UPWATER®
Monitoring
Parameters that are typically measured in the influent, effluent and biological tanks only by grab samples can be monitored and predicted continuously with high precision using the AIS digital tool. This will improve decision-making, as process disturbances will be detected more quickly.
Diagnosis
Wastewater treatment plants often take excessive corrective measures to mitigate process disturbances that can impact the performance of the biological process in the long-term. The AIS digital tool identifies cause-root effect of common disturbances and anticipates biological process disturbances by predicting variations in microbial performance.
Estimation
Operating costs with energy, chemicals and waste are estimated with the AIS digital tool. Waste valorisation indicators are also predicted to help wastewater treatment plants to decide on the potential for recovery of new bio-based products with their residues.
UPWATER® allows industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants to improve its economic and environmental sustainability by monitoring microbial performance and key performance indicators, detecting possible problems, often before they can be diagnosed by humans. It also elavuates the techno-economic viability of recover bioproducts from waste, including biogas, nutrients, bulk chemicals and bioplastics
UPWATER® helps companies to tune and adapt their treatment systems more effectively, with a proven experience in:
-
- Reduce energy consumption in aeration up to 50%
- Eliminate chemical precipitants dosage up to 100% with optimized biological phosphorus removal
- Reduce polymer dosage in the sludge line up to 20%
