Stabilise treatment without adding operational complexity

Wastewater treatment relies on sensitive biological and physico-chemical processes where pollutant load, aeration, recirculation and energy balance directly impact treatment performance and operational stability.

Even minor deviations can lead to reduced efficiency, increased energy consumption or non-compliance with discharge standards.

Indao transforms data from biological basins, physico-chemical treatment, sludge lines and utilities into reliable operational indicators and concrete recommendations.

Why wastewater treatment is different

Living and dynamic processes where environmental performance and energy control must remain aligned.

Sensitive biological processes

Biomass activity strongly depends on aeration, incoming load and operating conditions

High variability of influent

Flows and pollutant loads continuously fluctuate, impacting stability and treatment performance

High energy intensity

Aeration, pumping and sludge management represent a major share of energy consumption

The challenges you face

  • Biological stability: maintain biomass balance despite load variations
  • Treatment performance: meet COD, BOD, nitrogen and phosphorus targets under variable conditions
  • Energy & aeration: optimise oxygen supply and limit overconsumption
  • Sludge management: control volumes, recirculation and dewatering performance
  • Regulatory compliance: ensure discharge quality and maintain robust traceability

The limits of your current tools

  • Control often based on spot measurements rather than a dynamic process view
  • Difficulty linking effluent quality with real operating conditions
  • Data fragmented across supervision, laboratory and energy systems
  • Aeration settings often oversized for safety
  • Limited tools to anticipate biological drifts before compliance is impacted

What Indao delivers in practice

We design advanced analytics solutions that genuinely improve wastewater treatment performance, with AI as a support : explainable, controlled and field-oriented.

Real-time tracking of key parameters (dissolved oxygen, load, recirculation, retention time) within actual operating conditions
Continuous estimation of pollutant load and biological performance based on process data
Analysis of interactions between influent load, aeration and effluent quality to identify optimisation levers
Identification of overconsumption and adjustment of control strategies to reduce energy use without compromising performance
Structured historisation of operating conditions to support compliance analysis and audits
Seamless connection to existing systems (SCADA, process instrumentation, laboratory, energy monitoring) without disrupting operations
