Calejo and SWECO help Swedish municipality to control the water flows
A collaborative project to improve wastewater management using AI-powered flow prediction and control optimization.
In the municipality of Kungaelv, there is a 25 km long wastewater network with around 100 pumping stations. Through the project, we hope for SWECO and Kungaelv municipality to achieve an increased knowledge of control systems and flow models, as well as a more efficient management of the operation of the facilities.
In the long run, we see that the use of AI can also be used in collaboration between different municipalities. The intention is to be able to use the AI forecasts in the future to reduce overflow through optimized control and achieve a lower operating cost for the entire wastewater network.
The forecast for the next 2-3 days over the water flow in the municipality's wastewater network is also intended to be used as an input signal for a future control system. Through active participation in the project, competence is also developed in Kungaelv's VA organization within AI.
The goal is that through better control of the entire sewage systems we will be able to achieve significant energy and environmental gains, as well as a lower operating cost.
