Wastewater energy optimization

Lower plant energy intensity without compromising permit-safe operations.

Lumaq turns SCADA history, process constraints, and utility tariffs into operator-approved setpoint plans for aeration, pumping, and digestion energy use.

See the operating model Build a savings case

Permit-aware Recommendations stay inside plant limits and effluent quality guardrails.

Tariff-aware Plans account for demand charges, time-of-use windows, and peak events.

Operator-owned Every action is reviewed, explained, and tracked before it touches controls.

Load forecast 24h

Action queue 7

Guardrails OK

Influent Storm and diurnal forecast

Load changes feed the next 24 hours of energy plans.

Aeration DO setpoint envelope

Blower schedules stay inside biological safety bounds.

Pumping Lift station sequencing

Runtime is shifted away from expensive tariff windows.

Effluent Permit confidence check

Every plan carries a documented approval trail.

Optimization plan ready for shift lead review

Municipal firstBuilt for public procurement, capital cycles, and multi-stakeholder review.

Audit-readyExports plan rationale, override notes, and measurement records.

Energy-specificModels kWh, demand charges, standby assets, and tariff events.

Permit safeConstraints remain visible before recommendations reach operations.

One model, two buying committees

Make energy reduction operationally believable and procurement defensible.

Lumaq gives shift teams a clear decision queue while giving managers the documentation needed to fund, compare, and renew the program.

Operator approval stays between the model and the plant.

Recommendations are grouped by unit process, annotated with expected effect, and held for review. Operators can accept, defer, or override with the reason captured for later analysis.

Visible constraints for DO, ammonia, solids handling, pump starts, and basin availability.
Shift handoff notes that explain why the plan changed and what to watch next.
SCADA-aligned timestamps so control-room review matches the plant historian.

North basin aerationwithin guardrail

Lower evening DO target while maintaining nitrification confidence through the next load trough.

Lift station sequencereview peak

Pull run time ahead of the demand-charge window without exceeding wet well high-level limits.

Digester gas utilizationready

Schedule CHP export during tariff peak and preserve minimum heat balance for overnight operation.

Procurement gets a clean evidence package, not a black-box promise.

Each opportunity is framed with baseline assumptions, integration requirements, performance tracking, and risk notes so municipal teams can evaluate Lumaq with the same rigor as other capital or operating programs.

Baseline energy model with exclusions and meter mapping documented.
RFP-ready scope language for SCADA, historian, tariff, and cyber review.
Monthly M&V packet for budget owners and sustainability reporting.

Evaluation packetcomplete

Scope, integration checklist, savings methodology, and data access summary.

Budget alignmentfinance input

Map estimated avoided cost to utility account codes and operating budget calendar.

Renewal reviewtracked

Accepted actions, overrides, avoided demand peaks, and process guardrail history.

Optimization loop

From plant data to approved action, every recommendation has a reason.

The platform translates dynamic wastewater conditions into practical actions that operators can accept, adjust, and defend.

Forecast load

Blend historical influent, weather-sensitive events, and diurnal patterns into a near-term process demand view.

Respect constraints

Apply effluent limits, equipment availability, basin conditions, and operator-defined rules before optimizing.

Price the plan

Model kWh, demand charge exposure, time-of-use periods, onsite generation, and peak-event risk.

Queue actions

Deliver a ranked set of recommendations with expected impact, safety checks, and approval status.

Planning calculator

Turn energy complexity into a budget conversation.

Use a transparent planning range to frame the avoided-cost opportunity before a plant-specific baseline is built.

Deployment path

Start in advisory mode, then earn the right to automate.

Lumaq is designed for gradual trust: observe the plant, recommend under review, document outcomes, and only then expand control integration.

Weeks 1-2

Connect data

Map historian tags, meter intervals, tariff rules, equipment limits, and existing operating playbooks.

Weeks 3-4

Build baseline

Separate weather, loading, and operating patterns so savings are measured against a fair baseline.

Weeks 5-8

Shadow recommendations

Run advisory actions beside current practice and compare energy, process, and operator confidence.

Ongoing

Operate and prove

Track accepted actions, overrides, avoided cost, and process guardrails for monthly review.

Plant review

Bring Lumaq a recent utility bill and a historian export. Leave with an optimization map.

The first review identifies where tariff exposure, blower runtime, pump sequencing, and process constraints create the clearest operating opportunity.
