Case Study: Wessex Water reduces preventable pollution with StormHarvester

Wessex Water eliminates preventable storm overflow pollutions with StormHarvester

Wessex Water sought to gain additional insights from its wastewater sensor network and proactively detect blockages to prevent pollution incidents. The company partnered with StormHarvester to trial its AI-powered solution for smarter control room alarms and real-time blockage detection.

The solution from StormHarvester was implemented, analyzing data from 1,500 signals. The results were significant, including a 97% reduction in event duration monitoring alarms. StormHarvester detected over 60 early blockages in real time, preventing at least two major pollution incidents, and also identified numerous sensor faults. This partnership has helped Wessex Water almost completely eliminate preventable pollutions and build a long-term strategy for smart technology.
