Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Implementation of a digital twin for wastewater treatment plants that uses AI to optimize chemical dosing and aeration in real-time based on influent load.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Process optimization at scale. Wastewater treatment uses massive amounts of energy (aeration) and chemicals. Hubgrade moves from static setpoints to dynamic AI control, delivering instant OpEx savings and capacity boosts."

warning The Challenge

Wastewater plants typically run on conservative, static setpoints to ensure compliance, leading to overdosing of chemicals and excessive energy use for aeration. Operators reacted to changes in sewage flow manually, often too late. Plant capacity was artificially limited by inefficient control.

psychology The Solution

Connected plant SCADA to the Hubgrade cloud. The AI analyzes historical data and real-time sensor inputs (ammonia, flow, chemical oxygen demand). It calculates the optimal setpoints for blowers and pumps every minute. It creates a 'virtual sensor' to predict parameters that are hard to measure physically.
