Water & Wastewater Treatment

Keep Pumps, Blowers, and Motors Healthy With Predictive Intelligence.

Water and wastewater plants rely almost entirely on rotating equipment. If a pump or blower drifts from normal, the entire process is at risk.

Why Water & Wastewater Treatment Chooses Chladni

Your plant depends on:

Influent & Effluent Pumps

Sludge Pumps

Lift Station Pumps

Return Activated Sludge (RAS) & WAS Pumps

Mixers & Agitators

Aeration Blowers

The Real Problems Water Utilities Face

These problems are usually detectable in vibration long before the operator sees symptoms.

A blower degrading

We use your vibration data to detect:

poor aeration → failing effluent quality

Micro-instability

A lift station pump vibrating

We use your vibration data to detect:

clogging risk → overflow events

Micro-instability

A clarifier drive wearing

We use your vibration data to detect:

uneven sludge removal → process imbalance

Micro-instability

A mixer drifting

We use your vibration data to detect:

chemical distribution problems

Micro-instability

A high-energy pump running rough

We use your vibration data to detect:

excessive electricity cost

Micro-instability

A sludge pump bearing degrading

We use your vibration data to detect:

solids buildup → emergency callouts

Micro-instability

How Chladni Works

Learn the Normal Behavior

Sensors monitor vibration and temperature continuously.

Spot Early Mechanical Drift

AI identifies even the smallest deviations — long before failure.

Diagnose the Cause

Physics-based rules identify misalignment, bearing issues, unbalance, and cavitation.

Predict Severity & Urgency

The system forecasts how fast the drift is progressing.

Guide Your Teams

Operators receive clear explanations of what's happening and how to fix it.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Will installing Chladni require us to re-validate our equipment or file a new regulatory submission?

No.Chladni is designed as a Non-Invasive Overlay.

  • No PLC Contact: Our sensors are completely independent of your machine’s control logic. We do not write back to the PLC or alter process parameters.

  • No Re-Validation: Because the installation does not impact the validated state or control strategy of the equipment, it typically qualifies as a "monitoring-only" addition, requiring no re-validation or complex change control.

How is the hardware installed? Do we need to shut down the line? A: Installation is wireless, tool-free, and requires zero downtime.

Installation is wireless, tool-free, and requires zero downtime.

  • Wireless & Non-Invasive: Our sensors attach to the external chassis of your assets (motors, pumps, gearboxes) using industrial-grade adhesive.

  • Rapid Deployment: A single line can be outfitted in under a few hours without stopping production.

Are the sensors safe for Cleanroom and GMP environments?

Yes. Our pharma-grade sensor nodes are designed with smooth, non-shedding enclosures that are IP67/IP69K rated. They are resistant to standard cleaning agents (VHP, Isopropyl Alcohol) and do not introduce particulate risk into sterile environments.

Does this system comply with Data Integrity (ALCOA+)?

Absolutely. While Chladni operates as a monitoring layer, all data is encrypted end-to-end, time-stamped, and immutable. We provide full audit trails for every alert and user interaction, supporting your site’s 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11 compliance strategies.

Can we integrate this data into our existing e-Logbook or MES?

Yes. We don't want to create a data silo. Chladni offers an open API to feed machine health status directly into your existing MES (e.g., Werum PAS-X, Rockwell PharmaSuite) or Quality Management System, automating the "Maintenance Required" entry in your electronic logbooks.
