From spreadsheets to manual design packages, design engineers have never had a unified software tool enabling automated design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Transcend Design Generator (TDG), Transcend\u2019s innovative wastewater treatment works (WWTW) design technology, sought to overcome this challenge. The TDG brings engineering disciplines together through its cloud-based software, aiming to achieve the best outcome for water utilities. Operated as a software as a service (SaaS) solution, the TDG automates conceptual engineering and proposal processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supported by the Advanced Industrial Trial Reservoir, TDG partnered with water tech company Xylem to test the TDG. Focusing on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.xylem.com\/en-us\/products--services\/treatment-products-systems\/biological-treatment-processes\/sequential-batch-reactor-sbr\/iceas-advanced-sbr\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=docs&amp;ust=1720781064681500&amp;usg=AOvVaw2rjz8tLuTPp9o9zMA--z7f\">Xylem\u2019s ICEAS<\/a> Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) wastewater treatment technology, the pilot sought to establish whether the TDG could automate proposal generation for sales teams and engineers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team wanted to establish whether it could reduce time required to create designs and free up valuable engineer time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the trial, turnaround time for ICEAS tenders dropped from 3 weeks to 1-2 weeks using the TDG software. This cut design-to-proposal time by 50%, with potential further reductions possible through additional refinements of the TDG. The TDG has transformed how engineers create designs for end-to-end WWTW by allowing companies to evaluate different options. Engineers can quickly generate designs that prioritize reducing a treatment works\u2019 carbon footprint, minimizing land use, or optimizing CAPEX\/OPEX.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Benef\u00edcios da abordagem\/inova\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reduced turnaround time:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The TDG halved turnaround time for creating wastewater treatment proposals.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Increased productivity: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automation frees up design engineers from budgetary proposals to focus on more impactful project work.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Unified software solution: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The TDG integrates multiple disciplines into one powerful tool.
