Water and Environment · Sewage Treatment Operator Management Software

One record for the works, the samples, the sludge and the pump stations.

Manage operator rounds, process readings, samples and laboratory results, discharge limits from your consent or permit, tanker receiving, sludge haulage, chemical dosing, pump stations and maintenance in one system. Each plant keeps a dated record. The operator, the laboratory and the compliance manager all read it, so a consent return is drawn from entries made on the day and not rebuilt from a logbook. Nothing is retyped.

  • Process areas, sample points and consent parameters entered as your plant is permitted
  • Pump station list, asset register and open work orders loaded
  • Edits to checklists and limits handled by GullySystem staff when asked

Works and pump stations keep operator rounds, samples, consent limits, tanker loads, sludge movements and repairs together, configured by GullySystem for your permit. Each plant carries dated readings and laboratory results against its discharge limits. Chemical dosing and pump repairs sit beside the readings, and each return is drawn from what operators logged at the time.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Rounds are written, not searchable

Operators note dissolved oxygen, sludge blanket depth and blower status in a bound book. A trend over three weeks cannot be read without turning every page. That takes hours.

Samples are not tied to the process day

A composite from the outfall is cut, labelled and sent away. When the result returns it is filed by date only, with no view of the flow or aeration that preceded it. Causes stay hidden.

Consent limits are checked after the fact

The limit for each parameter sits in a permit document. Results are compared on a spreadsheet at month end, when an exceedance can no longer be investigated. It is too late.

Tankers discharge without a full record

A septage tanker backs up to the receiving point. Source, volume, load description and the haulier’s paperwork are written on a slip. Slips get lost.

The sludge balance does not close

Primary and waste activated sludge are thickened, digested or dewatered, and cake leaves by truck. Weights in and out are held in separate files and rarely agree. The gap stays open.

Preventive maintenance is not scheduled by hours

Blowers, return sludge pumps and screens are serviced when they fail. Run hours are read off a panel occasionally, and no task is due until something stops. Then it is a repair.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Round

    The operator opens the shift checklist for each process area and records readings, defects and chemical dosing settings from a phone. Rounds are dated.

  2. 2

    Receiving

    Septage tankers and any trade effluent loads are logged at the receiving point by source, volume and description before they discharge.

  3. 3

    Sampling

    Samplers cut composites and grab samples at the inlet, stages of treatment and the outfall. Each sample gets a number, a point and a time. Nothing is anonymous.

  4. 4

    Laboratory results

    Analysts enter results against the numbered sample. The system compares each value to the consent limit for that parameter.

  5. 5

    Sludge and screenings

    Cake and screenings are weighed out, with destination and manifest recorded, and the sludge balance is updated for the month.

  6. 6

    Reporting and upkeep

    Consent returns are drawn from the record. Defects from rounds and pump alarms become work orders that the technician closes.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Operator rounds

Shift checklists by process area for inlet works, clarifiers, aeration, blowers and disinfection, with readings and defects dated and kept.

Process readings and trends

Dissolved oxygen, sludge blanket depth, return rate and inflow are plotted by day so a drift is visible before a sample fails.

Sample register

Number each composite and grab sample, record the point, time and sampler, and follow it to the laboratory and back.

Laboratory results

Enter BOD, suspended solids, ammonia, phosphorus and other results against the sample, with the method and analyst noted.

Discharge consent tracking

Hold limits per parameter and per outfall, flag values near or over them, and keep the investigation notes with the result.

Septage and tanker receiving

Log each tanker by source, volume, load description and charge, with haulier licence details and manifest number.

Sludge and screenings haulage

Record cake and screenings loads by weight, destination and manifest, and close the sludge balance for each month.

Chemical dosing store

Receive polymer, ferric and disinfectant deliveries, issue them to dosing points and read use against flow treated.

Pump station register

List stations with their pumps, wet well levels, run hours and alarm history, and hold each visit’s findings.

Maintenance and work orders

Schedule preventive tasks by date and run hours, raise work orders from defects and alarms, and record parts and time.

