Why Excel is not Good Enough Some things to consider • It’s easy to overwrite cells in Excel: – – • Excel has limitations on the amount of data it can hold: – • How is your data added to your Excel file and how long does it take? If the data being imported needed to change, who will be able to make the change? Manipulating and reorganizing data once it is loaded into Excel can be difficult: – – – • Do you have different files for your current and historical data? Excel can import data but requires advanced programming to format it: – – • How are you protecting your data and formulas to prevent an accidental change? Do you have any audit trails on the data to indicate when and why a cell had been changed? How long does it take to pull together your data when you need a non-standard report? Are you able to get all the value from your data because it’s too difficult to further analyze? How often do you want to look at the same data in different ways (e. g. different time frames, different comparisons)? Excel does not automatically back up data or provide version control: – – What would happen if someone accidently deleted your file? How do you assure revision control? ØHow do you make sure that you have and are using accurate information? ØHow do you manage changes to the file or files? ØHow much effort is needed to do a non-standard analysis or report? 10

Case Studies 52
Case 1: Improving Aeration Efficiency Oxygen transfer efficiency is a function of bubble size. The smaller the bubble, the higher the efficiency. Ceramic or membrane diffusers will foul in time, causing the bubble size to increase. To minimize energy used and reduce downtime, it is important to determine when diffusers need to be cleaned. Clients use WIMS™ to determine cleaning cycle by benchmarking pounds of BOD removed per KW of electricity used. 53
Case 2: Lowering Chemical Costs In the chart of raw and settled water turbidity against alum dosage (obtained by using graphing tools in WIMS™), the client recognized that increased alum dosing (circled) did not improve settled water turbidity. This led to an opportunity to save up to 10 percent in alum dosage. 54
Case 3: Real-time estimation of BOD The time-lag in obtaining BOD results, a 5 -day lab test, make it challenging for plant operations to adjust treatment processes to adverse levels of BOD. By using powerful statistical tools built into WIMS™, a site-specific correlation between on-line UV absorbance against lab BOD measurements was obtained. The client can now estimate BOD in real-time, allowing for the optimization for treatment processes and avoid potential violations. 55
