Midvaal Water Company approached M-Tech Industrial with the need to optimize their existing reticulation network. Their intention was to not only use the thermal-hydraulic model of the water reticulation network as a cost effective solution to their immediate problem areas, but also as a basis model for pump scheduling and possible future integration with their plant control system. A user friendly human machine interface allowed operators and engineers to use the high fidelity model of their reticulation system with minimal amounts of training.

This case study demonstrates the steady-state simulation of the fresh water (drinking water) reticulation system in a small village.
