IONSiTE Flow · Digital water balance & audit

Know where every litre goes.

IONSiTE Flow builds a live, plant-level digital water balance and runs your water audit continuously instead of once a year. It shows where water is used, lost and wasted, and where it can be reused.

The problem

Why plants need IONSiTE Flow

  1. No single water picture

    Meters, tanker entries and manual readings sit in different places. Nobody can say exactly where the water went yesterday.

  2. Audits are snapshots

    A water audit once a year is outdated within weeks, and the gaps it found are rarely tracked to closure.

  3. Losses hide in the balance

    Leaks, overflows and unmetered draws show up only as a number that doesn’t add up.

IONSiTE Flow grows with you, step by step

Start with Connect and add Assure and Optimise on the same data. Each step is a complete offer with its own outcome.

Step 01 · Foundation

Connect

“Where is our water going right now?”

Bring every water source, meter and reading into one live plant water balance.

Included in IONSiTE Flow Connect

Meter & source integration · Live water balance · Water KPIs · Data quality checks

Next: Assure

  1. Meter & source integration

    Flow meters, levels, borewell and tanker entries, plus manual readings, in one model.

  2. Live water balance

    Intake → treatment → process → discharge, node by node, updated continuously.

  3. Water KPIs

    Specific water consumption, recycle ratio and freshwater intake per unit of production.

  4. Data quality checks

    Flags for frozen meters, missing readings and implausible values before they distort the balance.

Step 02 · Insight

Assure

“Where are we losing water, and why?”

Turn the balance into a continuous digital water audit that finds and explains losses.

Included in IONSiTE Flow Assure

Digital water audit · Loss & imbalance detection · Anomaly alerts · Benchmarking

Next: Optimise

  1. Digital water audit

    Structured audit of every node and circuit, refreshed continuously rather than yearly.

  2. Loss & imbalance detection

    Unaccounted water located by node and circuit, not just as a plant total.

  3. Anomaly alerts

    Leaks, overflows and abnormal draws flagged as they happen.

  4. Benchmarking

    Compare against design values, history, targets and similar units.

Step 03 · Action

Optimise

“How do we use less water and prove it?”

Plan reuse, set targets and drive water-saving actions through to measured results.

Included in IONSiTE Flow Optimise

Reuse & recycle scenarios · Targets & savings tracking · Actions into IONSiTE Care · Sustainability reporting

Works with
IONSiTE Lens Optimise IONSiTE Care Optimise

  1. Reuse & recycle scenarios

    What-if analysis, e.g. routing RO reject or condensate to cooling-tower make-up.

  2. Targets & savings tracking

    Set reduction targets by area and track realised savings against them.

  3. Actions into IONSiTE Care

    Every finding becomes an owned, tracked action, not a line in a report.

  4. Sustainability reporting

    Water intensity, reuse and discharge data ready for ESG and compliance reporting.

In practice

From signal to result, on one platform

  1. Connect

    See it

    Specific water use is 18% above benchmark this month.

  2. Assure

    Find it

    The audit shows 9% of intake unaccounted for at cooling-tower make-up.

  3. Optimise

    Fix it

    A Care work order is raised to inspect the make-up valve and overflow line.

  4. Optimise

    Prove it

    The balance closes and savings are tracked against the plant target.

Illustrative scenario. Figures are examples, not customer results.

Who it’s for

Built for the people who run the plant

  1. Plant head

    One number for water performance, and confidence it is real.

  2. Utilities manager

    Find losses fast and target the right circuit.

  3. EHS & sustainability

    Audit-ready water data and reporting.

  4. Corporate water lead

    Compare sites on a like-for-like basis.
