OnGuard™ WW Control System

A holistic, performance-based approach to monitoring and controlling wastewater treatment programs.

As wastewater regulations become more stringent and operational costs continue to rise, industrial facilities face increasing pressure to optimize wastewater treatment performance. Variations in production processes, flow rates and wastewater composition can make it difficult to maintain consistent treatment efficiency while controlling chemical consumption and reducing discharge-related costs. Traditional manual adjustments often leave operators reacting to changing conditions rather than proactively managing them.

Solenis’ proprietary OnGuard™ WW control system provides a smarter approach to wastewater treatment management by combining advanced sensing technology, automated chemical control and cloud-based performance visibility. Designed for primary wastewater treatment and raw water applications, the system continuously monitors process conditions and automatically adjusts coagulant and flocculant dosing to help facilities improve treatment performance, enhance compliance and optimize chemical usage.

Backed by Solenis wastewater expertise, the system enables operators to move beyond manual process adjustments and adopt a more stable, connected and data-driven approach to wastewater management.

The OnGuard™ WW control system offers the following benefits:

  • Improved wastewater treatment performance and discharge compliance
  • Reduced process variability and more consistent operation
  • Optimized coagulant and flocculant consumption
  • Lower wastewater surcharges and operating costs
  • Real time visibility and data insights into wastewater system performance
  • Reduced operator involvement and manual adjustment requirements

 

Key Technologies

The OnGuard™ WW control system combines multiple technologies into a single integrated platform for wastewater treatment optimization.

At the core of the system are two self-cleaning sensors that continuously monitor incoming and treated water conditions. These measurements are processed through proprietary Solenis control logic that evaluates treatment performance and automatically adjusts chemical dosing in response to changing wastewater characteristics.

This continuous feedback approach enables treatment programs to respond more effectively to variations in flow, solids loading and process conditions than traditional manual control methods. By combining monitoring, control and performance visibility in one solution, facilities gain greater control over wastewater treatment operations while improving overall process consistency.

 

Advanced Automation

The OnGuard™ WW control system brings advanced automation capabilities to primary wastewater treatment processes.

Using real-time process measurements and proprietary control algorithms, the system automatically adjusts coagulant and flocculant feed rates to maintain optimal treatment performance. This automated approach helps minimize over-dosing and under-dosing, improving chemical efficiency while supporting more stable treatment results.

Unlike traditional wastewater programs that rely heavily on operator intervention, OnGuard™ WW system continuously evaluates process conditions and responds automatically to changing wastewater loads. The result is improved operational consistency, reduced manual workload and greater confidence that treatment objectives are being maintained throughout the day.

 

Digital Solutions

The OnGuard™ WW control system can share data with Solenis™ Cloud, providing 24/7 access to real-time wastewater treatment performance data. Through cloud connectivity, operators and technical teams gain continuous visibility into key process conditions, treatment efficiency and chemical control performance.

Technical dashboards aggregate operational and treatment data into a centralized platform, making it easier to monitor performance, identify trends and support faster decision-making. Historical data and visualization tools help facilities investigate process upsets, optimize treatment programs and demonstrate long-term performance improvements.

By combining automated control with the power of Solenis Cloud, the OnGuard™ WW system supports a more connected, data-driven approach to wastewater management.
