Filtration, sedimentation, flocculation, aeration and chemical or UV dosing: the water we consume goes through these processes between the source and our household taps. Our simulation tools are used by clients all across Australia to provide the nation with clean potable water.
Chlorine dosing for water treatment
Engineers need to know how effectively the given amount of dosage mixes with the water stream. They also need to understand if there are regions of recirculation and what the concentration of dosage is at N diameters downstream of the inlet.
Most of the equipment are either too big to continuously build and test or it is near impossible to replicate the exact test conditions. Furthermore, CFD inherently provides a full picture of the entire 3D space in one-go. While solving for dosage concentration, it also provides detailed information on the velocity field, settling, temperature and pressure.

Chlorination of Untreated Water
CFD was used to determine the location & number of chlorine jets to achieve a CoV concentration at a desired location within the pipework.
Saving $50k from 48hrs of CFD
Simulation provided an easier route to achieving design objectives without the purchase of new equipment or time consuming experimental tests.
