DRIVING EFFICIENCY, CUTTING COSTS, & ENHANCING OPERATIONS IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Watergate Environmental Technologies (WET) delivers cutting-edge, real-time solutions that help wastewater treatment
facilities reduce energy consumption, optimize aeration, and improve process control. Our flagship technology,
the Telemetric Off-Gas Analysis (TOGA) system, continuously monitors and analyzes critical aeration metrics, providing
unparalleled insights to maximize efficiency and minimize costs. Developed in partnership with leading expert
Dr. Diego Rosso and backed by rigorous scientific research, TOGA stands as the industry’s most advanced tool for aeration management.
As an SBA-certified Women Owned Small Business (WOSB), WET proudly supports diversity and innovation in the environmental sector.

WHY MAPPING BASEWATER AERATION BASINS MATTER
Maximize Cost Savings
Enhance Treatment Efficiency
Drive Sustainability
Inefficient aeration is one of the biggest energy wastages in wastewater treatment, draining both financial resources and sustainability efforts. Mapping your aeration basins allow you to identify dead zones, optimize oxygen distribution, and reduce excessive energy consumption—leading to significant cost savings. By precisely controlling airflow based on oxygen requirements and treatment efficiency, you not only lower operational expenses but also extend the lifespan of critical equipment.
Beyond cost, effective basin mapping is a sustainability game-changer. Over-aeration wastes energy and increases your carbon footprint, while under-aeration leads to poor treatment performance and regulatory risks. A data-driven approach maintains compliance, enhances process control, and minimizes environmental impact. Investing in basin mapping today means optimizing efficiency, cutting costs, and reinforcing your commitment to sustainable wastewater management
