Utilities: Wastewater Treatment Plant
Wastewater treatment plants, also called sewage treatment plants, play a critical role in helping cities maintain public health by treating wastewater. If they go down, biohazards can occur, including backed up sewage overflowing, contamination of waterways, and major public health implications.
The good news is Nanoprecise’s Energy-Centered Maintenance solutions are perfect for monitoring hard to reach and remote locations!
Industrial Wastewater Treatment Challenges
Limited Connectivity, Accessibility & Remote Monitoring
Wastewater treatment plants run 24/7 and can be in more remote locations. While larger plants will have staff onsite at all times, smaller plants are more likely to only have staff during the day and be on call after hours. Despite this, plants need a way to have visibility into what’s happening at all time.
Increased Focus on GHG and Carbon Emissions
As energy costs rise and there is increased focus on GHG emissions, wastewater treatment facilities, both public and private, must consider the resources their using and their environmental impact to answer to customers and constituents.
Condition Monitoring of Low Speed Machinery
For some of the most critical machines in the production line, condition monitoring can be difficult as many condition monitoring solutions are unable to measure less than 50 RPMs, yet the downtime and replacement costs can lead to some of the largest losses.
Contamination Prevention
The main role of a wastewater treatment plant is to prevent contamination from going through to other sources. If any equipment is broken, or running at suboptimal levels, the likelihood of contamination dramatically increases.
Solution: Energy-Centered Maintenance for Wastewater Plants
Remote Condition Monitoring
Our advanced technology ensures continuous equipment monitoring with real-time insights into machine health even in the most remote locations!
Energy Consumption Monitoring
The first indication something is wrong with a piece of equipment is an unprompted increase in energy consumption. Monitoring this provides maintenance teams with more time to plan and prioritize maintenance.
Low to High Speed Condition Monitoring
By analyzing both high- and low-speed data (ranging from 5 to 600 RPM), we deliver in-depth fault detection and provide timely alerts when issues arise.
Accurate Remaining Useful Life (RUL) Predictions
With accurate Remaining Useful Life (RUL) predictions, our AI algorithms analyze historical data, equipment conditions, and performance trends to forecast the remaining lifespan of critical components.

Case Study: More Visibility Into Excess Energy
Consumption Caused by a Transient Resonance Issue
A large water utility provider in the UK, with 40+ reservoirs, 300+ water pumping stations and 25,000+ km of water mains needed a solution to monitor their remote machinery.They knew their machinery would soon encounter problems, it was just a matter of where and when.
To gain visibility, they deployed our energy-centered predictive maintenance solution, throughout their critical infrastructure and quickly detected a resonance issue within one of the pumps. Learn what they did to take corrective action in the case study below!
