Animations help eliminate confusion and clearly depict how a particular process or facility is intended to work. Animations of various treatment processes (e.g., conventional activated sludge systems, sequencing batch reactors, five-stage biological nutrient removal processes, and complex hydraulic systems) help people better understand them.

Given tools currently available to digital graphic artists, animation development is relatively straightforward and inexpensive. Effort and costs are justified by the ease with which viewers understand project design.

Animation can also be invaluable during the construction phase. The transportation industry often uses animation at public meetings to illustrate a project at various stages of construction; as a result, attendees typically feel much better informed about a project. These animations can be linked to the PCN as hypertext, if the animation file is present on a shared network drive or intranet, or linked directly onto an HMI display for immediate access by operators.
