Water / Wastewater

Wastewater treatment is an energy-intensive process. Mitsubishi Electric’s solutions not only optimise and maintain the uninterrupted flow of operations with proven reliability, but also contribute to improved efficiency in every area from man-hours to energy savings.

Simulations based on digital twins, implemented with Mitsubishi Electric's solutions, make it possible to create and compare different scenarios and select the best one.

Flowing seamlessly, water distribution networks are the lifeline of modern cities. Connecting communities with clear, fresh water – that's the power of efficient distribution networks!  

Integrating Mitsubishi Electric's products and digital technologies into water distribution networks enhances real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and overall system efficiency.

Sewer networks are the unseen guardians of urban sanitation, ensuring a clean and safe tomorrow for all. Monitoring and controlling the flow within sewer networks is crucial for managing capacity and preventing backups, e.g., during heavy rainfall or increased usage.  

Multi-level automation, enabled by Mitsubishi Electric – from PLCs to edge processing – provides greater safety and lower maintenance costs for sewer networks.

Dams and weirs play an important role to regulate the flow of our water. Effective management of dams and weirs is crucial to ensure water supply, flood control and hydropower generation while maintaining structural integrity.

Mitsubishi Electric provides solutions that make the control of such structures more efficient and facilitate data-driven decisions.

Heavy rains, flood threats, sewage overspills, water source contamination: smart IoT platforms can help reduce the time it takes to identify and respond to these threats. Using live telemetry data, alerts and weather forecasts, operators can take proactive countermeasures.

Irrigation is agriculture's game-changer, turning dry fields into lush landscapes and ensuring crops get the perfect amount of water for peak growth.  

In large-scale agriculture, automation has a huge impact on the conservation of water, energy and labour. Our irrigation control solutions enable automatic monitoring and control of remote valves at night, when conditions are ideally suited to saving water, energy and valuable man-hours.

By unlocking the huge potential of seawater, desalination provides a supply of fresh water where it is needed most. The key challenge is balancing the high initial investment and operating costs of desalination with the need for affordable, accessible fresh water, and ensuring that desalinated water meets safety and quality standards.

Mitsubishi Electric has been implementing proven solutions to reduce the cost of desalination and make it a fully controllable process.
