Result description
Reduced energy consumption between 10-20% in the largest wastewater treatment plant of Portugal (for a wastewater pump system of 500 kW).
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- Business Angels
- Venture Capital
- Other type of Investment
We have a patent pending (WO2020161624, https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2020161624) and we are looking for investers or water/wastewater companies interested in proof of concept activities. Main advantages:
Energy efficiency – the data-driven approach followed by the ePredator leads to major cost savings;
Safety – by forecasting the inflow, ePredator is ready to avoid extreme scenarios with high risk of overflow or that lead to high energy consumption;
Compatible with standard technology – ePredator reads data and can be deployed on top of the already used SCADA system;
Works with real-world data – in opposition to other technologies that use physical models, the ePredator automatically consider in its predictions and actions events such as pump maintenance, malfunction, or pipe clogging.
- Private Investors
R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
Software integrated with legacy systems (e.g. SCADA) and demonstrated in a wasterwater treatement station in Portugal.
Compatible with standard technology – ePredator reads data and can be deployed on top of the already used SCADA system.
Works with real-world data – in opposition to other technologies that use physical models, the ePredator automatically consider in its predictions and actions events such as pump maintenance, malfunction, or pipe clogging.
It delivers energy savings to wastewater treatement and water distribution businesses in an area that represents around 60% of OPEX. Since the replication potential is high, it can be deployed in multiple water/wastewater stations and countries.
