Aqua Intelligent Technology is a solution for small water s
To Ensure clean and safe drinking water at an affordable price, Aqua Intelligent Technology has developed an easy-to-deploy system for monitoring, analyzing and optimizing water treatment processes. The Aqua platform is designed for small and rural communities where water plants are aged and affected by climate change
Case Study # 1
IR5 and IR4a Drinking Water Systems in Lytton
PROBLEM
The two small water systems (IR5 and IR4a), that supplied drinking water to 11 homes, were located in remote areas and were aged and inefficient with high maintenance costs. The water consumption from these systems also varied extensively due to seasonal and occupancy variations, creating challenges in managing the chlorine concentration. Travelling to; inspecting and maintaining these small water systems created significant challenges that resulted in high costs for the community and a lot of work and stress for the Lytton First Nations water operations staff.
SOLUTION
The Aqua Intelligent solution consisted of:
- upgraded sensors and PLC’s to measure pressure and
flow rate and the concentration of chlorine - controllable chlorine dosing pumps
- Aqua Intelligent software and smartphone app
The upgraded PLC’s have a robust communications capability which allows them to transmit data under
conditions of low or no cellular coverage to ensure reliable data transfer with the Aqua Intelligent software running in the cloud. In addition, water test results conducted by the water operations team and a record of maintenance tasks are uploaded into the Aqua Intelligent software via a smartphone app. The data from the water operations team in addition to the sensor data is used by the Aqua Intelligent solution to optimize the chlorine dosage and detect other system issues.
RESULT
Aqua Intelligent's solution allowed the Lytton First Nation’s water operations team to monitor the status of these remote systems 24/7 via a smartphone app without having to physically visit these water facilities. This saved them hours each day and provided them with peace of mind that the systems were operating correctly. The app also alerted the operations team with early detection of issues enabling faster response and resolution, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. The Aqua Intelligent solution also improved the management of chlorine resulting in improved water quality and a reduction in complaints from the smell of chlorine due to overly high chlorine residuals at the tap.
CASE STUDY # 2
Tataskweyak Cree Nation
I N T R O D U C T I O N
Tataskweyak Cree Nation (TCN) is a First Nation community situated on the shore of Split Lake (Nelson River) in northern Manitoba. The community has a population of 2,353 and obtains its drinking water from a conventional
water treatment plant that was built in 1987 and upgraded in 2003. In 2017, TCN was under a long-term drinking water boil advisory. According to the investigation by KGS Engineering Group, the estimated cost of building a new water treatment plant and switching the water source from Split Lake to Assean Lake is $18 million.
PROBLEM
The inconsistent climate conditions have made it difficult for the water treatment plant to maintain the quality of drinking water. The absence of a control system has led to high turbidity fluctuations and increased demand for chlorine, which in turn has made the water unsafe to drink because of the formation of carcinogenic compounds.
Additionally, the aged water treatment plant increased operational costs and required consulting services for maintenance.
SOLUTION
Aqua Intelligent Technology monitors the water treatment process 24/7, responds to conditions, and optimizes the treatment process to maintain the quality of drinking water. In addition, it enabled the community to manage the system and reduce direct operational costs while minimizing the need for expensive external services.
DEPLOYMENT
The Aqua system was successfully implemented and resolved the issue within 8 weeks of the decision. The installation and deployment process did not interfere with daily operations. The Aqua platform is user-friendly and
can be accessed through smartphones. The operational staff received quick and easy training.
RESULT
The water treatment plant can maintain the quality of drinking water even under varying climate conditions. By optimizing the treatment process, chemical consumption is expected to be reduced by 10%. Furthermore, the
operational staff performance has improved. The platform is easily accessible to both operators and managers, leading to improved transparency and communication among all parties involved.
