Waterhound Futures was asked by a global manufacturer to model an existing wastewater treatment system to identify opportunities to reuse water in a select reverse osmosis process within the larger facility. Leading into the project, Waterhound's 'software flagged discrepancies in input data provided by plant operators versus contaminant levels normally found in engineering manufacturering facilities. The software itemised 8 contaminants flagged with discrepancies in input water data with reasoning and suggested steps for engineers to take for remediation.

The RO process was also modelled using manufacturer's specifications for the hardware, input water analysis, P&ID drawings, etc. and other environmental parameters - e.g. flowrate. Waterhound software identified opportunities to reuse over 70% of water in the RO process.

The project mandate did not extend to modelling to identify opportunities for water reuse and recycle throughout the facility.
