    Greenbank Group logo

    Greenbank Group

    United Kingdom

    A specialist engineering company with a global customer base. Greenbank provides a wide range of products and services to companies operating across a number of industries and is now establishing itself in the clean and wastewater sector. For many years the company has utilised the unique properties of volcanic basalt for lining products used in heavy industries such as power generation and minerals extraction. In partnership with Czech firm Eutit, the company has also been pioneering the use of basalt in the renovation and restoration of sewer systems in central European following a series of successful projects in Prague. As a result of devastating floods, the city’s sewer system was extensively rebuilt and upgraded with basalt being used in a number of key locations to provide a new level of security to the system. More than a decade on, the new system continues to perform well and has set a standard that’s now been followed in other European cities. Well suited for the most demanding of applications, thanks to the partnership between Greenbank and Eutit, a wide range of basalt solutions are now available in the UK market. These include products and systems that bring a wide range of benefits to the industry, including: Basalt tiles that can also be used to line existing brickwork, a more cost-effective solution than full replacement, and their reduced drag co-efficient means improved flow – in effect a smaller-diameter pipe or tunnel lined with basalt can carry a higher volume of water than a larger one with traditional brick surfaces. The effective life expectancy of basalt-lined sewer systems is between 100 and 200 years, thanks to their excellent resistance to abrasion and chemical damage – as well as the rigours of high-pressure water jetting that’s often used to clear unwanted blockages. For larger round or ovoid systems, basalt can be used in the lower sections to deal with the wear and tear with concrete upper sections to provide optimum life performance. Alternatively, steel pipes lined with basalt can be produced up to 3000mm diameter producing a lighter therefore lower cost installation option to thick wall concrete. Ease of installation and reduced maintenance costs make basalt ideal for bottom gutters, branch pipes and tubes and slip-resistant elements for walkways, and Greenbank can also supply bespoke-shaped tiles to meet the unique requirements of individual clients. With manufacturing facilities in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, supported by the additional capacity and expertise provided by the latest addition to the group, Franklyn Yates Engineering, Greenbank is well placed to react quickly and efficiently to the needs of new and existing clients.

    Applying Machine Learning and AI to Water Treatment Operations

    AI in water treatment operates at three layers: process optimization (real-time setpoint control of coagulant dose, RO flux, aeration blower output), predictive maintenance (vibration- and current-signature-based failure prediction on pumps, motors, blowers), and anomaly detection (cyber-physical intrusion, sensor drift, pipe-burst signatures in pressure data). Models range from regression-based digital twins calibrated against historical SCADA data to deep neural networks trained on tens of millions of timestamped tag values from utility historians (PI, Wonderware, Ignition).

    The leverage is measurable: AI-driven coagulant dose optimization reduces chemical consumption 10–30% versus jar-test-based control while maintaining turbidity targets; AI aeration control reduces activated-sludge blower energy 15–25% versus DO-only PID control; predictive maintenance on critical pumps extends MTBF 20–40% and reduces unplanned downtime 30–60%. Vendors typically deliver as a SaaS overlay (Edge gateway + cloud inference) without replacing the underlying DCS/PLC, integrating via OPC-UA, Modbus TCP, or MQTT.

    Adoption barriers are data quality (sensor calibration, historian gaps), cybersecurity (NIS2 Directive in EU, US AWIA requirements), and operator trust. Best-practice deployment proves value on a single unit operation for 6–12 months before scaling. Aguato lists AI water-treatment providers with proven case studies across municipal and industrial sites, including those compliant with NIS2, AWIA Section 2013, and IEC 62443 cybersecurity standards.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can AI actually reduce chemical consumption in a water treatment plant?

    Yes — peer-reviewed deployments show 10–30% reduction in coagulant (alum, ferric chloride, PACl) when AI-driven feed-forward control replaces jar-test-based manual setpoints. The AI ingests raw water turbidity, pH, temperature, UVA, and historical performance to predict optimal dose every 1–5 minutes while maintaining settled-water turbidity within a tighter band. Payback is typically 12–24 months on a mid-sized municipal plant.

    How does predictive maintenance with AI differ from condition-based monitoring?

    Condition-based monitoring triggers alerts on threshold crossings (e.g., vibration >5 mm/s). AI-driven predictive maintenance ingests multivariate time series — vibration spectrum, motor current signature, lubricant and bearing temperature, flow, pressure — and predicts remaining useful life (RUL) in days or weeks, often 4–8 weeks before threshold breach. This window enables planned downtime, parts staging, and crew scheduling instead of emergency response.

    What data do I need before deploying AI in my plant?

