WISE® (Water Infrastructure Sensing Equipment)

Real-Time, On-Line Bio/Chemical Contamination Detection & Reporting System

• Continually monitors water flow for chemical and biological anomalies
• Immediately reports out-of-parameter conditions (via e-mail or SCADA) to any number of recipients
• Chemical Detection: uses combination of industry standard sensors (Temp., pH, Conductivity, ORP/Redox) and its onboard computer to detect and report out-of-parameter conditions, indicating a likely contamination event
• Biological Detection: analyzes Multi-Angle Laser Light Scattering Signals (MALS) to monitor and detect waterborne microorganisms or other particles.  The analysis and classification algorithm uses the scattering amplitude and 2D shape of each individual organism/particle that transits the laser beam
• Draws sample of contaminated water for further analysis
• Bypasses or shuts down flow of contaminated water
• Increases efficiency by saving man-hours and laboratory costs through process control optimization
• DoD / EPA Tested

Key characteristics of a system include:

• Compact unit integration suitable for remote, unattended operation
• The ability to reliably identify chemical and biological anomalies in real time
• 24/7, minute to minute baseline water quality and a constant measurement of system bio-burden
• Communication of alert data via email, LAN or SCADA in real-time
• Self maintaining ‚ automatic sensor refreshing
• Ability to automatically draw water samples upon alert for further analysis and verification
• Low maintenance and life cycle costs
