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
