Data Analytics Process Improvement for Smarter Treatment Processes
Helping industrial clients troubleshoot issues and improve efficiency of existing processes.
What is data analytics?
Data analytics is the process of turning raw operational, asset and process related data into actionable insights that drive smarter decisions, improved performance and lower cost. In the water industry, it means harnessing everything from sensor and SCADA logs, maintenance records and quality test results to reveal patterns, anticipate failures, optimise treatments and align with sustainability goals.
Benefits for your organisation
Cost reduction by proactively identifying and addressing inefficiencies before they escalate (e.g., unplanned downtime, overdose of chemicals).
Risk mitigation through early detection of potential asset failures or quality breaches.
Enhanced sustainability via lower consumables usage, energy optimisation and improved resource recovery.
Better decision making by transitioning from gut feel or historical precedent to data driven insight.
Our Approach
Promethean Engineering can support your project during the planning stages of Conceptual Design and FEED. We offer a range of services in these areas and we can tailor our support to your requirements.
1. Define Success Criteria
- For example; Cut specific energy of RO permeate production by 0.1 kWh/m³, reduce
anti-scalant use by 15% or raise RO recovery from 75 → 80%.
2. Instrumentation and Infrastructure Audit (Desktop & Site)
3. Establish Baseline KPI’s
- Review existing site data. Identify data gaps and establish a plan to obtain.
- Establish baseline performance form existing data.
4. Descriptive Statistics and Exploratory Analytics
- What happened? (summerise past events).
5. Diagnostic Analytics
- Why did it happen? (Root cause analysis)
6. Predictive Analytics
- What will happen? (Forecast future states)
7. Prescriptive Analytics (Optimisation and recommendations)
- How can we make it happen? (Optimal Action)
- Determine the best operating strategy given predictions and constraints.
7. Monitoring, Validation & Continuous Improvement
Why Work With Us?
We combine over 20 years of experience in the design and build of waste water treatment and reuse systems with an independent, client first approach. Unlike technology vendors, we don’t push a single technical solution, we evaluate options to find what’s best for your operation. We understand the need to develop a solid foundation in a projects planning stages to increase its overall likelihood of success.
Our background spans the UK and North & South America, supporting clients in food, beverage, whisky, dairy, and industrial sectors. We focus on practical, sustainable designs that balance performance, cost, and long term resilience.
