By monitoring the water quality parameters (turbidity, pH, conductivity and temperature) in real time on construction sites, an alarm can be given if the water treatment fails. This will prevent pollution events that are bad for the environment and could lead to the halting of construction work.
This will be used by the treatment plant suppliers or environmental consultants working for construction and for companies on construction sites.
✘ Long lead time to set control programs
✘ Frequently challenged claims in court
✘ Too many false alarms from current systems
✘ Incoming water is sometimes already polluted
✘ Logistics of laboratory sampling and time delay
The value proposition is in offering a warning system that sends an alarm to water treatment on construction sites if it starts to fail. Water treatment failures can lead to fines, closure of the construction site by regulators and increased treatment costs if not detected early. Moreover, it naturally results in real water pollution.
✔ Pollution monitoring both upstream and downstream to really understand where the pollution is coming from
✔ Real-time information to identify pollution but also to measure faster
