Visual Water Designer was developed as a comprehensive design tool that covers a wide variety of hydraulic, process, utility, and general water/wastewater features.  The software is organized into three main categories, including hydraulics and pumping, standard treatment design, and advanced treatment design.

Advanced Hydraulic and Pumping Analysis

• Pumping system analysis, including system losses, discharge and suction heads, NPSH, and TDH
• Full flow pipe analysis and associated head losses
• Open channel analysis
• Orifice/gate analysis, with options for analyzing head loss or flow
• Weir analysis for 6 types of weirs
• Flume analysis for 4 types of flumes
• Flow measurement device analysis, including Venturi meters, nozzles, and orifice meters
• Sewer analysis, including manhole head losses
• Culvert analysis based on FHWA design methodology

Standard Treatment Unit Process Analysis

• Standard process calculations for almost all available water and wastewater treatment processes
• Analyze clarifiers, activated sludge systems, trickling filters, digesters, disinfection, filtration, screening devices, flocculation, grit removal, and RBCs
• Analyze sludge processing units, including belt filter presses, gravity thickening, centrifuges, dissolved air flotation, and vacuum filtration
• Built-in database allows you to view all assumptions used in any calculation and change those values at any time
• Determine how results are obtained from the advanced reports that display the equations used in the calculations

Advanced Treatment Unit Process Analysis

• Analysis of advanced treatment processes, including membrane-filtration, reverse osmosis, ultraviolet disinfection, phosphorus removal, and nitrogen removal
• Most up to date analyses based on industry standards
• Similar to the standard treatment unit calculations, a built-in assumptions database and advanced reporting features provide the flexibility you need to simplify any calculation
