We combine models of microgrids with models of the energy resources embedded in wastewater treatment, delivering coordinated energy management that achieves operational resilience and efficiency at lower cost.
Data-driven
Our software ingests high-resolution facility sensor (SCADA) data.
Integrated
Our models merge structured SCADA, laboratory, and field data across a utility’s water and energy systems.
Modular
Adjustments are made to site and design-specific factors.
Smart
Machine learning + process simulation approximate facility behavior.
City-scale water-energy-CO2
emissions planning for
water utilities.
Impactful Outcomes
1
FLOWS Energy delivers digital twins that use AI and process models to save wastewater facilities up to 30% on their energy bills by reducing peak energy use.
2
Our technology can reduce a wastewater facility’s emissions by as much as 20% by maximizing biogas utilization.
We do so with an end-to-end data analysis pipeline that ingests and simulates a facility's real-time operation, using proprietary algorithms to identify energy and emissions savings opportunities.
Our data ingestion pipeline allows you to quickly structure and understand your facility’s energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
This allows you to better
pinpoint opportunities for cost
and emissions reductions.
We do this by modeling energy savings
potential of
resources embedded
in wastewater treatment.
Partners
Our project is the fruit of partnerships with the U.S. department of Energy, Stanford University, and regional water and wastewater facilities. Join us in our mission to catalyze the water sector's renewable energy transition.
