Objective
Wastewater treatment plants are major contributors of greenhouse gasses emission and responsible for 1-2% of emissions worldwide. VARIO emission control is the first system that enables online monitoring of greenhouse gases (nitrous oxide and methane) and chemical pollutants in wastewater treatments plants. The VARIO solution measures relevant substances automatically and adjusts the wastewater plants aeration system via AI models. The technology combines sensorics (mass spectrometry) and data driven models (AI), for adjusting wastewater treatment process parameters. It does this in multiple aeration basins with one analyzer via its multiplexing capabilities to save costs for operators. By using VARIO the benefits for wastewater treatment plants are: 20% costs saving for energy and chemical consumption, as well as a tremendous reduction of emissions by up to 50%. For society, these savings are equivalent to millions of vehicles off the street or a 25% reduction in airline travel.
