Product Overview
In North America, many drinking water treatment plants determine their CT requirements using worst-case month or even annual PH, Temp, and flow rate values. This results in costly disinfectant overdosing and the formation of unnecessary and dangerous disinfection by-products (DBPs).
ODM (Online Disinfection Manager) was developed by Hydromantis Inc., to give plant operations staff a tool to allow them to better manage the operation of their facility and thus provide safer drinking water with minimum DBPs. ODM automatically calculates the right concentration of chemical dosage required for current conditions using real-time data. ODM utilizes WatPro linked with online sensors to provide real-time tracking of disinfection performance. Plant operations staff utilize output from ODM predictions to help optimize chemical dosage.
Success Stories
Recent success at the City of Toronto Horgan treatment plant demonstrated ODM could save significant chemical costs and help maintain safe drinking water quality. The Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) verified its ability as a tool to optimize plant operations at Horgan.
Features
- Turnkey installation by Hydromantis (configure WATPRO with plant-specific site data, interface with SCADA online sensors and tag names, investigate optimization strategies, integrate with existing systems, provide training and ongoing technical support, allow access to Hydromantis drinking water specialists).
- Reflects Industry Best Practices
- Automatically calculates DBP residual and suggests correct dose as a function of plant variables (Ph, temp, flow, disinfection concentration)
- Allows offline analysis of plant optimization options
- Allows plant staff to see CT and Giardia/virus inactivation immediately
