Greater performance vs conventional PAC

Liquid Activated Carbon for Micropollutant Removal

Developed and commercialised a first-to-market liquid activated carbon suspension for drinking water and wastewater treatment. Operational deployments have demonstrated up to twelve times the adsorption performance of standard powdered activated carbon, with no contact time requirement and reduced handling risks. The innovation delivers rapid deployment without major capital expenditure and supports emerging contaminant compliance.

Scope: Product development, pilot validation, contaminant removal optimisation, sludge impact reduction, operational deployment.

Risk visualisation for rapid response

Flood Risk Intelligence & Live Dashboard Deployment

Flood defence and risk analytics systems integrate sensor networks, hydrological modelling and real-time dashboards to provide utilities and asset owners with proactive flood intelligence. Deployed platforms enable early warning, scenario modelling and prioritised intervention, reducing response times and mitigating damage to infrastructure and communities. The approach strengthens climate resilience while supporting regulatory compliance.

Scope: Hydrological modelling, dashboard design, sensor integration, data analytics, emergency response workflow integration.

3.5 year

Commercial payback

Solar & Battery Integration for Utility Infrastructure

Delivered integrated solar, battery storage and smart grid trading systems for infrastructure and industrial sites. Live projects demonstrate typical commercial payback periods of approximately 3.5 years while materially reducing operational carbon emissions. The systems optimise on-site generation, enable energy arbitrage and strengthen energy resilience for critical assets.

Scope: Renewable system design, battery integration, grid optimisation software, financial modelling, performance monitoring.

Real Time

leak identification and asset risk forecasting

Smart Water Network Leak Detection Programme

Continuous network monitoring through distributed sensing, pressure analytics, and machine learning-based anomaly detection. The solution identifies leakage events in real time and prioritises high-risk assets before failure occurs, reducing non-revenue water and reactive repair costs. Deployment has strengthened resilience while providing utilities with predictive asset management capability.

Scope: IoT-enabled sensing, cloud data architecture, AI anomaly detection models, predictive maintenance algorithms, operational integration.

Underpinned by WIN member’s 30+ Years of Delivery

WIN’s members collectively represent a vertically integrated water innovation capability that spans sensing, treatment, optimisation, manufacturing, energy and engagement. Together, this is not a loose association of ideas but a delivery-ready ecosystem capable of moving from problem definition and pilot design to engineered systems, commercial rollout and international scale-up across the low-carbon, digitally enabled water sector.
