Water utilities and industrial plants face ongoing challenges in monitoring water quality, prompting KETOS to develop SHIELD, an AI-driven platform that automates real-time detection of heavy metals, inorganics, and nutrients, with plans to expand into PFAS monitoring.
Wastewater treatment plants, drinking water utilities, and industrial manufacturers routinely struggle with water quality monitoring. It’s a time- and labor-intensive job that requires staying on top of multiple complex and fluctuating chemistries. And all along, more little-understood constituents continue showing up in their streams.
Water management tech developer KETOS is working to make the job more manageable. It developed a platform that detects and monitors dozens of heavy metals, inorganics, and nutrients, and will soon go live with a plug-in module targeting PFAS.
