FlowPlan Projects
Project Pathways
Projects usually begin with a specific trigger: a new treatment need, an underperforming plant, a reuse target, an unresolved residual route or an equipment requirement. Project Pathways connects that trigger to the decisions that follow, from whether treatment is required and to what level, through route comparison, site fit and the work needed to progress.
The guides cover treatment, reuse, biosolids and equipment projects while showing where one pathway affects another. They provide a considered basis for comparing options rather than starting from a preferred technology or supplier package.
How the project trigger becomes a workable direction
The trigger establishes why action is being considered. The next step is to define the duty, compare viable routes and understand the gains, limitations and site implications of each before a project direction is selected.
Pathway guides
What each pathway brings into view
Project trigger
Clarifies what has changed and what is driving action: compliance, capacity, performance, reuse, cost, asset condition or residual disposal.
Required duty
Defines whether treatment is required, to what level, for which outlet or reuse purpose, and the flows, loads and quality conditions the system must handle.
Options and trade-offs
Compares feasible routes by treatment performance, footprint, power, chemicals, operator demand, residuals, capital cost and operating cost, including the gains and limitations of each.
Site direction
Establishes the treatment structure and technology combination best suited to the site, together with the connections, controls, monitoring and next work needed to progress it.

Solution Advisory
Where the trigger or preferred direction is still uncertain, Solution Advisory clarifies the issue, tests the case for action and identifies the decisions that need to be resolved first.
FlowPlan
FlowPlan develops the wider project picture, compares technical routes and connects treatment, reuse, residuals, equipment, utilities and controls around the selected duty.
Design & Sourcing
Once a direction is established, Design & Sourcing develops process requirements, equipment duties, specifications, proposal comparisons and integration needs for procurement and implementation.
