IoTreat® unifies STP and ETP operations for ITC Limited's Mysuru Tobacco Division under a single intelligent platform
Integrated AI automation across both domestic and industrial wastewater treatment reduces operators by 75% — from 4 to 1 — while improving process reliability and ESG performance.
ITC Limited's Mysuru Tobacco Division operates two dedicated wastewater treatment systems — a 50 KLD Sewage Treatment Plant for domestic effluent and a 50 KLD Effluent Treatment Plant for industrial process wastewater. Both are critical to the facility's regulatory compliance and water reuse targets. Despite running in parallel, the two plants were managed independently through manual processes, with four operators handling continuous monitoring and control across both systems — a resource-heavy model that left performance dependent on individual operator decisions.
Challenge
Operating two separate treatment systems — one for domestic sewage, one for industrial effluent — without any shared monitoring layer meant the facility had no unified view of its wastewater performance. Four operators managed both plants manually, introducing variability in process control and leaving little room for proactive intervention. Aeration, dosing, and pumping were all adjusted by hand, and without real-time data, inefficiencies in chemical consumption and energy use went undetected. For a facility with ITC's sustainability commitments, the gap between operational reality and ESG ambition was significant.
Solution
ParyAI deployed IoTreat® across both the STP and ETP simultaneously, creating a single intelligent platform for the facility's entire wastewater infrastructure. IoT sensors were installed across critical process points in both systems, feeding live data into a unified dashboard. Aeration, chemical dosing, pumping, and sludge handling were automated across both plants, with AI-driven process control adapting dynamically to influent characteristics. Predictive alerts and anomaly detection replaced manual rounds, and operators gained remote visibility and control from a single interface — replacing the need for continuous on-site presence.
Outcome
Operator requirements dropped from 4 to 1 — a 75% reduction — as automation and centralised monitoring absorbed the workload previously spread across multiple staff. Process performance standardised across both the STP and ETP, with reduced variability in treatment quality and improved consistency in treated water output for reuse. Chemical dosing efficiency improved in the ETP, and optimised aeration and pumping cycles reduced operational fluctuations across both systems. For ITC, the project delivered a lean, data-driven operation aligned with its sustainability and resource efficiency goals — and established a replicable model for rolling out across other facilities in the group.
