Pilot phase · KSA wastewater operators

The performance OS for KSA wastewater.

Folo is the only KSA-native workspace built plant-by-plant for Saudi wastewater operators. The verified registry of every plant in the Kingdom — plus an inspection-readiness workspace mapped to MEWA + NCEC. Built for who you actually report to.

The problem

A regulated sector running on guesswork.

Saudi wastewater operators run inspections quarterly, face million-SAR fines, and have no industry-wide visibility on how their plant compares with peers. Today's stack: spreadsheets, PDFs of regulations, and tribal knowledge.

01 · Operators

Inspections are quarterly. Fines hit millions.

Every operating plant is subject to MEWA + NCEC inspections under the M/165 penalty schedule. A single violation can be capped at multi-million SAR. Most plants find out at the audit, not before.

M/165 fines up to 5M SAR / violation
02 · Sector

No KSA-native benchmark.

Plants run on international benchmarks that don't account for arid-climate constraints, KSA reuse targets, or the regulator stack actually applied in the Kingdom. Operators compare against the wrong norms.

Zero plant-level KSA peer benchmarks
03 · Vision 2030

70% reuse target — and no way to track it.

The National Water Strategy targets 70% wastewater reuse by 2030. Without verified per-plant performance data, the route from today to that target can't be designed, monitored, or claimed.

Target 70% · current ~60% reuse
What we deliver

Two products live today. One on the runway.

Folo ships incrementally. Today: the verified KSA registry, free for anyone, plus the private compliance workspace for operators. Next: peer benchmarking — the differentiator we're building plant-by-plant as operators come on.

Database

The verified registry of every operational wastewater plant in Saudi Arabia. Cross-referenced with GASTAT 2024 and primary regulator filings. Each anchor plant verified plot-by-plot via Sentinel-2 imagery.

  • 242 KSA plants indexed
  • 9 satellite-verified anchor plants
  • 54-plant pipeline backlog
  • Open access, no sign-in
No login required
Live · Per-operator

Compliance

A private inspection-readiness workspace. 11 MEWA + NCEC report types encoded against primary Saudi documents (royal decrees, executive regulations, ministerial decisions). Tenant-isolated, regulator-aligned.

  • 11 MEWA + NCEC report types encoded
  • Tenant-isolated · RLS-enforced
  • Pre-filed report formats

Benchmarking

We're building the only real KSA peer benchmark — plant-by-plant, with arid-climate corrections and the regulator overlay no international dataset has. Onboarding pilots now; we'll publish norms only when the cohort is honest.

  • KSA-native cohort, not Vaccari-only
  • Energy intensity v1 axis (kWh/m³)
  • Sludge / reuse / throughput follow
  • SAR-savings projections — with your data
