Permit-based intelligence for wastewater utilities.
AquaIntel converts NPDES permits + DMRs + permit PDFs into sales-ready signals: which utilities are under pressure, what they'll need to buy, and when procurement starts—with clickable evidence.
National coverage • Outfall-level when it matters • Evidence excerpts + confidence scoring
Example: Permit Pressure Snapshot
Likely work packages:
Built for wastewater sellers and delivery teams.
For Vendors
- Target accounts by permit pressure
- Create pipeline before the RFP
- Attach the right work package to each account
For Consultants & Integrators
- Find where studies/design are about to start
- Identify compliance gaps by parameter
- Build defensible project narratives using evidence links
Permits are the earliest defensible buying signal in wastewater.
Budgets and CIPs lag—permits don't. When limits tighten, projects become non-optional.
Most tools show compliance after the fact. AquaIntel shows pressure + next best action.
Narrative clauses buried in PDFs (e.g., receiving-water temperature criteria) are often where procurement begins.
What you get: a ranked list of WWTPs with pressure, mapped work package, and an estimated RFP window.
How it works
From raw permit data to actionable intelligence in three steps
Ingest
Unify structured NPDES limits + DMRs with permit PDFs, fact sheets, and modifications.
Score
Compute Permit Pressure (0–100) plus parameter-specific flags (e.g., temperature/ΔT) with confidence scoring.
Activate
Translate pressure into work packages and predicted procurement windows—so GTM teams know what to do next.
Analyze the parameters that actually drive wastewater spend.
Thermal (Temperature / ΔT)
Numeric caps, ΔT rules, receiving-water criteria, seasonal windows
Nutrients (TN / NH₃ / TP)
BNR expansions, aeration optimization, chemical feed
Disinfection (E. coli / fecal / residual)
UV, contact basins, dechlorination
Conventional (BOD / TSS)
Capacity constraints, process stability, solids loading
Wet Weather / Flow
EQ basins, storage, peak flow constraints
Industrial Impacts (COD spikes, toxics)
Pretreatment pressure, monitoring upgrades (where present)
Solids & Biosolids (TSS proxy + permit language)
Dewatering, digestion impacts, hauling constraints (often narrative)
Emerging Contaminants (PFAS where applicable)
Monitoring requirements, future tightening risk
Not every permit includes every parameter. AquaIntel captures numeric limits and narrative conditions and assigns confidence.
Example insight (one of many): thermal constraints that trigger projects.
Thermal constraints often show up as ΔT rules, receiving-water criteria, or seasonal windows - not just end-of-pipe limits. When present, they commonly trigger monitoring upgrades, mixing-zone studies, and operational changes.ΔT rules, receiving-water criteria, or seasonal windows—not just end-of-pipe limits.

Not a compliance portal. A sales intelligence layer.
Traditional Approach
- Finds issues after they hurt
- Doesn't translate requirements → projects
- Weak on narrative constraints in PDFs
- No timing predictions
AquaIntel
- Converts numeric + narrative permit language into structured signals
- Outfall-level when needed
- Confidence scoring + evidence trail
- Work package + RFP timing forecasts
