FlowPlan › Framework
FlowPlan is the structured approach behind EnWater Design’s project work, linking scoping, input review, pathway selection, configuration, and delivery into one connected sequence. The FlowPlan framework and what it sets out to do are introduced here before moving deeper into how it works.
It integrates diagnostics, treatment modules, and project pathways so that every study, design note, and engagement remains anchored to the outcomes the plant and programme need to achieve.
FlowPlan is not a standalone product - it is the decision and delivery foundation behind our studies, process design, diagnostics, and project pathways. It keeps sight of target ranges, reuse classes, biosolids routes, and information requirements from the first intake through to handover and optimisation.
FlowPlan structures every EnWater Design engagement across water, wastewater, reuse, sludge, and odor/septicity, from early studies through to project delivery. A single, consistent sequence connects planning, input review, configuration, and implementation.
Design & advisory
Uses FlowPlan to set decision basis, coordination points, and vendor-ready deliverables for treatment and reuse systems.
Connected to: decision packs, integration notes, and upgrade pathways.
Diagnostics & tools
FlowPlan links targeted diagnostics directly to module sets and project options, avoiding fragmented testing.
Connected to: design support intake, health checks, retrofit tools.
Project pathways
STP+, ETP+, ZLD+, sludge routes and more, each configured from FlowPlan modules and deliverable sets.
Connected to: feasibility, ToR, design integration, and requirements notes.
Implementation & reviews
Keeps KPIs, tests, and reuse routes visible through procurement, build, commissioning, and optimisation.
Connected to: validation plans, performance reviews, optimisation notes.
FlowPlan operates across four concurrent stages throughout every project. Engagements may enter at different points, whether retrofit, new build, or reuse ambition, but the structure remains consistent, keeping all decisions traceable from start to finish.
Stage 1
Define the project’s target outcomes before options are compared: reuse class, discharge route, biosolids pathway, odor risk, capacity, and timing.
Stage 2
Apply targeted diagnostics that sharpen decisions: process health checks, risk assessments, sludge and brine profiles, and reuse feasibility tests.
Stage 3
Combine modules into connected paths: MBBR, filtration, membranes, sludge, thermal, odor, with realistic integration and footprint notes.
Stage 4
Translate the selected pathway into vendor-ready scopes, project variants (STP+, ETP+, ZLD+, sludge routes), and implementation notes that protect design intent through procurement and delivery.
Every engagement is structured around the same FlowPlan stages, whether it begins at intake or at a specific bottleneck. This is how projects move through the framework.
Each project is anchored to these phases regardless of entry point, ensuring decisions remain traceable and implementation stays aligned with the original outcomes.
Phase A
Structure the problem, gather the right inputs, and map feasible paths, technically and economically.
Phase B
Turn preferred pathways into module configurations, requirements notes, and scopes that solution providers can price and deliver.
Phase C
Support implementation, commissioning, and early optimisation so performance, reuse, and biosolids commitments are actually met.
This framework maps our systems design & planning approach across six structured service phases, from intake and diagnostics through to delivery and optimisation. Each phase has defined engagement tools and deliverables so the scope, information base, and requirements are clear at every stage.
FlowPlan service phase
Capture flows, reuse goals, constraints, and what “success” means. Establish the decision basis before options are compared. This is where we define what assumptions must be true, what information is required next, and how decisions will be made.
Each phase represents a distinct part of structured engagement.
Connected outputs
Engagement tools
Tools applied at this stage to define scope and structure the engagement.
Technical services / deliverables
Deliverables produced at this stage for client review and vendor use.
Bring your project parameters, whether a new plant, retrofit, reuse target, ZLD constraint, or biosolids challenge, and we will structure the engagement from the first conversation through to a vendor-ready scope.
