EXISTING PLANTS / DIGITAL PILOT

Make the plant
record useful.

Begin with the operating question and the records already available. Agree what a digital pilot can—and cannot—establish.

What to bring

Plant and process type; operator contact and access status.
Available timestamps, sampling cadence, units and sensor tags.
Feed, temperature, pH and gas-flow records, if measured.
Methane composition and laboratory VFA/ALK, TS/VS or COD, where available.
The operating question and known instrument limitations.

What we can scope together

A data-readiness and missing-information review.
A traceable historical replay and comparable forecast baseline.
A safe prospective measurement and operator-usability protocol.
Defined deliverables, limitations and acceptance criteria.
A reviewed next-step brief—not guaranteed performance.

A PROPOSED PILOT SEQUENCE

Measure before you scale.

The Seva First protocol proposes 90 days after access approval and resource confirmation. This is an example programme, not a guaranteed delivery date.

DAYS 01–07

Assess

Condition review, permissions, record schema and instrument quotations.

DAYS 08–21

Establish

Manual baseline and an operator walkthrough.

DAYS 22–60

Observe

Continue records; introduce approved measurements where feasible.

DAYS 61–90

Evaluate

Review quality, feasible baselines and readiness for another site.
