Lessons Learned at GLWA
Confidential © Aquasight LLC
• Data Quality: Quality issues are not an insurmountable problem; bots catch issues
and provide early warning
• Instrumentation: This approach can adapt to any level of instrumentation; gaps in
instrumentation do not hinder efficiency improvements
• Automation Checks & Balances: If unit process is fully automated one can use this platform
for periodic set point optimization (checks & balances)
• Manual Real-Time Aid: If manually operated process one can use it as Real-time aid to create
consistent hi-performing valedictorian operators
• Motivation: Key question to ask - what is your motivation?
• O&M cost reduction
• Tightening permits - squeezing more out of process
• Continuous improvement
• Steering Committee: During on-boarding senior leadership + O&M engagement is critical
• Transmit utility leader’s best practices through Apollo
• Knowledge retention
• Preparing for Nextgen workforce
Treating Real-Time data is just as important as treating wastewater
