Challenge

The ongoing energy crisis has amplified the urgency of addressing energy consumption across sectors. With rising energy prices and growing concerns about shortages, the need for innovative solutions has never been more pressing.

Wastewater treatment plants, which are vital to maintaining public health and environmental standards, are energy-intensive operations. Balancing energy use with emissions reduction and cost efficiency has become a critical challenge. This is where Enablo, a software solution developed by Envidan, offers a transformative approach to optimizing energy management in wastewater treatment.

Solution

Enablo redefines wastewater treatment by using real-time data to optimize energy consumption and operational efficiency. Unlike conventional systems that rely on static settings, Enablo adapts dynamically to fluctuations in electricity prices, energy demand, and operational needs. The software continuously monitors purification processes, identifying areas where energy efficiency can be improved. This allows plant operators to make real-time adjustments, ensuring optimal performance while reducing costs and maintaining compliance with environmental standards.

With Enablo, treatment plants gain precise control over their energy use, enabling them to respond proactively to market conditions. The result is a more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable operation that supports the transition to greener energy systems.

Result

The implementation of Enablo has delivered significant environmental and economic results. For instance, at Skanderborg Utility in Denmark, the software solution helped achieve a 20% reduction in nitrous oxide emissions, along with increased hydraulic capacity and improved operational control. These outcomes demonstrate how Enablo contributes to the dual goals of sustainability and cost efficiency, providing a replicable model for utilities worldwide.

As part of Denmark’s green transition, Enablo showcases how innovative technologies can tackle global challenges, paving the way for smarter, greener infrastructure solutions.
