New Industrial Internet Solution for Improved Performance Management of Water Treatment Systems Introduced

GE (USA) recently launched InSight Analytics, the next evolution of its InSight Industrial Internet solution that connects people and data to provide a total system performance view of water treatment operations. InSight Analytics can help achieve greater system efficiency, reduce operating costs and optimise production by providing near real-time performance calculations and clear, reliable reporting. Using the predictive analytics capability of the original InSight platform, GE InSight Analytics collects performance data to enable operators to resolve critical issues, prevent problems before they occur, optimise operations and make strategic decisions.

The first GE analytics available are for reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and condenser efficiency in heat transfer systems. InSight Analytics for RO will help operators get the most out of their membranes through better management of their membrane cleaning schedules, an important step in preventing deposits from forming on membranes, which reduce membrane efficiency and waste valuable energy. The other offering, InSight Analytics for condenser efficiency, brings a new level of reliability and transparency to measuring condenser efficiency in heat transfer systems, offering real-time data normalization, even during peak production times, in a clear, simplified report.
