Problem
Industrial wastewater treatment facilities face challenges in maintaining optimal microbial health and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels, leading to inefficiencies, increased energy consumption, and potential compliance issues. Traditional monitoring methods often lack real-time data and the ability to adapt to dynamic changes in wastewater composition and load.
Solution
UrbanBlue Technologies offers an AI-driven automated microbial management system designed to optimize wastewater treatment processes. The system utilizes real-time data from high-precision sensors to monitor key parameters of Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS) health and DO levels. A custom computer vision model, trained on millions of wastewater microbial images, accurately detects microbial formations and quality indicators. The system's wastewater recommendation engine provides tailored, actionable insights for aeration adjustments and nutrient dosing, enabling proactive management, improved efficiency, and cost savings.
Target Audience
UrbanBlue's primary customers are industrial wastewater treatment facilities seeking to optimize operational efficiency, reduce energy costs, and ensure regulatory compliance.
