Compliance Rate

Water Treatment is Critical.

Water utilities and treatment plants operate under constant pressure — variable inlet quality, strict regulatory compliance requirements, high energy costs, and aging infrastructure. One process upset means potential violations, customer impact, and regulatory fines. Generic technology doesn't protect your operation.

See How We Solve It →

Variable Inlet Quality

Fluctuating influent characteristics make it difficult to maintain consistent treatment without over-dosing chemicals.

High Energy Consumption

Pumping, aeration and UV systems represent the largest operational cost — often running at fixed inefficient setpoints.

Regulatory Compliance Risk

Meeting effluent discharge limits requires real-time monitoring and fast process adjustments to avoid violations and fines.

Asset Reliability

Pump, blower and sensor failures cause treatment disruptions and can lead to compliance breaches if not anticipated early.

AI Solutions for Water Treatment.

End-to-end AI models for dosing optimization, energy management, quality prediction, and predictive maintenance across your entire treatment process.

Digital Transformation · MES

OneFactory MES

Real-time operations platform for water treatment — connecting influent data, dosing records, lab results, energy consumption and compliance reports in one system.

Process Optimization · Dosing

Chemical Dosing Optimizer

AI model that dynamically adjusts coagulant, flocculant and disinfectant dosing based on real-time influent quality — reducing chemical cost by up to 20%.

Energy Savings · Biological Treatment

Aeration Optimizer

Predictive control of dissolved oxygen setpoints and blower operation in biological treatment — cutting aeration energy by 15-25%.

Quality Prediction · Compliance

Effluent Quality Predictor

Real-time prediction of BOD, TSS, nitrogen and phosphorus in effluent — enabling proactive adjustments to ensure continuous regulatory compliance.

Predictive Maintenance · Assets

Predictive Maintenance

AI-driven health monitoring for pumps, blowers, membranes and UV systems — anticipating failures and optimizing maintenance intervals.

Energy Savings · Plant-Wide

Energy Management

Integrated energy optimization across pumping stations, treatment processes and SCADA — reducing total kWh per m³ treated.

Get More from Your Treatment Plant with Smarter AI.

ECON Tech's models are built specifically for water treatment — not generic AI adapted for utilities. Here's what that difference means for your operation.

Real-Time AI Recommendations

Operators receive live dosing guidance, not reports after the fact.

Hybrid Models — Not Black Boxes

Every model combines machine learning with process expertise. Your team understands why the AI decides.

20+ Years in Process Industries

Deep expertise with water utilities in Mexico and LATAM — not just generic water tech.

Seamless SCADA Integration

Deploys on your existing SCADA, MES and sensors. No rip-and-replace.

Full Treatment Chain Coverage

One partner for intake to discharge — screening, aeration, treatment, UV, discharge.

Operator-First Interface

Bilingual dashboards (ES/EN) designed for operators — not data scientists. Maximum adoption from day one.

Real Treatment Plants. Real Results.

Dosing Optimization · Chemical Savings

−20% Chemical Cost at Drinking Water Plant

A municipal water plant was over-dosing coagulants due to variable inlet quality — wasting chemicals and increasing sludge. ECON Tech's Chemical Dosing Optimizer analyzed influent data in real-time and dynamically adjusted dosing, cutting chemical costs while maintaining effluent quality.
