Digital Twins for Water Treatment: How Navbharat Water Predicts Plant Failures 72 Hours Early

A digital twin is a real-time virtual model of your physical water treatment plant. It runs on cloud servers, ingesting live sensor data every 60 seconds and simulating plant behaviour.

What is a Digital Twin for Water Treatment?

Unlike a SCADA system (which shows current state), a digital twin predicts future state. It models flow rates, chemical dosing, biological activity, and equipment health to forecast performance 24–72 hours ahead.

How Navbharat Water's Digital Twin Works

• IoT sensors send data every 60 seconds: flow, pH, DO, turbidity, conductivity
• Cloud model runs parallel simulation using calibrated process equations
• ML layer detects pattern anomalies that precede failures
• Alerts sent 24–72 hours before predicted exceedance or equipment failure
