What is ASOS™ – Automatic Supervision & Optimization Service?

What is ASOS™ – Automatic Supervision & Optimization Service?

ASOS™ – more than a control system, it is:

#1 A digital twin of the wastewater treatment plant
A mathematical model encompassing all processes (mechanical, biological, chemical) and their interconnections.
#2 An intelligent supervision system
Analyzes online data and compares it with simulated values to quickly detect irregularities.
#3 A process optimizer
Selects optimal operating parameters to ensure treated wastewater quality in line with standards while minimizing energy and chemical consumption.
#4 A technological advisor
Supports operators and engineers in decision-making by indicating the most efficient control strategies.
How does ASOS™ – Automatic Supervision & Optimization Service work?

How does ASOS™ – Automatic Supervision & Optimization Service work?

The system operates in a closed optimization cycle:

#1 Data acquisition (online)
ASOS™ collects measurement data from sensors and analyzers (oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus concentrations, flow rates, temperature).
#2 Numerical simulations
The digital twin tests different process control scenarios (e.g., oxygen levels, flows, chemicals dosing) without disrupting the actual installation.
#3 Visualization and analysis
Simulation results are presented in reports and charts, making it easier to understand process status and make informed technological decisions.
#4 Automatic parameter adjustment
Optimal values are transmitted to PLC/SCADA controllers, ensuring continuous and intelligent optimization.

Optimization of bioreactor aeration
Control of ammonium nitrogen (N–NH₄) concentration
Minimization of iron salt dosing (phosphorus removal)

Goal:
Achieve compliant wastewater quality with the lowest possible energy use.

Simulation results:
at DO = 2.0 mg O₂/l → energy consumption: 2417.8 MWh/year
at DO = 0.1 mg O₂/l → energy consumption: 1296.5 MWh/year

Effect:
Energy savings of 1121.3 MWh/year – the system selects the optimal operating point, guaranteeing compliance at minimal cost.

Goal:
Reduce aeration costs while maintaining effluent quality.

Simulation results:
at N–NH₄ = 5 mg/l → 1392.8 MWh/year
at N–NH₄ = 0.2 mg/l → 1857.1 MWh/year

Effect:
The system selects the optimal setpoint, ensuring compliance while minimizing costs.

Goal:
Maintain required total phosphorus concentration with minimal iron salt use.

Simulation results:
at 2.7 gFe/gP → 6.6 m³ PIX/year
at 1.0 gFe/gP → 2.7 m³ PIX/year

Effect:
Chemical cost reduction by up to 60%, without compromising wastewater quality.

The role of ASOS™ in obtaining White Certificates

The role of ASOS™ in obtaining White Certificates

Wastewater treatment plants consume large amounts of energy – often their single biggest operational cost. Thanks to significant energy savings, ASOS™ supports the acquisition of White Certificates – energy efficiency certificates that can be monetized on the market. This represents an additional financial benefit and a confirmation of the project’s environmental value.

The role of ASOS™ in the development of Industry 4.0 in wastewater management

The role of ASOS™ in the development of Industry 4.0 in wastewater management

ASOS™ embodies the full implementation of the Industry 4.0 philosophy in water and wastewater management – by integrating digital twins, continuous online data analysis, optimization algorithms, and automated decision-making.

As a result, the treatment plant becomes a modern, intelligent facility where technology supports operators in their daily work, and the enterprise gains a genuine competitive advantage.

At SEEN Technologie, we view wastewater treatment plants through the lens of the future – as intelligent, self-improving systems. Over three decades of experience have taught us that real progress emerges from the combination of technical expertise and innovative thinking. ASOS™ is the outcome of this journey – a milestone in the transformation of treatment plants, which we increasingly describe as biorefineries. It’s a solution that not only reduces costs and enhances operational stability but also supports environmental and energy objectives. Tools like ASOS™ build lasting competitive advantage and set the direction for the entire industry.

ASOS™ is more than a control system – it’s a virtual expert that supervises the treatment plant 24/7. It enables not only cost reduction but, above all, stable and compliant plant operation.
Dr. Eng. Bogusław BuczakProxy and Director of Process Engineering Department in SEEN Technologie
ASOS™ is a tool that genuinely supports plant operators in their daily work. Thanks to the digital twin, we can predict the effects of technological changes before implementing them in reality. This brings enormous value – greater decision confidence, faster response to changing conditions, and continuous process improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ASOS™ work in every wastewater treatment plant?

Yes – the system can be implemented in both industrial and municipal facilities.
It covers aerobic, anaerobic, chemical processes as well as modern resource recovery technologies (phosphorus, nitrogen, water, biogas).
Every modern treatment plant can have its digital twin and benefit from it.

What level of energy savings does ASOS™ deliver?

In large facilities, energy savings can reach several hundred MWh per year.
Additionally, biogas production increases, improving the plant’s overall energy balance.

Does ASOS™ implementation require shutting down the treatment plant?

No – all tests are performed within the digital twin environment, without disrupting actual operations.

How long does implementation take?

Typically around three months, depending on plant complexity and data availability.

Does ASOS™ help meet environmental requirements?

Yes – by reducing energy and chemical consumption, optimizing processes, and increasing biogas production, the system directly lowers both the carbon and water footprints, supporting ESG reporting obligations.
