Business Intelligence Solutions for the Energy Market

Real time Wastewater MonitoringDigital Flow & Load Optimised for Asset Design, Performance & Operation.

Continuous Wastewater Process Monitoring
Rapid Deployment
Turning Data into Evidence Based Decisions

Offering a cost-effective Digital flow & load programme coupled with tailored process analytics that we call the Optimiser.

Continuous Wastewater Process Monitoring:

The BI-ZEN Optimiser uses sensors to record key wastewater parameters every minute. The timestamped data allows you to see trends, spikes and diurnal events.

Rapid Deployment:

The stand alone Optimiser units have their own data collection and transmission hardware. Deployment only requires a power supply, there is no integration with other site equipment.

Turning Data into Evidence Based Decisions:

The mobile units start pushing data to the cloud within hours of set up. Our experienced process engineers will help you use this data to identify process improvements.

BI-ZEN fills the void in process data and analytics supply chain, to support water companies in their digital transformation journey within the wastewater environment.

A smart sensor IoT enabled system to process monitor your wastewater treatment assess base, creating unmatched insights.

BI-ZEN's Optimiser service offering provides something much more valuable than just monitoring equipment – its our extensive wastewater subject matter expertise.

Our wide-ranging and holistic approach from the inlet and treatment, through to final discharge, is proven to generate efficiencies within plant operation as well as the design process.

Real-time monitoring, providing accurate data, will guide immediate action and intervention. Our offering delivers a data-driven digital solution for designers, operators and regulators.

The type of systems thinking applications where added value has been gained from an Optimiser deployment:

Process Load Assessments
Compliance Recovery Investigations
Storm First Flush Events
Primary Tank Optimisation
Activated Sludge Optimisation
Process Commissioning / Asset Handover
Process Emissions Assessment (Nitrogen balance)

This list is not exhaustive, as the application can be tailored to meet a wide range of process needs and drivers. Refer to the case studies and testimonials for more information.

The Installation

Adaptable deployment

Determinants: COD, TOC, UV, Ammonium, Nitrate, Turbidity, ORP, pH, Temperature

IoT enabled application

Bespoke dashboards of actual performance

The Integration

Benchmark data: Asset capacities, technical standards

Compliance data

Operating envelope

Site Specifics: Energy, Network, STC Imports, Sludge age, Mass Flux

This requires understanding of process assets, based on sufficient process data of high quality.

Process evaluation surveys typically utilise a set of lab data derived from spot samples which can miss key events and provide an incomplete picture of plant operation, leading to conservatism in design and operation.

BI- ZEN and it’s partners bring to the market a rapid deployment service offering, combining multi-parameter IoT enabled instrumentation, cloud-based analytics and process knowledge, to provide actionable end-to-end intelligence.

The Optimiser

Three years in development, the Optimiser is IoT enabled hardware, containing a suite of market leading instrumentation and robust sensor cleaning technology.

Subject Matter Expertise

Installed by senior process engineers, supported by instrumentation specialists and data scientists, the team understand client needs and operational challenges.

Data Provision

Unlike traditional sampling and analysis, the optimiser provides 400% to 1,200% more data points, leading to greater granularity, accuracy, with improved confidence in relation to process control and change.

Optimiser Solutions

A unique and proven solution for the real time monitoring of essential determinants, required for the benchmarking and optimisation of wastewater treatment works.

Client Feedback

The granular data generated by the optimiser unit was able to provide evidence that a compliance risk event occurred at similar periods every day, promoting informed intervention regarding the ASP protocol, sludge age, and triggering a review of dissolved oxygen sensor maintenance. South West Water - Operations

"We knew this was happening, but we could not evidence such events to be able to apply for funding to justify any intervention. We would not have had the granularity of data from when engaging the conventional flow & load survey approach. We have been able to pursue our energy efficiencies based on the real time data that was provided."Dave Helicon CSci, Principal Scientist

I am sure that BI-ZEN and Aqua will be contacted for involvement with future projects. Anglian Water @one Alliance

"The design of the monitoring station and the way the two units were installed, serviced and decommissioned helped build confidence, and develop a collaborative relationship at a site level which proved to be of great benefit throughout the project "Andrew Rowe – Technical Manager

It was very easy working with Alec and the BI-ZEN team – he liaised with Ops and the design team associated with the capital project. Everyone involved benefitted from Alec’s time as he explained how the sensors worked; the data that was recorded; and walked the team through the dashboard. He has also taken the time to introduce what BI-ZEN can do with my other design teams. Anglian Water @one Alliance

"The optimiser system provided a granular data set that we would not have been able to obtain if using a conventional sampling programme. The data enabled Ops and the design team to gain a better understanding of how the site was operating – it also provided an in-sight to times of the day that had never been sampled before. This allowed the design team to provide the right level of data to our suppliers, which will ensure that we are not over-designing."Lead Technical Manager - Anglian Water @one Alliance

BIZEN had mobile lab equipment which allowed them to do quality checks and adjustments on site, giving confidence in the results produced by the sensors. With regular quality control checks and adjustments. Ward & Burke – Construction Partner with Yorkshire Water

"Communication between both parties was good and allowed each of us to find out key information for each other, something that wouldn’t have been possible if our work had not been done in a collaborative way. "Luke McAllister – W&B Site Process Manager

As part of the handover, BI-ZEN process engineers participated in a meeting to link the site data and feasibility of proposed options, which is a great service. Ward & Burke – Construction Partner with Yorkshire Water

"The SBR operation is complex and good scientific evidence has been obtained, over the standard course data sets related to the real time measurement, enabling informed decisions to be made. I definitely have opportunities in the future for the Optimiser, excellent piece of kit."David Hernon – W&B Director
