KETOS SHIELD

KETOS SHIELD is a comprehensive solution for understanding water intelligence in real-time. The innovation and design of the solution acutely focuses on solving for the inadequacies of systems used by operators in water quality monitoring for decades. The turn-key technology stack integrates robotics, material science, data science, AI and IoT for automated, labor-free, fully analyzed actionable metrics at your fingertips. The insights delivered remain crucial for managing water resources efficiently and being proactive about violating any permit limits for effluent discharge water.

The SHIELD enables high-frequency, EPA-compliant, lab-accurate onsite and online water sampling, offering an extensive monitoring capability spanning over 36+ quality parameters. The breadth of monitoring covers a broad spectrum of environmental factors such as temperature, conductivity, salinity, and pH, along with critical components like alkalinity, residual chlorine, total hardness, heavy metals (including copper, iron, lead, arsenic), and essential nutrients like orthophosphates and nitrates.

The flexibility and choice of interchangeability of parameters within a system based on organizational and operator needs is a first in the Industry, empowering users to leverage data for smarter, safer, and more sustainable decision-making.

Truly Autonomous Water Quality Monitoring

KETOS hardware is installed on-site. The equipment is self-cleaning and self-calibrating to make sampling genuinely autonomous, which is a unique offering compared to any other legacy solution. Results are relayed directly via the KETOS software platform to a water operator's device in real-time for easy monitoring and 24/7 access. This allows for greater decision-making capabilities based on water data easily visible anywhere and anytime (even when operators are off-site).

The SHIELD operates under an affordable $0-CAPEX DaaS model. This removes concerns around up-front budgets for large purchases, the worrisome shelf life of equipment, or concerns surrounding new technology adoption (knowledge ramp up etc.) – all of which accompany traditional monitoring solutions.

The DaaS (Data as a Service) approach creates a mutual partnership with all equipment and software owned, maintained, serviced and upgraded by KETOS personnel. Clients pay one low annual subscription fee and get lab-accurate water results delivered directly to them for much higher visibility and a larger testing frequency at a significantly lower price — with KETOS eliminating expensive lab, manual sampling, and equipment costs while simultaneously reducing manual labor. KETOS also monitors its entire fleet 24/7 remotely, providing an additional set of eyes for the operators.

The cost savings on OpEx alone provide the ROI for the organizations. However, the additional value of cost avoidance, risk mitigation, sustainability reporting & management, along with the tertiary benefits of automation, carbon reduction, and integrated value management of multiple sources of data for plants and sites based on KETOS data, has been a key factor for standardization.

SHIELD water monitoring offers various use cases:

Water quality intelligence for next-gen Infrastructure: KETOS' proprietary monitoring systems enable continuous, real-time monitoring of 36+ water quality parameters, including heavy metals (copper, iron, lead, and arsenic, and more), providing timely detection of anomalies for affordable, dynamic, and frequent monitoring that replaces the traditional static, manual, labor-intensive and cost-prohibitive approach.

Data Analytics and Insights: KETOS' advanced data analytics platform processes millions of sensor data to generate actionable insights and predictive analytics. The automation of collection, analysis, and presentation of metrics empowers clients to proactively manage water quality risks and optimize operational efficiency while enacting and reporting on internal ESG and sustainability initiatives.

Regulatory Compliance Solutions: KETOS offers regulatory compliance solutions tailored to assist clients in meeting stringent water quality regulations and sustainability/ESG reporting requirements. By automating data collection, analysis, and reporting processes and allowing customers to customize their testing parameters and contaminant thresholds, KETOS helps clients streamline compliance efforts and mitigate regulatory risks.

Customized Solutions: KETOS collaborates closely with clients to develop customized, modular monitoring solutions tailored to meet the specific needs and operational challenges of any type of infrastructure, even in challenging or remote conditions. Whether deployed in municipal water utilities, industrial facilities, agricultural operations, research laboratories, or in remote locations with varying weather and temperature conditions, KETOS is designed to capture water data accurately and promptly for various water matrices.

KETOS SHIELD can test drinking water, groundwater, produced water, wastewater discharge, surface water and more.
