water monitoring case study
TRANSCRIPT
INDUSTRIAL WATER MONITORINGAPPLYING THE NEWEST TECHNOLOGY TO MONITOR WATER USAGE IN AN OLD FACILITY
SITUATION
• A LARGE INDUSTRIAL FACILITY USING 3 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER PER DAY WANTED TO IDENTIFY THE PROCESSES WITHIN THEIR FACILITY THAT WERE USING THE MOST WATER.
• THE FACILITY RUNS 24/7 WITH VERY INFREQUENT DOWN TIME MAKING INSTALLATION VERY DIFFICULT.
• LARGE, OLD FACILITY WITH MANY DIFFERENT BUILDINGS MADE DATA COLLECTION CHALLENGING.
