KinetiRO Sim is a wastewater plant designer and simulator that runs in your browser. The equations are published and cited by source. We sell no equipment and take nothing from anyone who does.
KinetiRO is a software company. It has one product: KinetiRO Sim.
It is founder-led and it is small. Rather than imply a headcount that would collapse at the first email, here is the number that matters to you: we take on five engagements at a time. When we are full we say so and give you a date.
We do not take design liability
We offer the tool, not the end design. Nothing this software produces is a design issued by an engineer, and no output of it carries anyone's professional stamp but yours. That is not a disclaimer bolted onto the terms; it is what the company is. A simulator is an instrument, and the engineer holding it is answerable for what they do with it.
We do not perform diagnostics, sampling or laboratory work. If you need your water characterised before you can use this tool properly, you need a laboratory and an engineer, and that is not us.
Eduardo Saucedo, B.S. Environmental Engineering. He wrote KinetiRO Sim, and before that he spent his career designing water and wastewater treatment for the Mexican market — first at Domos Agua / Hydrazul, part of Gentor, then at Rotoplas Servicios de Agua.
He holds a cédula profesional. The number is not published here; it is available on request.
That order matters more than it looks. The tool was not written by a software company that hired a process consultant to check it. It was written by the person who had been doing the sizing by hand, in spreadsheets, for real plants, and who knew which corners of the calculation actually decide a design and which ones nobody looks at. The measured TKN reaching the model, the aerobic sludge age reported separately from the total, the element-by-element march instead of a rejection percentage — those are not features chosen from a competitor's list. They are the things that had gone wrong on real jobs.
He is an environmental engineer who believes a better world is possible through water treatment. The industry's demand for specialised treatment is one of the larger environmental risks there is, and as discharge law tightens, the solutions have to get better and more optimised rather than merely larger. The ambition is to put an optimised, high-quality answer in reach of industry and of municipalities — including the ones who cannot afford a consultant to tell them what their existing plant is capable of.
And underneath it, the thing that actually keeps someone writing a solver at night: he fell in love with the engineering itself. Bringing to life a solution that did not exist before, and that solves the customer's problem at its source, is worth doing for its own sake.
What that means commercially, said plainly so nobody has to guess
This is a business and it will charge money. The price is not set yet — KinetiRO Sim is in beta and the figure will be published before it ends, with no quote to request. The conviction is about what the software should be for, not about whether it is sold: the free plan calculates without limit because an operator or a student checking a number should not have to pay us, and the paid plan exists because a firm issuing a document it will be held to is a different customer with a different need.
What each plan includesChecked equation by equation against Metcalf & Eddy 5th edition and IWA STR No. 9, including the twelve things it found wrong in our own code and the four still listed as not done.
The verification recordCompiled to WebAssembly, so a flowsheet under a non-disclosure agreement is not uploaded to us to be solved.
How it calculatesA standard construction rather than a home-made one — and, before it has even shipped, a page saying exactly what it will not protect you from. Sealing is still being built.
What sealed files will doA company this size that has done those three things is telling you something specific about how it works, and none of it requires us to look bigger than we are.
Kinetics, and reverse osmosis. Biology and membranes — the two halves of what the tool models. It is the only invented word here and it will stay the only one.
KinetiRO and KinetiRO Sim are unregistered marks. We have not filed, and we are not going to print a symbol claiming otherwise.
