Digital innovation ensures Dutch WWTP meets EU effluent standards

The Ede wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in the Netherlands, operated by Waterschap Vallei en Veluwe, serves a 300,000 population equivalent. Facing increased load and anticipated growth of 20%, the plant was struggling to meet EU effluent standards.

To avoid the need for a third process line, our experts implemented Hubgrade Wastewater Plant Performance, our digital solution for real-time process optimization.

Implemented in 2011, Hubgrade leverages our expertise together with live data, analytics and artificial intelligence to provide automated real-time performance optimization for the treatment plant.

As a result, Hubgrade gives operators peace of mind by increasing compliance while reducing their carbon footprint and operating costs.

By leveraging Hubgrade, the Ede WWTP overcame capacity challenges, met regulatory requirements by ensuring compliance effluent below the EU’s quality standards, and improved its sustainability credentials while avoiding the need for extensive infrastructure investments.
