Reduce operational risks in desalination processes.
Pumps, valves, cartridge filters, reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, and cross-functional teams drive the desalination process. Ensuring they operate optimally can help extend asset life and improve performance capacities.

Inefficiencies damage assets and raise OpEx
Operational teams need to manage changing influent conditions, configurations of RO trains, asset life, maintenance costs, and varying levels of experience, making it a challenge to share the latest plant data and plan resources effectively.
Reactive maintenance can result in downtime
Reacting to a membrane fouling, a strained cartridge filter, or a maxed-out pump speed with chemicals and replacements works, but it costs a lot of time, energy, and money and can lead to a lower level of production. Failures happen because operators can’t see asset health levels.
With Pani Zed™
Share knowledge easily and reduce risks
Pani Zed™ retains and shares knowledge across changing shift schedules and personnel to not disrupt workflows. Simulations run using the latest data help detect performance anomalies, providing recommendations so operational actions can be prioritized.
Extend asset life with predictive maintenance
Pani Zed™ tracks each asset to make sure that pumps aren’t overworked, filters aren’t clogging, and membranes aren’t fouling. Predictive maintenance increases process and workflow efficiency to improve uptime and avoid expensive unexpected downtime.

Fine-tune membrane management.
Membranes are critical cost drivers. As intricate physio-chemical equipment, they require a careful balance of dosing and timed procedures.
Without Pani
Inefficiencies damage membranes & raise opex
Imprecise dosing affects water quality and prevents membranes from achieving optimal life.
Reactive maintenance results in downtime
Membrane complexity and mistimed cleanings lead to unexpected failures and delays.

Lower energy and chemical consumption.
Getting freshwater from saltwater is important to mitigating water scarcity, but the process requires a lot of energy and can account for up to 2/3 of OpEx at largescale SWRO facilities.

High energy use contributres to high operating costs
Reducing energy consumption is a priority across industries, including water, to meet ambitious and critically important net-zero targets.
Production levels fluctuate with each upset and downtime incident
Cleanings and replacements need to happen, but balancing chemical consumption, energy use, and cleaning-in-place (CIP) and changing staff schedules to plan ahead is difficult, inconsistent, and depends on the variable conditions and demand for water.
Manual diagnostics are challenging and impact production
Knowing which setpoints to adjust for improved efficiency and identifying where issues are coming from depends on each operator’s experience. A changing workforce, increased demand, and aging infrastructure make it difficult for operational teams to always know which action to take.
With Pani Zed™
Reduce energy consumption and lower operational costs
Pani Zed™ uses predictive insights and prescriptive maintenance to find where to save on energy use.
Holistic anomaly analysis to get back on track faster
Pani Zed™ delivers critical information to operators about key performance indicators (KPIs) and guides them to possible issues so that pretreatment and membrane failures can be avoided, and chemical dosing and feed pressures can be optimized. Prioritized actions help keep operators on top of KPIs.
Find the right equation to save on energy, chemicals, cleanings, and replacements
Pani Zed™ uses predictive insights to optimize servicing frequency, recommending windows that won’t disrupt uptime or production and recovery levels. Get maximum pump, cartridge filter, and membrane life using the least amount of energy and chemicals so that resources aren’t wasted.
