Lowering Wastewater Treatment Costs with Smart Monitoring & Control
How online instrumentation reduces energy, maintenance, and lifecycle costs across the plant
May 21, 2026 @ 11:00 AM EDT | 1 Hour
Municipal wastewater treatment plants face growing pressure to lower operating costs, improve treatment performance, and comply with increasingly strict regulations – all while managing aging infrastructure and limited staff resources.
Online process monitoring and control play a critical role in meeting these challenges, but not all instrumentation delivers the same long-term value.
In this webinar, wastewater professionals will learn how smart, online monitoring can be applied across the entire treatment process – from influent through effluent – to improve efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). We’ll examine how real-time data enables better control of energy-intensive processes such as aeration, nutrient removal, and chemical dosing, while minimizing maintenance, consumables, and labor.
Attendees will also learn how YSI’s IQ SensorNet platform delivers lower lifecycle costs compared to traditional instrumentation through its modular design, low-maintenance sensors, single-cable installation, and scalable architecture—making it an effective solution for both upgrades and new installations.
What You’ll Learn:
- Wastewater treatment & instrumentation overview - Where online monitoring delivers plant wide value
- Instrumentation & process control – Using real time data to optimize treatment
- Understanding Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – Identifying true drivers of lifecycle costs
- Applications across the plant – Monitoring and control from influent to effluent
- Why IQ SensorNet? – Lower lifecycle costs through smart system design
- Real world cost comparisons – Proven savings versus traditional instrumentation systems
Who should attend:
Municipal wastewater operators, plant managers, utility leaders, engineers, and compliance professionals who are responsible for improving performance, reducing operating costs, or evaluating instrumentation and process control solutions.
After attending this webinar, you will be able to:
- Explain how online instrumentation improves treatment efficiency and compliance
- Identify opportunities to reduce energy and chemical costs using process control
- Understand the key contributors to total cost of ownership in instrumentation systems
- Apply monitoring strategies across different stages of a wastewater treatment plant
- Evaluate why IQ SensorNet offers lower lifecycle costs than traditional approaches
