Case Study: a large west coast utility speeds PFAS treatment planning with Transcend Design Generator

a large west coast utility speeds PFAS planning 33% with Transcend

A large West Coast utility faced the challenge of planning PFAS treatment for ten different groundwater wells with varying flow rates and site constraints. With limited internal engineering resources and a tight capital program, the utility needed a faster, more efficient alternative to traditional, slow consultant studies. They turned to Transcend and implemented its solution, the Transcend Design Generator (TDG), using the Drinking Water PFAS module.

By using Transcend's TDG, the utility could internally screen and compare treatment options across all ten sites simultaneously. The solution generated conceptual designs with capital and operational cost estimates, incorporating the unique constraints of each location. This approach resulted in a 33% faster planning timeline, a 74% lower cost per site for conceptual screening, and allowed the utility to evaluate three times more treatment alternatives.
