What is Platos Process Planner? Software
Platos Process Planner is a PC-based
software that allows users to model and
optimize wet manufacturing processes to
evaluate effective pollution prevention and
control alternatives. Plato helps users
model process options related to

• Rinsing Requirements
• Solution Maintenance
• Rejuvenation Options
• Water Usage

• Energy Requirements
• Wastewater Treatment and Recycling

Plato Features

• Easy to use hierarchy trees, menus and icon
  buttons
• Wizards, process and solution libraries, copy and
  import functions, and default values make
  facility modeling easy
• Graphical display shows line and process
  sequences
• Reports at facility, process, and tank levels
  provide detailed documentation
