In the past, sewage treatment systems were typically viewed as the responsibility of civil engineers. However, more recently, it has been recognized as an area of expertise within the field of microbiology. With the aid of automation, control, and data-driven operations, sewage treatment is now being seen as an intelligent and sophisticated solution.

Sewage treatment plants have become increasingly complex in recent times. The process now requires the involvement of several engineers with specialized skill sets. This includes civil engineers who are responsible for constructing the plant infrastructure. Mechanical engineers are needed to select the appropriate pumps, blowers, and mixers. Electrical engineers work towards the efficient selection of electrical components. Electronics and control engineers are required to monitor the efficacy of the instruments. Software engineers are responsible for designing automation, IoT, and data collection systems. Lastly, biotechnology professionals are needed to select effective microbes for STP operations.

To effectively combine the input from various professionals, intelligent STPs must be developed that can meet the individual needs of each professional while also addressing collective requirements. With so many professionals involved, the outcome could either be chaotic or a blessing.

Remarkably EcoTec has successfully amalgamated various professional skills and expertise to create an intelligent sewage treatment solution that is both sophisticated and user-friendly. By leveraging automation, control, and IoT technologies, we have boosted the operational capacity of every EcoSBR plant, while simultaneously reducing operator dependency and the need for complicated equipment.
