US 2026/0296923 A1 · SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING FILTER STATUS

Abstract

An example system for determining a filter status is provided. The system includes a database configured to electronically store data, the data including past performance data of one or more water filtration elements. The system includes a processing device in communication with the database. The processing device is configured to receive as input the past performance data, and identify one or more data points within the past performance data indicative of a cleaning event for the water filtration elements. The processing device is configured to divide the past performance data into individual data segments, each of the individual data segments representing data of the past performance data in-between respective identified cleaning events, fit a mathematical function to each of the individual data segments, and identify a type of fouling or scaling, or a no fouling, or no scaling condition occurring during each of the individual data segments based on the mathematical function fitted to the respective individual data segment.

A system for determining a filter status, comprising:

a database configured to electronically store data, the data including past performance data of one or more water filtration elements;
and
a processing device in communication with the database, the processing device is configured to:
receive as input the past performance data;
identify one or more data points within the past performance data indicative of a cleaning event for the one or more water filtration elements;
divide the past performance data into individual data segments, each of the individual data segments representing data of the past performance data in-between respective identified cleaning events;
fit a mathematical function to each of the individual data segments;
and
identify a type of fouling occurring during each of the individual data segments based on the mathematical function fitted to the respective individual data segment;
wherein the one or more water filtration elements preferably include at least one element selected from the group consisting of an ultrafiltration element, a microfiltration element, a reverse osmosis element,
a nanofiltration element, and a hyperfiltration element;
and
optionally wherein the system further comprises artificial intelligence, machine learning capabilities, or both artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, wherein the artificial intelligence or machine learning capabilities operate to improve identification of fouling types, predictability of fouling events or both identification of fouling types and predictability of fouling events.
