Continuous water quality intelligence — hours, not days.
Most treatment plants find out their water quality from a lab test that takes up to five days. By the time the result comes back, the plant has often already moved on. AquaSense AI closes that gap — combining sensors, a treatment bioreactor, and data science to estimate the same measurement in hours instead of days, continuously, and checked against the lab test the industry already trusts.
Why it matters:
Water utilities operate at enormous energy and chemical cost — SABESP alone consumes more than 2 TWh of energy a year pumping and treating water and wastewater. Faster information means operators can act on today’s conditions instead of a lab result describing what happened five days ago.

Municipal Compliance Monitoring
Continuous, IoT-connected BOD5 monitoring for wastewater treatment plants, giving operators BOD5 estimates on a 12–48 hour cycle instead of a 5-day lab turnaround — validated against lab reference measurements, not a replacement for them.
Roadmap: extending this approach with satellite data alongside sensor and IoT inputs for broader water-management coverage.
Agricultural Water-Reuse Safety
A funded research programme (with the University of BrasÃlia and CTI/MCTI) extending BOD5 monitoring with additional parameters relevant to safe agricultural reuse of treated wastewater. Currently in R&D, not yet a commercial product.
Aquaculture Water Quality
Early-stage work applying the same optical dissolved-oxygen sensing approach to fish-farming and broader water-reuse quality monitoring.
AquaSense AI turns Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5) monitoring from a five-day lab result into a continuous, 12–48 hour estimate — field-validated with SABESP, one of the world’s largest water utilities.
