This study introduces an automated test bench designed to optimize flocculation-thickening processes in the wastewater treatment industry. Addressing current challenges in operational efficiency and cost reduction, the test bench employs Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles, leveraging SysML modeling within the CESAM framework. By integrating advanced technologies, including PLC programming and a closed-loop control system, this bench provides precise and efficient testing under varying operational conditions. Economic implications are explored, demonstrating the cost-effectiveness of optimized flocculation processes, which reduce chemical use and operational expenditures while enhancing water clarity and sludge management. The system’s 3D modeling enables detailed simulations, aiding in both research and pedagogical applications. This platform highlights the potential of MBSE in creating scalable, robust solutions that contribute to sustainable water management.
