Boston-based Opti shares proprietary technology with Florida firm

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, US, September 4, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- OptiRTC (https://optirtc.com), a leader in forecast-based control of distributed stormwater infrastructure through cloud-based solutions, today announced the formation of a strategic alliance with the Tallahassee-based National Stormwater Trust (NST).

OptiRTC will work with NST to provide Opti’s cloud-based, proprietary adaptive control technology to allow NST to generate off-site stormwater offsets through enhancing existing performance of regional facilities throughout the state. This allows NST clients to leverage the benefits of these offsets to fully develop their property without setting aside the land or capital usually required for stormwater ponds. Further, ongoing costs associated with pond maintenance are avoided.

NST also manages existing stormwater facilities and can create and oversee programs to generate incremental revenue for the owner. This approach is of interest to airports, seaports, state and local governments, education campuses, businesses, industrial and commercial parks, and retail and residential developments.

David Rubinstein, CEO of OpticRTC, explained it this way. “NST, working with the State of Florida, has developed a flexible and affordable water quality program. Opti’s technology provides real-time data, and expands the capacity of stormwater ponds by automatically managing the storage capacity. These two core capabilities make this program more affordable for property owners and property developers”.

Jeff Littlejohn, President of NST, summarized the benefits of the partnership by stating “Working with our technology partners at Opti has supercharged our ability to deliver efficient, professional stormwater treatment services to our customers and significantly improving the water quality and flood control performance of our stormwater assets. We’re excited to be working alongside Opti to pave the way for new and innovative uses of remote sensor technology in the stormwater and water treatment marketplace.”
