Equipment performance assumptions
These are entered engineering assumptions, not manufacturer guarantees. Replace them with site test data or verified vendor data for final design.
Equipment selection — select what is actually installed
Process Intelligence calculates each active technology separately and shows energy, polymer, cake production and cost. It does not assume that a technology is present just because it exists in the database.
Decanter duty selection
Decanter — Thickening
High automation
High capture
Energy: medium/high
Decanter — Dewatering
Cake TS driven
Polymer commonly used
Energy: high
Decanter — Thickening + Dewatering
Scenario analysis
Requires actual process basis
Technology comparison
DAF process
DAF calculated consumption
DAF is treated as a real process step. Its recycle flow, pump/compressor energy, coagulant, polymer and sludge production are included in the plant-wide annual balance.
Chemical consumption
Energy model
Hauling, disposal and O&M
Process Intelligence
The point is not just to calculate. Process Intelligence turns plant data into a simple engineering picture: what the plant consumes, where the money goes, which process step is driving the result, and what should be investigated next.