Complaints and incident log

Record odour, noise and blockage complaints with location, time and the action taken, and link them to the plant or station involved.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Task Management

    Each process area has a checklist with an owner and a due shift, so inlet works, clarifiers and blowers are signed off every round.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    A numbered composite or grab sample carries its point, time and sampler, and is followed from the bottle to the result that describes it.

  • Quality Control

    Each result is entered with its method and checked against the consent limit for that parameter, with values near the limit flagged.

  • Workflow and Approvals

    An exceedance is held for review, the investigation note is written, and the compliance manager approves the explanation before it is released to the return.

  • Work Order Management

    Defects from rounds and alarms become work orders for a named technician, with parts and time recorded when the task is closed.

  • Asset AMC Tracking

    Each station’s pumps, run hours, warranty dates and service calendar are held on one record, so contract visits and preventive tasks fall due on time.

  • Stock Tracking and Alerts

    Polymer, ferric and disinfectant are received and issued by dosing point, and a low balance raises an alert before a delivery is needed.

  • Ticket Management

    A numbered ticket opens for each odour or blockage complaint with its location, owner and promised time, and closes with the action taken.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For plant managers

Read consents, sludge balance, chemical use and open work orders by plant and by month, with the notes behind each exceedance.

For operators

Fill rounds on a phone, log tankers and cake loads, and see which samples are due. No paper.

For laboratory analysts

Receive numbered samples, enter results with the method and release them against the consent.

For maintenance technicians

See pump station alarms and due tasks, record the repair and close the work order on site.

For compliance managers

Check results against limits, keep the investigation notes and prepare the return your regulator asks for.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Results against consent limits by parameter and outfall
  • Samples due, taken and awaiting results
  • Sludge produced, hauled and balanced by month
  • Tankers received by source, volume and charge
  • Chemical delivered and used against flow treated
  • Pump station alarms, run hours and repairs
  • Complaints by type, location and action taken
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Operators of municipal and private sewage treatment works
  • Contractors that run plants under a long-term operation agreement
  • Industrial estates and housing developments with their own treatment plant
  • Companies that run pump stations and sewer networks
  • Septage treatment plants that receive tanker loads
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A site with one small septic tank serviced yearly needs a calendar, not plant software.
  • A works that treats and supplies drinking water, rather than receiving sewage and sludge, will find Water Treatment Company Management Software a better match.
Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Process areas and checklists

The inlet works, basins and clarifiers are entered as your plant is built, and each gets the checklist your operators already use.

Consent parameters

Every parameter, limit and sampling frequency from your discharge permit is entered, and reviewed with your own staff.

Sample points and methods

Sample points, bottle types and laboratory methods follow the practice of your own laboratory or contractor.

Regulator return

The layout your regulator expects is built from the record, and checked against a return you have already filed.

Units and local rules

Units, currency, tax and permit terms are set per country and reviewed during implementation.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Does it control the pumps or the dosing?

No. It records what operators and instruments report. Control of pumps and dosing stays with your own control system.

Can several treatment works and pump stations sit in one account?

Yes. Each works and station keeps its own rounds, assets and samples. Managers read them together or one by one.

How are consent limits applied?

You enter the limit, unit and sampling frequency for each parameter at each outfall. A result near or above the limit is flagged on entry.

Can we log tankers and charge for them?

Yes. A tanker load records source, volume and description, and a charge can be set per load or per volume and invoiced from the record.

What about sludge going to different destinations?

Each load carries its destination and manifest. Totals by farm, landfill or incinerator are read monthly, and the balance shows what was produced and what left.

Can operators use it without a network on site?

Not fully offline. Where signal at a basin or a remote station is weak, entries are made once the operator reaches coverage, and the time of the reading is noted.

Is the laboratory result history kept?

Yes. Every result stays with its sample, its method and the analyst, so a trend over years is readable and an audit starts from the record.

Who owns our plant records?

You do. Readings, samples and sludge movements leave in a layout you approve on paper before any build begins, so your regulator and your next contractor can both read them.

How is the price worked out?

Cost follows how many works and pump stations are covered, how many people log in, and which plant control exports are wanted. You first watch a demo built on your own sample points and consent parameters, and the quotation follows once you have seen it handle your readings.
