For a leading U.S. semiconductor manufacturer, our sister
company, Gradiant deployed a high-recovery LSR system
achieving 90% water recycling. To further enhance performance,
Turing integrated SmartOps AI, delivering the UF membrane
optimization module (PerformLSR). The platform analyzes large
datasets, recommends optimal setpoints, and provides early
anomaly detection to prevent off-spec conditions.
With secure on-premises deployment and weekly algorithm
updates, SmartOps AI ensures continuous, real-time optimization
and reliable plant performance while supporting the client’s
broader sustainability goals.
The Challenge
The client needed to meet strict effluent quality standards while
increasing membrane recovery and extending membrane lifespan.
Manual monitoring and adjustments couldn’t keep up with the high
variability of influent conditions, membrane health, and
production-driven changes making consistent optimization
difficult. Improving performance, reducing OPEX, and protecting
membrane life required an AI solution capable of processing
hundreds of parameters in real time. At the same time,
cybersecurity demands called for a fully on-premise deployment.
The Solution
Perform module was deployed on-premise, ensuring data security
while providing real-time analysis and recommendations for optimal
operation. Perform module continuously monitors multiple
parameters, and utilizes reinforcement learning to suggest optimal
setpoints to enhance system efficiency. In addition, the Perform
module includes an anomaly detection feature to identify deviations
in performance trends, alerting operators to potential issues before
they escalate.
Ensuring continuous improvement, Turing’s data science team visits
the site weekly to refine the Perform module. This hands-on
approach guarantees that the system remains highly effective and
customized to the client’s specific needs.
The Benefits
- 100% Effluent Compliance: Perform ensures water quality
standards are consistently met, avoiding regulatory
penalties. - Increased Recovery Rates: Optimized setpoints allow for
higher recovery percentages, reducing wastewater and
improving sustainability. - Extended Membrane Lifespan: By preventing
unnecessary strain and identifying potential issues early,
Perform extends membrane durability. - Enhanced Operator Decision-Making: AI-driven insights
support operators in managing complex systems with
greater accuracy and efficiency. - On-Premises Deployment for Cybersecurity: Sensitive
data remains secure within the client’s infrastructure,
meeting strict security requirements. - Continuous Optimization: Weekly algorithm updates by
the data science team ensure ongoing improvements
and maximum operational efficiency.
