Claim 0:
1. A method of dosing optimization for a chemical feed unit receiving at least one input water source and producing at least one output solution, the method comprising:
generating signals from a plurality of online sensors, the signals corresponding to directly measured variables for respective process components;
transmitting data to a remote server, the data corresponding to the directly measured variables for each of the respective components;
iteratively developing, and storing in 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;
upon receiving, at the remote server, a current combination of input variables directly measured in real-time, selectively retrieving from data storage information from at least one of the one or more models relating to the current combination of input variables;
predicting, at the remote server, 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
automatically generating from the remote server an output feedback signal 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.
