Envirosuite SeweX platform

The SeweX modelling technology incorporated into Envirosuite’s monitoring, modelling and management platform is designed to provide a solution to optimally reduce both operating and capital costs and extend the life of sewer assets.

Sewer corrosion is a major problem in urban infrastructure globally and leads to the need for expensive rehabilitation (repair and renovation). Corrosion problems can severely limit the lifetime of sewer network assets and are also closely linked to odour generation in sewers.

SeweX is an advanced mathematical modelling tool describing the physical, chemical and biological processes in sewers. It has been developed over many years by some the world’s leading wastewater experts at the University of Queensland’s Advanced Water Management Centre in conjunction with several major Australian water utilities.

The SeweX model is designed to identify the areas within a sewer network at high risk of increased levels of corrosion and odour production. Envirosuite will build on the existing SeweX model and integrate it into the existing software platform.

When launched, Envirosuite’s new solution promises to materially reduce core operating and capital costs for network operators through predictive identification of corrosion and odour-risk priority areas enabling optimisation of chemical dosing for in-sewer sulphide control.

SeweX has recently been awarded as a proof-of-concept project with Western Australia’s Water Corporation to manage sewer networks assets. The project demonstrates the platform’s performance in supporting proactive management of corrosion, odour and safety in sewer networks related to sulphide and methane.
