Background: A municipal water treatment plant was facing challenges with high levels of non-revenue water (NRW), operational inefficiencies, and reduced hydraulic capacity. These issues were impacting service delivery and operational sustainability. OAGLOBAL was engaged to address these challenges and optimize plant performance.
Approach: OAGLOBAL implemented a multi-faceted strategy focused on leveraging AI-powered tools and adhering to industry best practices:
1. Plant Assessment and Audit: OAGLOBAL conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the plant's operations. The audit identified key areas for improvement, including process inefficiencies, maintenance gaps, and opportunities to enhance performance.
2. Hydraulic Capacity Optimization: Based on the audit findings, OAGLOBAL proposed and executed targeted interventions to improve the plant's hydraulic capacity. AI-driven modelling tools were used to analyze flow patterns, optimize operations, and enhance overall efficiency.

3. Enhanced Efficiency through Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA)
Utilization of Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA), an advanced AI-based monitoring technique, to optimize the performance of rotodynamic equipment, including pumps and blowers, at the water treatment plant.
Through application of ESA, the plant's approach to equipment management was transformed thereby improving operational efficiency, reducing energy costs, and extending asset lifespans resulting in long-term performance gains.
The approach not only solved immediate challenges but positioned the plant for long-term success.
Results: OAGLOBAL's solutions delivered significant improvements:
• Reduction in NRW.
• Enhanced Efficiency
• Improved Hydraulic Capacity:
