IUS OPTIMA is an innovation project co-funded by the Region of Puglia's call for proposals “Aid to Support Regional Technology Clusters for Innovation.”
The project involved the development of a technological platform for decision support and operation of wastewater treatment plants, which complies with the requirements of “Industry 4.0.”
IUS OPTIMA provides for the optimization of plant management by integrating in the cloud hydraulic, process and electrical measurements of the plant with data on the operation of the sewer and final discharge, as well as forecasts of industrial inputs and weather events.
The use of such data integrated into process modeling and forecasting systems allows for the optimization of the plant management, combining energy savings and efficiency of wastewater processes.
