Lir Labs
Project Overview
About
Wastewater treatment plants often rely on manual samples and delayed laboratory results, forcing operators to respond after conditions have changed. Lir Labs provides continuous insight into the biological processes that determine treatment performance, energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Its AI-powered platform turns live data into practical recommendations on aeration, sludge management and early intervention. By helping operators make faster, more informed decisions, the system could reduce wasted energy, limit nitrous oxide emissions and preserve specialist knowledge as experienced workers retire.
