Field of application

Optimization of wastewater networks and treatment plants with artificial intelligence

Purecontrol optimizes wastewater treatment in real-time. Reduce aeration time by 25%, phosphorus removal chemichals by 50%, and mitigate N₂O emissions.
Our system also dynamically adjusts pumping in lift-stations according to the weather to limit overflows.

With proven expertise on more than 300 sites, Purecontrol improves the performance of your facilities effectively, to reduce your consumption and your impact without investing in equipment.

Wastewater facilities

AI-based control is a game changer to improve wastewater treatment efficiency

The aim of a wastewater network is to treat wastewater with the least possible impact onthe environment. But the performance of the wastewater treatment process is subject to a number of influencing factors: incoming load, rainfall and temperature. In addition, the consumption of aerators in the tanks accounts for60% of a plant's energy expenditure. 

Purecontrol's artificial intelligence algorithms have the capacity to take into account multiple influencing factors. Given the complexity of quality issues and business constraints, Purecontrol simplifies the operational management of your facilities.

Optimizing aeration
cycles

The Purecontrol solution makes it possible to reduce the operating costs of air blowers by an average of 15%. The result is a reduction in energy consumption and carbon footprint while complying with discharge standards in all circumstances.

Reduction of phosphorus removal chemicals

The Purecontrol solution reduces the use of chemicals for phosphorus removal by up to 50%. By prioritizing the biological elimination of phosphorus, it ensures better compliance with discharge limits, thus reducing the environmental impact.

Dynamic management of
lift stations

We enable dynamic management of wastewater collection networks, adapting pumping according to weather forecasts to reduce overflows and environmental risks. Our control reduces costs by favouring the most efficient pumps.

Mitigating N₂O emissions
in WWTP

In partnership with Cobalt Water, our solution controls aeration in real-time to reduce N₂O emissions. This greenhouse gas, 300 times more harmful than CO2, is managed effectively, limiting the environmental impact of your WWTP.

Maximization of
self-consumption

Purecontrol analyzes and predicts on-site energy production (solar, biogas, etc.) and controls equipment to maximize self-consumption.

Purecontrol facilitates the work of our agents, saves them time and provides better control of operations. This results in energy savings, optimized management of chemical inputs and increased discharge stability.

Hypervision solution

Access all the key indicators for monitoring your site in real-time, ensuring smooth and untroubled control of your operation. Benefit from an accurate predictive vision, anticipating future operating hours and providing the associated control instructions.

Ex. Planning of aeration cycles dynamically optimized according to NH4 loads, electrical rates and carbon intensity of energy.

Benefit from multi-objective predictive management:

Power disaggregation

Purecontrol makes it possible to obtain the energy profile of each equipment without a sub-meter, then to continuously monitor their consumption and efficiency.

Predictive maintenance

Detect anomalies in equipment behaviour early to anticipate failures and alert operators before any impact on the system or production continuity.

Generation of soft sensors

When sites are not equipped with adequate probes, we develop virtual sensors based on available data, offering at a lower cost a reliability that is almost equivalent to a direct measurement.

Maximizing self-consumption

Purecontrol analyzes and predicts energy production on site (solar, biogas, etc.) and controls equipment to maximize self-consumption.

Energy mix and decarbonization

To reduce the carbon impact of your energy consumption, Purecontrol plans management by focusing on low-carbon periods.

Process prediction

Our ability to predict the evolution of processes allows us to finely regulate the start-up of equipment, and consumption (water, reagents, biological inputs, etc.)

Stabilization of quality

While the default settings are often static and excessively cautious, our ability to predict and control allows us to obtain optimal quality and regulatory compliance without excessive consumption.

Taking into account external data

Weather, energy prices, carbon intensity of electricity supplied by the network,... We adjust the control as close as possible to your constraints.

Holistic and contextual management

Our algorithms are designed to take into account influencing factors external to the site or to the controlled processes, such as: multi-site load management, demand fluctuation, or the realization of arbitrations.
