AvailableFrom entry point to tap — chemistry with residence time.
AquaAdvisor’s distribution lane models disinfectant residual decay, DBP formation, PFAS profiles, lead/copper saturation and corrosion control, and residence-time cell modeling for the systems you treat.
WHAT GOES WRONG
What goes wrong in distribution systems
Residual decays where models are thin
Entry-point chlorine or chloramine looks fine at the treatment plant. Distant cells on the account lose residual as temperature and residence time climb.
DBPs form on the clock you don’t model
Formation depends on precursors, disinfectant, and time. Grab samples miss the cells that drive the compliance risk the program is hired to manage.
Lead and copper control is reactive
Saturation and orthophosphate programs need chemistry and hydraulics together — not a single Langelier number at the plant that you cannot defend.
PFAS and emerging analytes lack a program home
Profiles accumulate in spreadsheets. The account team needs a place to trend, compare, and attach actions.
WHAT AQUAADVISOR MODELS
What AquaAdvisor models
Mechanistic chemistry and asset physics — not a renamed dashboard of controller points.
- Entry-point-to-tap disinfectant residual decay
- DBP formation; PFAS profiles
- Lead/copper saturation and corrosion control
- Residence-time cell modeling
- Compliance profiling
DATA BY FIDELITY
Required data inputs by tier
Start with what you already collect on the account. The same distribution model sharpens as telemetry and lab cadence improve.
Baseline
- Entry-point chemistry and disinfectant residual
- System schematic with major cells and typical residence times
- Historical compliance sample results
Instrumented
- Online residual and temperature at key nodes
- Flush and valve event logs
- Lead/copper and DBP sample programs
Hourly speciation
- Hourly residual and precursor estimation
- Hydraulic model coupling where available
High fidelity
- Fine-grained cell network and demand patterns
- High-frequency correction for operational control
OUTPUTS
Outputs and decisions enabled
Decisions your account team can take to the utility — residual, DBP, and corrosion-control chemistry with residence time.
- Residual decay profiles by cell
- DBP formation risk indicators
- Lead/copper corrosion control chemistry context
- PFAS and related analyte profile trending
- Compliance profiling against program limits
Decisions enabled
What you can decide
- Where to sample or recommend a residual boost next on the account
- Whether the corrosion-control chemistry you deliver is on envelope
- How residence-time changes move the compliance risk you are hired to manage
COMPLIANCE OVERLAYS
Relevant compliance overlays
- Compliance profiling against the parameters and limits in the programs you deliver
- History your account team can attach for primacy-agency and public-communication support
- Explicit listing of which regulatory packs ship — never implied as complete
AI IN THIS ASSET
AI on distribution chemistry
Residual, DBP, and corrosion-control narratives for the distribution accounts you treat — grounded in solved chemistry, not opaque scores.
- Risk narratives when disinfectant residual decays along residence-time cells, citing modeled drivers the account team can take to the utility
- Supervisory triangulation of probe and grab-sample disagreement before a compliance decision on the account
- Sampling and boost recommendations framed as value-of-information you can defend, not blanket densification
- Lead/copper control explanations that cite saturation and corrosion-control chemistry, not opaque scores
Model a distribution system from an account you treat.
Bring entry-point chemistry and a system sketch from an account you treat. We will walk residual, DBP, and corrosion-control chemistry live — 30 minutes, not a slide deck.
