Xylem Sanitaire - OSCAR Process Performance Optimizer
The Sanitaire OSCAR process performance optimizer is a customizable, integrated biological process control software and hardware system that’s used with Xylem’s treatment equipment to help a plant meet their desired performance and operating budget. The OSCAR system is the operator’s helper, providing: Efficient operation by dynamically adapting to changing conditions to optimize contaminant removal for guaranteed effluent quality. Reliable treatment to help optimize equipment operation resulting in energy savings and reduced chemical consumption. Operator friendly intuitive user interface and remote accessibility, combined with the transparency of real-time monitoring and electronic help features built right into the Human Machine Interface (HMI).
The Sanitaire OSCAR system comes standard with a control panel including PLC and HMI, aeration controller, and service. Additional customizable hardware and software components and services are available. See our System Components tab for more information and learn more about what some of the options below can do for you.
When it comes to hardware:
- OSCAR knows reliable controls. All control panels are programmed and tested prior to shipment, using state of the art components that are well known throughout the industry.
- OSCAR knows security. To ensure peace of mind when accessing your control system remotely, the OSCAR system uses a highly rated EWON webport.
- OSCAR knows electronic help features. The HMI includes alarm management and troubleshooting, process trending, maintenance alerts and O&M manuals all accessible directly in the GUI and available remotely, giving operators the tools needed to successfully and efficiently operate their wastewater treatment plant.
- OSCAR knows instrumentation. The OSCAR system uses the most advanced Xylem brand sensors from WTW YSI and MJK for reliable monitoring.
When it comes to software:
- OSCAR knows biomass control. The optional SIMS controller monitors and controls sludge wasting to maintain a stable biomass resulting in consistent settling characteristics, energy optimization and reliable, high-quality effluent.
- OSCAR knows nutrient control. The optional nutrient controllers (ammonia control, nitrate control, phosphorus control, and/or NURO control) measure actual effluent nutrient concentrations to optimize aerobic, anoxic and/or anaerobic conditions as required to meet permit, resulting in energy savings of 20% or more.
- OSCAR knows aeration control. The standard aeration controller adjusts blower and valve operation of the aeration system to stably maintain the required dissolved oxygen concentration, resulting in minimum energy consumption.
When it comes to service:
Each OSCAR system is engineered to order to meet project specific needs and all panels are tested prior to shipment. At Xylem, our biological process experts works with consulting engineers, end users, contractors and system integrators to ensure proper design of the entire wastewater treatment plant.
