BLU-XTm Treatment Discovery Project for South Bend
Wastewater Treatment Plant, South Bend, IN
Statement of Work Summary
Objective:
E Perform a preliminary study of the potential benefits that would result from deploying
BLU-XTM to optimize operating parameters throughout the South Bend Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) in order to achieve energy savings while ensuring that water
quality compliance is maintained. BLU-XTM is EmNet's real time decision support
system (RT-DSS) platform for collection system and WWTP optimization.
Rationale-
0 The City of South Bend identified water quality
improvements in the St. Joseph River as a high
priority. Since 2008, EmNet in collaboration with
the City of South Bend, has successfully deployed
BLU-X for optimizing collection system operations
as well as future Capital Improvement Plan
optimization. Levering BLU-X has helped the City
improve water quality by reducing combined sewer
overflow (CSO) volume by 70%. South Bend is
also interested in using BLU-X Treatment to further
improve water quality through treatment plant
optimization.
M
BLU-X optimizes treatment plant operations by
providing utility operators with comprehensive
system knowledge and information, empowering
them to make highly informed decisions, as well as
via coordinated automation of plant processes.
The City of South Bend recently committed to
citywide energy and carbon footprint goals to
minimize its impact on the environment and demonstrate environmental leadership as
such.
Page 1 of 6
0 South Bend is interested in using BLU-X for optimizing its WWTP as it can bring
together real time data and advanced control algorithms to minimize energy
consumption and chemical inputs while ensuring effluent water quality standards.
BLU-X has been leveraged to characterize and optimize wastewater collection
systems and treatment facilities in more than 55 cities around the world — helping
utilities improve operations, stay in compliance, and reduce capital expenditures and
operating costs. EmNet's success is based on a collaborative "Glass -Box" approach,
which utilizes both proprietary and open -source software in an open architecture
environment.
Background-
0 South Bend WWTP is designed to treat an average flow of 48 million gallons per day
and can treat at least 77 million gallons per day under high flow.
0 South Bend WWTP operates under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit issued by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
Under stringent NPDES permit conditions, the plant discharges treated wastewater to
the St. Joseph River.
Figure 1. South Bend Wastewater Treatment Plant (South Bend, IN)
The BLU-X Treatment Solution:
The BLU-X platform allows our clients to match their treatment process to the specific
make-up of wastewater entering the plant in real time. To achieve optimal operational
efficiency, BLU-X goes beyond static setpoint controllers (such as PIDs) and implements
an advanced control system based on a real time digital twin model. The BLU-X team
builds these digital twin models using Neural Network (NN) of the carbon, nitrogen, and
phosphorous elimination processes based on data from the plant's existing SCADA
system (Figure 2). Using this real time digital twin, the system can create an optimization
Page 2 of 6
strategy for aeration energy reduction and other critical parameters within the WWTP
based on the plant's needs at that moment and in the near -term future. In principle, BLU-
X applies the same process strategies as human operators; however, it can make
predictive decisions, accounting for all available data and forecasting water quality of the
final effluent. This helps to raise the level of precision to a new standard. At any point in
time, BLU-X Treatment considers all parameters (e.g. ammonium, nitrate, etc.) and can
adjust process setpoints (e.g. nitrification, den itrification) to optimal conditions.
In each stage of project delivery, even before any software is implemented, the careful
analysis of data leads to the discovery of valuable information that can be used to improve
the performance of the plant. Through this process, many of our clients have gained
insights that helped to significantly reduce costs and improve process stability while
ensuring water quality compliance.

Figure 2. Representation of a data driven neural network developed
to create a digital twin in BLU-X treatment.
As an example, the BLU-X Treatment solution was applied to the Cuxhaven Wastewater
Treatment Plant in Cuxhaven, Germany in early 2017. BLU-X provided a real time digital
twin of the entire plant so that each process receives optimal aeration and chemical inputs
to match the needed chemical and biological oxygen demand. Since the utility had limited
online sensors available to take real time measurements of influent concentrations,
several "virtual" or "soft" sensors were developed to calculate an estimate of the incoming
carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous loads of the influent. In the absence of traditional
sensor data, these virtual sensors helped the utility accurately estimate influent
concentration to operate the aeration process in the most efficient way while meeting
regulatory requirements. The optimized operation of the plant resulted in a drastic
reduction in these fluctuations and prevented situational peak energy consumption
(Figure 3).

After Optimization
Figure 3. After implementing an optimization strategy, actual conditions closely correlate with
the optimal set -points for wastewater treatment.
Since implementing the BLU-X solution, the Cuxhaven treatment plant has shown a 26%
reduction in aeration energy usage, corresponding to 1.1 million kWh annually — enough
energy to power 64 homes for one year. In addition, all plant effluent concentrations
continue to be tightly maintained within regulatory compliance limits.
Statement of Work and Deliverables:
The purpose of a Discovery Project is to identify and quantify opportunities for treatment
optimization via the implementation of a BLU-X RT-DSS. In Phase 1: Discovery
Project, EmNet will complete the following scope of work:
1. Review Existing Data. Request and review information relevant to South Bend's
WWTP. As examples, some information requested may include:
• reports/studies
• plant size and basic specs
• influent/effluent data
• sludge treatment process
• nitrification/aeration process
• phosphate precipitation
• energy usage
• analytical data
• other constituents (fats, oils and grease (FOG), temperature, pH, etc.)
• biological parameters
• compliance constraints
• sensor and existing control system information
• current standard operational procedures
Page 4 of 6
2. Conduct an in -person workshop. A meeting at the WWTP including a facilities
tour and workshop with selected staff to confirm project needs and objectives will
be conducted. A recap of the findings and documented opportunities will be shared
during the in -person workshop.
3. Understand plant treatment process. Review documentation to understand
treatment processes at the plant that are identified for evaluation. EmNet will also
evaluate the current efficiency of the treatment process.
4. Develop basic model. Develop a preliminary training of the neural network
embedded model based on the available data and project goals. In addition, the
team will train the neural network model and perform validation to determine its
precision. A sensitivity analysis will also be conducted to discern the usefulness of
the model.
5. Preliminary review of model integration into BLU-X. A review of the BLU-X
model versus the available plant data will be performed to analyze the benefits of
implementing BLU-X at full scale and potential plant savings.
6. Implementation Plan (Phase 2). Develop a high-level implementation plan for
Phase 2: BLU-X Implementation
7. Conduct Discovery Phase workshop. Hold a final in -person workshop to present
the results of the preliminary review of modeling at the South Bend WWTP. This
offers the opportunity for feedback, and additional plant information will be
collected during the meeting to further refine the strategy.
Phase 2 Implementation Feasibility:
Should the project progress to Phase 2: BLU-X Implementation, EmNet will complete
the following scope of work in three stages which will be highlighted in the Phase 2
Implementation Plan:
1. Turn on the LightsTM: Existing streams of data from hardware sensors in the
treatment process, as well as SCADA, will be leveraged to map the available
variables and generate real time information via analytics and visualization
applications. Further virtual sensors will also be developed to substitute in areas
where hardware sensors may not be situated.
2. Create Digital Twin: An optimized treatment process model will be developed
with predictions of optimal operating parameters for various processes in the
plant based on real time sensor data.
3. Optimize and Deliver Operational Guidance: Leveraging the sensor data and
the newly developed Digital Copy of the treatment plant will enable the
development of an RT-DSS. This RT-DSS will be designed to provide operational
recommendations to achieve project objectives (e.g. energy savings).
