EmNet, LLC <br />121 S. Niles Ave., Suite 22, <br />South Bend, IN 46617 <br />574.855.1012 <br />Wednesday, May 06, 2020 <br />BLU-XTm Treatment Discovery Project for South Bend <br />Wastewater Treatment Plant, South Bend, IN <br />Statement of Work Summary <br />Objective: <br />E Perform a preliminary study of the potential benefits that would result from deploying <br />BLU-XTM to optimize operating parameters throughout the South Bend Wastewater <br />Treatment Plant (WWTP) in order to achieve energy savings while ensuring that water <br />quality compliance is maintained. BLU-XTM is EmNet's real time decision support <br />system (RT-DSS) platform for collection system and WWTP optimization. <br />Rationale- <br />0 The City of South Bend identified water quality <br />improvements in the St. Joseph River as a high <br />priority. Since 2008, EmNet in collaboration with <br />the City of South Bend, has successfully deployed <br />BLU-X for optimizing collection system operations <br />as well as future Capital Improvement Plan <br />optimization. Levering BLU-X has helped the City <br />improve water quality by reducing combined sewer <br />overflow (CSO) volume by 70%. South Bend is <br />also interested in using BLU-X Treatment to further <br />improve water quality through treatment plant <br />optimization. <br />M <br />BLU-X optimizes treatment plant operations by <br />providing utility operators with comprehensive <br />system knowledge and information, empowering <br />them to make highly informed decisions, as well as <br />via coordinated automation of plant processes. <br />The City of South Bend recently committed to <br />citywide energy and carbon footprint goals to <br />minimize its impact on the environment and demonstrate environmental leadership as <br />such. <br />Page 1 of 6 <br />
