DOSCON real-time process control for water treatment
- Published December 2, 2022; updated September 21, 2026; estimated reading time 2 minutes. Status: available. Categories: Technology / IoT; Water and wastewater.
- DOSCON’s DOSCADA system combines process control and IoT sensors for water and wastewater plants. Real-time physical and virtual measurements help operators track water-quality parameters and control chemical dosing, aeration and process flows as incoming conditions change.
- The page says variable water quality and complex treatment requirements can make algorithm-based control unstable, leading to chemical overdosing, extra sludge and greater sludge-management cost. DOSCADA aims to stabilize treatment quality while reducing chemical and energy use.
- A coagulation-control application for drinking-water treatment is said to reduce coagulant use by 10–30% while maintaining stable results. DOSCON estimates utilities can recover the system investment within one to three years from chemical and energy savings.
- The article cites a USD 6 billion global flocculant/coagulant market forecast for 2022, tied to biological wastewater plants using coagulation to meet phosphorus-removal requirements. DOSCON was established in Norway in 2008 and opened a China subsidiary in 2019. Customers include design consultants, organizations, SCADA providers, water companies and utilities.
