Municipal Modeling

Mineral Scale & Chemistry Evaluation

French Creek's WatSIM modeling software is used for modeling municipal systems for

The modeling software's interface and calculation engine were designed to enable even a novice computer user the ability to:

  • Evaluate scale potential for 20 + different species
  • Determine a systems optimal operating range
  • Test the effect of pH controls
  • Select a suitable treatment & dosage

Optimize Mixtures

WatSIM enables users to model scale potential and critical parameters over their entire operating range.

This means a user can quickly find:

  • When scale becomes an issue
  • Which scales require treatment
  • An optimal operating range
  • If treatment can extend recovery range

Inhibitor Modeling

WatSIM enables users to model treatments using our extensive inhibitor library of models, or with your own models created using a Laboratory Edition.

Using a Formulator Edition, a user can create a Product File by selecting any number of materials and by assigning actives.

Once a Product File is created, model it! WatSIM's color coded graphs and Treatment Limits Summary show the treatments range of effectiveness. WatSIM also recommends a dosage for any point in your operating range.

Materials available include:

  • HEDP
  • ATMP
  • HEDP
  • PBTC
  • HDTMP
  • DTPMPA
  • PAA
  • PMA
  • AA-AMPS
  • + Many Proprietary Materials

  1. Create Product File »
    Product files are made up of various inhibitor models. They are used to model effectiveness and dosages for a given analysis.
  2. Select 'Product' to Model »
    After using WatSIM for scale potential assessment, select a previously made Product File to view a product's range and for dosage recommendations.
  3. Color Coded Graphs »
    WatSIM enables a user to view a treatment's optimal range via color coding:
    indicates safe range

    indicates mild problem if conditions change

    warns to check measurements, nearing trouble

    indicates a problem is likely, take corrective action

    warns of a problem. Remedial action required.
