Hydromantis and OCWA to Offer Advanced Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Simulation Technologies

HAMILTON, February 14, 2013– Hydromantis Environmental Software Solutions, Inc. (Hydromantis) and the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) announced today that they have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to enhance water and wastewater treatment plant operations and operator training through the advancement of leading-edge simulation based technologies and services. 

Based on Hydromantis flagship products, GPS-X™ and SimuWorks™, Hydromantis and OCWA are creating opportunities for real-time simulator integration with supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) for decision making support and leading-edge water treatment simulators.

“OCWA is the largest operator of water and wastewater facilities in the province and our promotion of leading edge technology is fundamental to our drive for operational excellence,” said OCWA President and CEO Jane Pagel.  “Hydromantis simulation technology is already presenting our staff with an unparalleled operator training environment and the implementation of real-time links between GPS-X™ and operator control systems will provide forward looking, actionable data for improved decision making support,” she added.

“Hydromantis was the first company in the world to commercialize wastewater treatment plant simulation technology and we are unique in our ability to combine specialized wastewater treatment consulting and advanced simulation technology,” said Robert Beres, Hydromantis Chair and Managing Director. “Both OCWA and Hydromantis are well known as innovators in the water and wastewater industry and this partnership makes perfect sense as we look to introduce auto-calibration and continuous simulation engines into treatment plant information systems.”
