Wastewater monitoring case studies covering sewer networks, industrial wastewater and municipal WWTP projects with real field results.

Wastewater Monitoring Case Studies

APURE wastewater monitoring projects cover different operating environments, from underground sewer networks to industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants.

These project cases focus on four practical monitoring objectives:

  • pollution source tracing;
  • underground corrosion and remote monitoring;
  • industrial wastewater process optimization;
  • faster online monitoring for WWTP operation.

The projects below are organized by application so engineers, EPC contractors and wastewater operators can quickly find the most relevant case.

SEWER NETWORK

Guangzhou: Pollution Source Tracing

50+ km urban sewer network using online monitoring and GIS-assisted analysis to locate abnormal wastewater discharges.

Key result: Tracing time reduced from 72 h to 12 h.

UNDERGROUND SEWER

Nanning: Corrosion-Resistant Monitoring

Underground monitoring for a 65 km sewer network exposed to high humidity, H₂S and corrosive conditions.

Key result: Valid monitoring data increased from 75% to 98%.

INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER

Beijing: Industrial Process Monitoring

Influent and effluent monitoring used to support earlier process adjustment in an industrial wastewater treatment plant.

Key result: Chemical dosing reduced by approximately 15%.

MUNICIPAL WWTP

Jinan & Shiyan: Online WWTP Monitoring

Online multiparameter monitoring used to reduce the 4–6 hour delay associated with manual wastewater testing.

Key result: Faster abnormal response and lower monitoring O&M requirements.
