Case Study: a largest multinational automotive manufacturer improves water reuse and compliance with KETOS SHIELD

Improved Water Reuse and Increased Water Sustainability with KETOS SHIELD

a multinational automotive manufacturer faced challenges with water monitoring and compliance after a minor permit exceedance. The company, which produces millions of vehicles and parts annually, relied on a mix of manual testing, online analyzers, and off-site labs to sample water up to four times per shift. To address this, they turned to KETOS for a new solution.

KETOS implemented its SHIELD remote monitoring devices to automate water quality tracking in real-time. The system provides constant reporting and sends immediate alerts, allowing the plant to shut down discharge pumps and recirculate water for treatment if any parameter is out of range. This automated, closed-loop solution from KETOS improved NPDES permit compliance, increased water reuse, and decreased the use of freshwater sources, all without a capital outlay for the customer.
