Claim 10:
11. A system dosing optimization in a chemical feed unit receiving at least one input water source and producing at least one output solution, the system comprising:
a plurality of online sensors, each of the online sensors configured to produce signals corresponding to directly measured variables for respective chemical feed unit components;
one or more communications devices functionally linked to the plurality of online sensors and configured to generate messages to one or more remote servers via a communications network, wherein the generated messages comprise data corresponding to the directly measured variables for each of the respective components;
the one or more remote servers comprising or functionally linked to a data storage, and configured to iteratively develop and retrievably store in the data storage one or more models relating combinations of input variables to respective process states in at least one of the chemical feed unit, the output solution, and the at least one input water source;
the one or more servers further configured to automatically
upon receiving a current combination of input variables directly measured in real-time, selectively retrieve information from at least one of the one or more models relating to the current combination of input variables,
predict a process state in at least one of the chemical feed unit, the output solution, and the at least one input water source, based on the information from at least one of the one or more models relating to the current combination of input variables, and
generate an output feedback signal via the one or more communications devices, corresponding to a detected intervention event associated with the predicted process state,

wherein a process actuator implements an automated intervention responsive to the output feedback signal.
