Solutions
Our innovative sensor system and AI-powered software platform represent a paradigm shift in the water desalination sector, enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability. Not only does it forecast potential fouling issues while the plant runs smoothly, but it also transforms membrane monitoring by continuously assessing the condition of the membrane surface.
Consequently, the system offers actionable insights for effective operational planning, significantly impacting operational costs.
a. Nano-level sensor system
SURPHASE technology employs a disruptive sensor-based approach to detect and monitor membrane fouling in real-time and in a non-invasive manner. This system boasts sensitivity at the nanoscale, surpassing the sensitivity of existing methods by 1000 times. Operating seamlessly alongside the industrial process, it provides crucial data for scheduling predictive cleanings, thus mitigating the risk of irreversible fouling.
b. AI algorithms
Our software utilises cutting-edge machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to analyse data collected by the device. This empowers plant operators with real-time insights into membrane fouling conditions. Additionally, our intelligent alarm system alerts operators of imminent critical fouling situations, allowing for proactive maintenance. This heightened level of monitoring enhances the operator’s control over the entire process.
Contribution
Through our predictive and adapted cleaning, we empower plant operators to run their plant in the most efficient manner. By embracing this cutting-edge technology, water desalination plants will not only boost their economic viability but also contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally responsible operation.