    A minimum of 12 months of timestamped historian data at 1–5 minute granularity across the relevant unit operation: inlet quality, process setpoints, equipment runtime, and effluent quality. Sensor calibration records must be current. Most AI vendors will scope an initial data-quality audit and may require 3–6 months of additional instrumentation (online TOC, NH₄, UVA) before model training begins. Plan for cybersecurity review under NIS2 or AWIA before any cloud connectivity is enabled.

    Is AI water treatment cybersecure for critical infrastructure?

    Properly deployed, yes. Best practice is Purdue Model network segmentation with an air-gapped DCS/PLC layer, an Edge gateway on Level 2.5 publishing read-only data to cloud inference, and write-back control limited to advisory-only or signed setpoint updates. Compliance with the UK NIS Regulations 2018, EU NIS2 Directive, and IEC 62443 zone/conduit framework should be contractually required. Providers should be able to demonstrate SOC 2 Type II audits and relevant water-sector cybersecurity accreditations.

    Case Study·Large municipal water treatment works, 120,000 m3/day, North West England
    Challenge

    The works was operating coagulant dosing on a fixed manual setpoint that required operator adjustment 2 to 3 times per day during variable source water conditions. Average coagulant consumption was 45 mg/L as Al2O3 regardless of source water NOM, and settled water turbidity exceeded 2 NTU on 6% of operating hours, creating compliance risk.

    Approach

    An AI-driven process control platform was integrated with the existing SCADA historian, ingesting real-time inlet turbidity, UV254, pH, temperature, and flow data. A machine learning model was trained on 18 months of historical operating data to predict optimal PACl dose. The model output was implemented as a setpoint recommendation accepted or overridden by the operator.

    Outcome

    Average coagulant dose fell from 45 to 31 mg/L over a 12-month evaluation period, a reduction of 31%, saving approximately GBP 180,000 per year in chemical cost. Hours where settled water turbidity exceeded 2 NTU fell from 6% to 0.8%. Operator confidence in accepting the AI recommendation reached 94% by month 8, enabling the works to move from advisory to semi-automatic coagulant dose control.

    Questions to Ask Shortlisted Providers

    1. 1

      What minimum data quality and historian coverage do you require before your model can be trained, and what data gaps or sensor deficiencies have you encountered in previous utility deployments?

      AI model performance is entirely dependent on training data quality; providers who have not assessed data quality before quoting performance guarantees are making unsupportable claims.

    2. 2

      Does your platform comply with the UK NIS Regulations 2018 and IEC 62443 for industrial control system cybersecurity, and can you provide a network architecture diagram showing data flows and control write-back points?

      AI platforms connected to water treatment control systems are in-scope for the UK NIS Regulations; network architecture review is essential before any cloud-connected system is deployed on a critical infrastructure site.

    3. 3

      What is the fallback behaviour of the control system if the AI platform becomes unavailable (network outage, cloud failure), and is this documented in the site's operational procedures?

      AI platforms must fail gracefully to manual operation without creating a process upset; the failback procedure must be tested and documented as part of commissioning.

    4. 4

      How is model drift detected and corrected when source water quality changes seasonally or due to upstream land use changes?

      AI models trained on historical data degrade when the operating environment changes; a defined model retraining and drift detection protocol is essential for long-term performance.

    5. 5

      What performance guarantee do you offer, expressed as a percentage reduction in chemical or energy consumption versus a validated baseline measurement period, and what is the financial remedy if the guarantee is not achieved?

      Performance guarantees must be expressed in measurable, verifiable terms against a documented baseline; guarantees referencing 'typical improvement' without a financial remedy are marketing statements, not contractual commitments.

    What Drives Cost in This Category

    Number of unit operations to be optimised

    Each additional unit operation (coagulation, aeration, UV, membrane flux) requires a separate model development and integration effort; platforms that cover multiple unit operations under a single licence provide better value per process improvement.

    Instrumentation gaps requiring sensor additions

    If the site lacks online UV254, ammonia, or flow meters required by the AI model, sensor procurement and installation adds capital cost before any software benefit is realised.

    Cybersecurity compliance and network infrastructure

    NIS-compliant network segmentation, encrypted data flows, and edge gateway hardware represent 15 to 30% of total AI platform deployment cost for sites that lack an existing OT/IT boundary architecture.

    Integration with existing SCADA and DCS vendors

    Integration with non-standard or legacy SCADA systems requires bespoke connector development that adds professional services cost; standard OPC-UA and Modbus TCP interfaces significantly reduce integration effort.

    Key Regulations & Standards

    UK NIS Regulations 2018

    Requires operators of essential services including drinking water to implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures for network and information systems, including AI platforms connected to operational technology.
