Nyad
Nyad helps wastewater treatment plants detect and fix biological problems faster so they reduce pollution and meet compliance. It combines real-time biological diagnostics with a "lab-in-a-box" system that uses digital microscopy, machine vision, and deep learning to analyze settleability and microbial activity and deliver treatment recommendations. Nyad operates as a B2B cleantech platform that pairs on-site hardware with cloud-based AI software for treatment operators and plant managers. The system speeds diagnostics compared with traditional lab tests and can prevent costly clean-ups while potentially increasing plant capacity by up to 40%. Nyad targets municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities focused on operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
