Challenge
A large mining company in India tracked its water balance with operators collecting data from various locations in the facility at the start of the shift. The client wanted to track the water usage in real-time in order to determine the actual water balance of the facility.
Solution
The entire water network is to be monitored with a fusion of sensors. The sensors and artificial intelligence system will detect the issues and guide the engineer.
What To Monitor
- Flow from the generation side
- Flow from the consumption side
- Inventory levels within the plant
How To Monitor
- Install sensors in non intrusive manner
- Fuse data from multiple sources into a central repository
How To Use This Data
- Create complete water balance in real-time.
- Analyze the data and setup alerts
- Identify projects based on data to conserve and reduce wastage.
Project Installation
The entire water network is to be monitored with a fusion of sensors. The sensors and artificial intelligence system will detect the issues and guide the engineer.
Existing electromagnetic flow meters integrated with IoT modules to transmit data
Battery powered ultrasonic flow meters installed in locations where data is required
Battery powered ultrasonic level sensors installed to track the inventory levels.
Impact
- Water leakages at various locations in the facility were arrested.
- The water usage was optimized and 11 million liters of water conserved in just few months of installation
