BSS SoftSensor
BSS SoftSensor is a cost-effective software sensor that uses existing wastewater treatment plant hardware and data to optimise chemical dosing. By analysing historical and real-time process data, the software predicts changing phosphorus conditions and calculates optimal dosing levels, supporting real-time wastewater dosing control completely free from new hardware sensors.
BSS SoftSensor enables chemical dosing optimisation in wastewater treatment, including iron-based coagulant dosing for phosphorus removal. By supporting more precise dosing, the software helps wastewater treatment plants reduce unnecessary chemical consumption while maintaining treatment performance, improving wastewater resource efficiency and supporting more sustainable wastewater treatment operations.

Sensor Fusion
Sensor Fusion
BSS SoftSensor uses sensor fusion to combine data from multiple existing plant sensors and provides actionable insights for wastewater chemical dosing optimisation. By collecting and analysing measurements such as flow, pH and other key water-quality parameters, the wastewater treatment soft sensor identifies changing process conditions and supports accurate chemical dosing recommendations.
This enables wastewater dosing control without new sensors, supporting real-time coagulant control and phosphorus removal chemical dosing without costly hardware upgrades. The result is more precise, data-driven process control and more efficient wastewater treatment operations.

Data-Driven Control
Data-Driven Control
Traditional chemical dosing at WWTPs often relies on fixed dosing schedules or manual adjustments based on operator experience. However, this approach can be time-consuming, costly, and inefficient, particularly when wastewater conditions fluctuate.
BSS SoftSensor changes this by continuously analysing existing sensor data and providing real-time, data-driven dosing recommendations. This enables more precise coagulant dosing and real-time wastewater dosing control.
Operators no longer need to constantly adjust chemicals manually or rely on trial and error. By supporting data-driven wastewater process control, BSS SoftSensor helps improve resource efficiency, reduce unnecessary chemical consumption, and maintain consistent treatment performance and regulatory compliance.

BSS SoftSensor
Half the iron, same clean water
“Following thorough case studies, we have now implemented soft sensor control on two of our treatment plants. It has been a very transparent and reassuring process for us to go through with excellent support from BSS from the start right through to commissioning and completion. We have achieved good savings on chemicals, without any deterioration in our discharge results,” - Pernille Gammelgaard, Operations Manager, Skanderborg Utility.

Otterup WWTP cuts iron dosing by 23%
"Since 25 November 2024, our chemical dosing has been controlled by a BSS SoftSensor, which has performed very satisfactorily with the promised savings without the phosphate concentration in the plant effluent increasing." — Arne Michelsen, Technical Coordinator, VandCenter Syd
