Services
Hydraulic Analysis
We analyze pipeline systems ranging from 6-inch to 12-foot diameters to optimize flow dynamics and prevent structural damage. Our engineers study open channel flows, hydraulic jumps, and air entrainment phenomena to improve system efficiency. Using field-validated software, we solve pump vibration issues and develop flow optimization strategies for complex distribution networks.
Pipeline Transients
Our proprietary surge analysis software identifies pressure surge risks from pump failures and valve operations. We develop mitigation strategies including our patented Battery Powered Surge Mitigation (BPSM) system that prevents waterhammer through controlled pump shutdown. Detailed reports provide actionable recommendations for system protection.
Water Quality Analysis
We use DYRESM-WQ modeling software to assess physical, chemical, and biological processes in water bodies. Our analysis identifies short-circuiting risks in reservoirs and develops solutions like hypolimnetic oxygenation systems. Field studies validate model predictions for Cryptosporidium and Coliform concentration management.
Computational Fluid Dynamics
Our CFD simulations optimize tank and basin designs for water treatment facilities. We analyze heated water discharges and develop baffle configurations to maximize water quality. This scientific approach replaces traditional design methods with precision flow modeling for improved system performance.
Turbulent Mixing Analysis
We apply turbulent mixing theory to design NPDES-compliant diffuser systems for coastal and riverine environments. Using ICP-MS technology, we conduct dilution field studies for discharges ranging from 6,500 to 840,000 gpm. Our analysis supports desalination plants, brine disposal, and salt pond remediation projects.
