Proof of concept project for SeweX with WA’s Water Corporation
SeweX
Sewer network monitoring for proactive management and response of safety, corrosion and odour risks in sewer networks.
Corrosion
Corrosion, odour and safety issues related to sulfide and methane are often only discovered after costly assets fail
Sewer corrosion can severely limit the lifetime of assets and costs millions to repair. Assets can fail well before the expected life of the equipment and costly manual inspection methods can only cover a small fraction of the network each year.
The cost of replacement and maintenance for unexpected issues can be in the millions. Odor issues in the network can be highly disruptive and understanding and managing safety issues related to sulfide and methane generation is a critical issue to most water utilities.
Product features
Real-time sewer network monitoring for safety, corrosion and odour risk
SeweX identifies sewer corrosion issues before costly and disruptive incidents occur. Dynamic modelling of corrosion risk is translated to provide rapid analysis of the likely cause of corrosion risk that has occurred or is emerging. Alternative operating and control scenarios can then be simulated to identify the best approach for short-term response and long-term asset management.
The cause of odour complaints in the network can be quickly identified, together with analysis of potential dosing approaches to minimise ongoing costs for managing the issue.
Safety risk related to sulfide and methane generation is also easily understood with network-wide mapping of risk.

Inside the product
Real-time visualisation for odour, corrosion and safety risk in sewer networks
Market alternatives offer only simple storage and display of monitoring information. SeweX provides rapid understanding of risk as it develops and supports science-based decision making for making the best short-term and long-term decisions for improvement.
Identify significant savings in master planning of sewer assets
Develop cost effective mitigation strategies by determining the optimal chemical dosing design to suit the needs of a particular network.
Monitor of safety risks and performance across entire networks
Identify potential areas of safety risk in the network due to sulfide and methane generation.
Know when to make specific operational adjustments to reduce odour events
Quickly and easily understand the effects of alternative dosing strategies for short and long-term planning.
