Digital Twin for Treatment Plants
A digital twin for plant O&M—driving energy and chemical savings, recommending optimal settings, enabling predictive maintenance, reducing compliance risk, and supporting troubleshooting, training, and collaboration in dynamic conditions.

The Challenge
Operators are overburdened. Systems are complex. Opportunities go unseen.
Many treatment plants rely on complex processes and institutional knowledge that often disappears with staff retirements. With tightening regulations and rising O&M costs, utilities need more than SCADA—they need a real-time digital twin that guides every operator to make smarter, faster decisions.
$180B
Per year required to maintain U.S. water wastewater operations.
50%
Of total operating costs are tied to pumping, energy, chemicals and sludge management.
30B
Kilowatt-hours consumed annually by U.S. treatment plants, costing $2.7 billion.
5x
Wastewater contains five times more energy than what is needed to treat it.
Challenges your peers have addressed with APOLLO™:
- High energy and chemical costs
- Loss of operator knowledge
- Unexpected equipment failures
- Slow, inconsistent troubleshooting
- Compliance tracking issues
- Manual process inefficiencies
The Opportunity
Rapid ROI and capital flexibility.
With APOLLO™, utilities gain a true operations copilot—one that learns, adapts, and advises. From real-time savings to long-term planning, APOLLO™ helps teams manage by exception, avoid trial-and-error tuning, and drive systemic efficiency without compromising compliance.
Rapid ROI
18 to 24 months payback. In addition, every $1 saved creates $8 to $10 in capital flexibility.
Data integrations
Works with your existing SCADA and LIMS/WIMS.
Smart digital advisors
APOLLO has built-in advisors that provide optimal guidance for each stage of treatment.
Knowledge capture
Retains SOPs, operator insight, and historical context to future-proof your team.

Having real-time analytics beyond what SCADA gives us is a game changer for senior management and operations staff.

Who we help
APOLLO™ supports everyone in your plant—not just the SCADA screen.
Directors
APOLLO™ helps directors make confident, data-informed decisions that align with permit goals, budget constraints, and treatment targets. It transforms raw data into actionable insights—ensuring directors have a pulse on every key metric without the noise.

Engineers
APOLLO™ equips engineers with powerful tools to evaluate treatment unit efficiencies, calibrate control strategies, and test the impact of operational changes before implementation. With predictive modeling and process simulations, engineers can drive innovation and improve resiliency.

Utility Operators
APOLLO™ acts as a digital co-pilot, providing operators with continuous feedback on process conditions and intelligent guidance for adjustments. Whether it's DO levels, chemical dosing, or blower settings, APOLLO™ ensures optimal results with minimal guesswork.

Maintenance Technicians
APOLLO™’s predictive maintenance insights highlight emerging equipment issues before they cause disruptions. Technicians can focus resources on high-risk assets and schedule interventions proactively, enhancing reliability and reducing costly emergencies.

Asset Managers & Finance
With APOLLO™, asset and finance leaders can understand how treatment performance connects to lifecycle costs, deferred maintenance, and capital allocation. The result? Smarter investments and defensible funding strategies.

Compliance Officers & Environmental Managers
APOLLO™ provides early warnings on permit limit trends, tracks nutrient removal effectiveness, and generates defensible reports. It gives compliance officers peace of mind and enables a proactive, not reactive, approach to environmental stewardship.
