in the water industry is growing exponentially. Our solutions allow engineering firms to also integrate digital twin solutions into their offerings. We are known for world's most realistic treatment-level digital twins with minimal recalibration/ training requirements.
Maximizing efficiency and compliance with advanced modelling
In the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry, we optimize 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. We help industries to virtually assess upgrades and stress-test current assets. Our models are tailored to the complex industrial water matrices.

“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
How do we work with AM-Team?
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.
How does AM-Team differentiate itself in the competitive market?
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
What is the key value you offer to your customers?
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.
How much onsite work is needed when we rely on your solutions?
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.
