WaterSim™
Optimize Water + Process Efficiency With Confidence
Managing industrial water systems is complex—oversized equipment leads to wasted resources, while undersized systems risk inefficiency and failure. Apex developed WaterSim™, the industry’s most advanced water balance modeling tool, to help you understand, predict, and optimize your water systems for maximum efficiency and sustainability.
With WaterSim™, you gain clear visibility into how water moves through your facility, allowing you to:
- Avoid over or under designing with proper equipment sizing.
- Predict water chemistry to prevent scale, corrosion, and fouling.
- Ensure compliance by modeling discharge flows and compositions.
- Minimize costs by analyzing CapEx and OpEx scenarios.
- Maximize sustainability by identifying water, energy and chemical savings.
How WaterSim™ Works
Step 1
Facility Data Collection
Our team gathers critical water system data, including flow rates, pressure points, chemical composition, and temperature variations across your process.
Step 2
Water Balance Simulation
WaterSim™ models how water moves through your facility, identifying usage points, losses, and reuse opportunities.
Step 3
Predictive Chemistry Analysis
The tool forecasts potential scaling, corrosion, or fouling risks, enabling proactive treatment adjustments to improve water quality.
Step 4
Performance & Cost Optimization
Evaluate multiple “what-if” scenarios to determine the most cost-effective and sustainable water treatment solutions.
Step 5
Implementation & Continuous Monitoring
Once optimized, WaterSim™ provides a roadmap for implementation, with ongoing monitoring to maintain peak system performance.
