Smart Optimisation of Wastewater Treatment

We make wastewater treatment plants run autonomously, for the cleanest water, at the lowest cost.

  • €100k–500ksaved per wastewater treatment plant / year
  • 20-50% lower discharge costs, stable & compliant process
  • 40-60% chemical use reduction
  • Up to 30% decreased sludge volume
  • No CapEx, flexible monthly subscription → immediate financial return

The Problem

Activate Otter Operator

Industrial wastewater treatment plants usually run on fixed settings, even though the incoming water is constantly changing. This mismatch results in unstable processes, inefficient cleaning, high costs, and compliance risks.

Otter Intelligence solves this by taking over control and applying the ideal “cocktail” of settings every minute, based on sensor data that is usually already available. No more manual intervention, just consistently clean water at the lowest possible cost.

Result: 30–40% lower operational costs (€100–500k/year per site), plus a smaller environmental footprint.

Applications

All chemically demanding wastewater treatment plants can be optimised by us, we have particular experience with DAF units in:

  • Food & Beverage

  • Dairy & Agri Processing

  • Tank Cleaning

  • Recycling

Our Roadmap

We are constantly pushing what data-driven optimisation can do in water treatment.

Now: Chemical-physical treatment

Next: Biological treatment + membranes
