Saur Group and Purecontrol have signed a partnership agreement to optimize the energy consumption of water treatment plants

Purecontrol is an innovative artificial intelligence-driven management solution that significantly reduces operating costs and carbon footprint, at the same time as optimizing operations for water industry and water management actors. Following a series of successful pilot projects, the solution will now be progressively rolled out in all water treatment plants operated by Saur to analyze and control operation of the most energy-intensive equipment. Ultimately, all the international water treatment plants operated by the Group will benefit from the same solution.

The Saur/Purecontrol partnership is fully committed to simplifying front line operations by ensuring compliance with environmental standards, reducing the risk of failure and optimizing energy costs. As a result, operations management will be able to respond and adapt immediately to weather forecasts, upstream water quality measurements, energy prices and plant operating status. Front line operators can therefore be certain of an optimized level of carbon impact, backed up by real-time operational support.

The new partnership will also help the Group to deliver its Zero Net Emission strategy to achieve an 83% reduction in its carbon intensity by 2023. Saur continues to implement practical, long-term initiatives to facilitate the energy and water transition in all its operating regions, highlighting its local presence and commitment to its local authority and industrial partners
