Explainable Wastewater Digital Twins: Adaptive Context-Conditioned Structured Simulators with Self-Falsifying Decision Support

Operators of safety-critical industrial processes increasingly rely on digital twins to screen control interventions, but such simulators rarely carry certified safety guarantees. Wastewater treatment plants exemplify the gap: operators face a daily safety-efficiency trade-off where aerating too little risks effluent violations and nitrous-oxide (N2O) spikes, and aerating too much wastes energy. We develop an explainable digital twin for aeration and dosing setpoints. CCSS-IX, the simulator, is a bank of interpretable locally linear state-space "experts" adaptively mixed by a context-aware gating network, building on a continuous-time regime-switching scaffold. A runtime decision layer applies conformal risk control to abstain, reopen, or return a falsifying temporal witness for any operator-proposed action that cannot be statistically certified. The artificial-intelligence contribution is twofold: an identifiable, context-conditioned structured surrogate that retains operator-readable dynamics, and a self-falsifying decision rule with finite-sample coverage guarantees. The engineering contribution is a validated, end-to-end decision-support pipeline, tested on a 1000-step slice of the Avedøre full-scale plant (42.6% sensor missingness, 2-minute sampling), the Agtrup/BlueKolding full-scale plant in Denmark, and the Benchmark Simulation Model No. 2 (BSM2) international benchmark, under a matched ten-seed protocol. The static structured ensemble lies within 0.78% root-mean-square error of an unconstrained black-box reference, and the adaptive variant within 1.08%. The calibrated reopen rule cuts aggregate two-plant regret by 43.6% at an unsafe-action cost weight of 4 and eliminates unsafe chosen actions on the BSM2 main slice. Event-aligned temporal witnesses prevent 93 of 187 false-safe N2O approvals, about 4.65x the dyadic baseline (paired McNemar p < 1e-21).
