Circular Water Solution LLC is an engineering consulting firm that was founded by Dr. Jinghua “Jing” Xiao in 2023. Circular Water Solution focuses on helping water utilities and industrial clients to increase efficiency and decrease risk. Dr. Xiao has over 15 years of engineering experience at investor-owned water utilities where she focused on capital planning, resolving compliance issues, optimizing operational efficiencies, and enhancing overall customer satisfaction. This experience, partnered with her adventurous spirit, made opening her consulting firm a logical next step in her career.
Like many small business owners just opening their doors, there are countless decisions to be made. For Circular Water Solution, one of the decisions was which software to use for water distribution system modeling. Xiao knew that she needed dependable, easy-to-use software to get her business up and running.
OpenFlows Water was the obvious choice for Xiao because many utilities in her area already use it, as well as that she had many years of experience with it. Her experience included using Water for system planning, pipe/tank/pump station design, water quality compliance, operation support, and emergency response. Bentley’s OpenFlows was the only solution that could both comply with local utilities and allow Xiao to leverage her past knowledge to its full capabilities.
Dr. Xiao found that Bentley was incredibly straightforward and supportive during her purchasing process. Bentley introduced various licensing options, helping Jing decide which license type would get her the most for her money–a key consideration for a new business. Along with the help of her Bentley product sales engineer, Xiao decided on a Virtuosity subscription. With the ease of installation and license management, she was able to have the software up and running the day after payment.
With Water in place, Xiao was able to begin providing hydraulic modeling services to her clients, helping her jumpstart her business and get right into working on projects. Xiao used OpenFlows Water to save time in her modeling process. She can deliver results faster to her clients and use the leftover time to further develop her business.
As Circular Water Solution continues to grow, Xiao is excited to continue using Water to best meet the needs of her clients, help consistently deliver high-quality results, and build lasting relationships.
