WatPro

WatPro, developed by Hydromantis, is an exceptional tool in the Photo & Graphics category, particularly under the 3D Design subcategory. The software is currently in its latest version, 4.0, and comes in several executable file names: javaw.exe, watpro.exe, and Watpro2.exe. It is compatible with a wide range of Windows operating systems including Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11.

The program's main strength lies in its comprehensive water treatment simulation capabilities. It uses a variety of raw water quality parameters such as pH, TOC, and SUVA, along with the design and operating characteristics of process tanks, to simulate plant operations effectively. One of the standout features of WatPro is its user-friendly interface, which allows users to configure a water treatment plant schematic in just minutes.

WatPro enables users to calculate Turbidity Reductions by both Process and Whole Facility, determine the Specific UV Absorbance (SUVA) in raw water, and utilize new utilities like a calculator, file recall, and notepad. Enhanced reporting and calibration options have been added, making it easier to model CLO2 disinfection, consumption, and DBP formation.

Available as a Demo license, WatPro provides significant features for those dealing with water treatment simulation. The ability to view results on-screen, print them in a user-formatted hard copy, or save them for further electronic processing provides versatility in data handling.

Moreover, the program is efficient in handling various components of water treatment, including flocculation tanks, settling tanks, channels, filters, membrane processes, granular activated carbon, contact chambers, clear wells, and reservoirs.

For users interested in exploring water treatment simulations, they can download the free demo version of WatPro to get a feel of its capacity before committing to a full purchase.
