Xylem Vue’s Plant Management application for wastewater utilities

Wastewater treatment systems are under pressure as a result of increasing regulatory and discharge requirements, the need to reduce energy and chemical costs, and the necessary upkeep for aging facilities. As a result, wastewater treatment plants must find the balance between optimizing operational and capital costs while ensuring appropriate effluent quality levels and limiting the environmental impact of their activities.

The operation must also anticipate and prevent untreated water discharges as much as possible while being transparent and in compliance with regulatory authorities. Xylem Vue's Plant Management application helps utilities tackle these challenges.

The application provides predictions and operational suggestions through real-time process monitoring and the integration and analysis of all relevant information, including LIMS, SCADA, CMMS, GIS, and meteorological data, to create a single integrated view of the operational reality of the utility’s wastewater treatment infrastructure.

In addition, utilities can automatically adjust processes, generate alarms, and work orders, and produce custom reports, all using algorithmic models. Plant Management helps utilities to provide premium quality treated water while reducing operational costs and minimizing environmental impact.
