Application Note: The future of water is clear

Taking advantage of technology developed in recent years, MECO announces smartANALYTICS™ as a means of connecting its water purification machines and systems with big data analytics and in-house expertise.

While data acquisition and trending has been commonplace throughout the industry, MECO smartANALYTICS^™ is designed to be predictive and supportive of clients’ needs for optimising the operation of their water system.

MECO smartANALYTICS^™ enables substantial amounts of operating data to be continuously profiled against design data and other identical or similar systems in the field. Big data and profiling provide the ability to see minute changes or patterns more readily, and hence quickly provide information to customers such that they can optimise performance, avert unscheduled downtime and proactively engage resources as necessary.

“Predictive maintenance is better than reactive,” said George Gsell, MECO President. “If one considers the overall footprint of a water purification system, it can be quite involved. In addition to energy consumption and water recovery rates, there can be chemical consumptions, cleanings, and membrane life and filter disposals. With the information at hand, our team is able to share knowledge and best practices.”
