摘      要：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.
