Innovyze Releases RDII Analyst Generation
V14.5,
Setting New Standard for
Managing and Operating Sewer Systems
New Version Fully
Supports Sewer Condition and Rehabilitation Priorities and Sewer Capacity
Assessment
Broomfield, Colorado,
USA, June 6, 2017 – Innovyze, a leading
global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet
infrastructure, today announced the release of RDII
Analyst (Rainfall-Derived Inflow and Infiltration) Generation
V14.5 for InfoSWMM
and InfoSWMM
SA. The new version delivers both new and expanded
functionalities for the quantification of RDII and help capacity analysis and
the condition assessment of sewer systems. The release confirms Innovyze’s
commitment to giving the world the most complete toolset for managing,
operating and sustaining high-performing sewer systems.
Excessive wet weather
flow from rainfall-derived manhole and pipe defect inflow and infiltration is a
major source of sanitary and combined sewer overflows. Controlling these
overflows is vital in reducing risks to public health and protecting the
environment from water pollution. Computer modeling plays an important role in determining
optimal remedial solutions that reduce RDII; improve system integrity,
reliability and performance; and avoid overflows.
The processes for
converting rainfall to RDII flow in sanitary sewer systems are very
complicated. In addition to rainfall and antecedent moisture conditions,
factors in controlling RDII responses include depth to groundwater, depth to
bedrock, land slope, number and size of sewer system defects, type of storm
drainage system, soil characteristics, and type of sewer backfill. Given this
degree of complexity, flow-monitoring data must be combined with mathematical
modeling and analytics to provide accurate results. The wastewater flow
monitoring data obtained by sewer collection systems consists of dry-weather
flow components, ground water flow and eighteen (18) RDII flow components. A
crucial step in successfully modeling sewer collection systems is the ability
to decompose flow-monitoring data into RDII flow, ground water flow and dry
weather flow and its flow patterns (both weekday and weekend).
RDII Analyst is significantly superior to the EPA Sanitary
Sewer Overflow Analysis and Planning (SSOAP) program. Powered by advanced GA
optimization and comprehensive data analytics and scenario management, it is
able to quickly and reliably perform these types of advanced flow decomposition
data monitoring. V14.5 has been expanded with a simple and interactive visual
curve fitting to facilitate determination of the unit hydrograph parameters. R,
T, K and associated monthly storage parameters can now be determined by
graphically comparing the total RDII hydrographs generated by users’ defined R,
T, K parameters with the RDII hydrographs from the monitored data. Numerical
comparison of total RDII volume with the sum of volume under each of the unit
hydrographs confirms the success of curve fitting. V14.5 has also been expanded
to allow:
- Assessment of the given unit hydrograph data on selective
month or annual average
- Coverage of the full range of standard unit hydrograph
property data during the analysis process
- Comparison graphing of any RDII variables
- Comparison graphing of multiple analysis results to enable
users to analyze runs from various sewershed areas
V14.5 also features an
enhanced version of the latest USEPA SWMM5 engine with greatly improved
performance and capabilities. It enables users to analyze and rank solutions
using various statistical methods and provides the ten best (optimal) solution
sets for result ranking and selection. It also allows users to conduct multiple
runs within an analysis for parameter and criteria evaluation as well as
multiple analyses for different sewershed areas and rainfalls within an RDII-Analyst project for
scenario comparison. Users now have the ability to filter out a period of flow
and rainfall data for the RDII analysis, dynamically eliminate any
storms/events prior to analysis, and save and load analysis results. These
comprehensive capabilities offer an effective means for designing a focused
sewer condition assessment program and maximizing the success of field
investigation efforts. They also provide an effective means for assessing the
post-rehabilitation performance of the sewer system using the pre- and
post-sewer capacity analysis.
“Innovyze continues to
listen to our customers, invest very heavily in R&D, and deliver the
advanced tools they need to effectively support their wastewater and urban
drainage modeling and management challenges,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D.,
BCEEM, Hon.D.WRE, Dist.D.NE, Dist.M.ASCE, NAE, Chief Executive Officer of
Innovyze. “We are very excited that our vast worldwide customer base will now
be able to use the powerful new features in RDII
Analyst to enhance their modeling experiences, wrap better projects
faster, and strengthen our communities’ sewer systems.”
