When water security matters, prediction is power. Marine early warnings deliver 7-day forecasts of the water-quality parameters that drive desalination plant performance — before they reach your intake.
Desalination operations are typically reactive: emergency adjustments when salinity rises, turbidity surges, or algal blooms threaten production. The result is unplanned shutdowns, higher energy use, membrane stress, and missed delivery commitments — each event measured in millions.
The global desalination industry produces over 100 million m³ of fresh water daily. Yet operators and off-takers face an ongoing battle against nature's unpredictability — every sediment event, every salinity spike, every harmful algal bloom that reaches an intake.
We combine satellite earth observations, in-situ measurements, and custom oceanographic modelling to deliver predictions of the parameters that matter most for your plant — delivered on a personalised dashboard with caution and warning thresholds set together with your operations team.
Continuous measurement from our buoys or your existing intake sensors, streamed to your dashboard. No more manual sampling.
7-day forecasts of intake water quality parameters, with email and SMS alerts when caution or warning thresholds are approached.
Historical earth-observation analysis to compare candidate intake locations, or diagnose the root cause of recurring events at existing plants.
Sudden TSS spikes block filters, causing shutdown or reduced throughput.
High salinity lowers efficiency and may force load reduction or damage membranes.
Algae spikes clog filters; backwash and load drop needed.
Any oil detected requires full plant shutdown to avoid contamination.
Pre-treatment (DAF, chemical dosing) can be activated before the event arrives — not as an emergency response.
Protect expensive membrane systems from preventable stress events. Schedule maintenance around forecast windows.
Multi-plant operators can shift production to facilities with favourable incoming water conditions.
Run hardest when the marine environment is helping you, not fighting you.
Before SEAWATCH®, the plant faced 3–4 sudden Total Suspended Solids events per year — each triggering emergency shutdown with only hours of warning, too late to activate Dissolved Air Flotation systems. Traditional lab sampling three times daily couldn't see events coming.
Today, a software-only deployment delivers 7-day TSS forecasts updated three times weekly, with email and SMS alerts categorised as safe, caution and warning. The model is calibrated against the plant's own SCADA history.
30-minute discovery call. We map your operational risk to the parameters that matter at your plant, and recommend whether SEAWATCH® is a fit.
