Emerging Trends Highlighting Advanced Automation and Smart Solutions
Leading companies in this sector are increasingly forging strategic partnerships to enhance wastewater treatment through automation and data-driven control of biological processes. The secondary biological treatment stage, where microorganisms remove dissolved and suspended organic pollutants after primary treatment, is a major focus area for innovation.
For example, in October 2024, Miranda Water Technologies collaborated with Fleming College in Peterborough, Canada, to develop the SmartCell control module. This next-generation addition to the Miracell rotating biological contactor system incorporates real-time data analytics and advanced automation. Its features include continuous performance monitoring, predictive maintenance, and optimized process control, which together improve efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, especially in decentralized wastewater treatment setups. This partnership represents the growing trend of adopting smart, digitally enabled wastewater treatment solutions to boost resource efficiency and maintain environmental compliance.
