About
We didn’t initially set out to eliminate water waste from the built environment.
Our objective was to reduce the impact of unnecessary water use and contamination on a wastewater treatment plant, and ultimately, the environment. It didn’t take long for us to realize the real problems were inside the buildings. We needed a way to monitor water use and understand its operation in real-time before we could resolve water issues. But this proved impossible when so much of the system was hidden and out-of-sight.
The seed of The Big Idea was born.
Using advanced IoT concepts as the foundation, we tested prototypes at several locations. Success quickly followed.
Every minute of every day our technology monitors and informs operations staff of the nature and location of water use issues – then guides them to resolve concerns before they become big problems. With Apana, operators now have valuable data at their fingertips to review, allowing them to reduce water use and bank savings.
Our big idea, realized.
After years of working to make water-intensive operations more efficient, our Water Efficiency as a Service™ offers a cost-effective, secure and scalable way to reduce water costs and waste for industrial and commercial customers.
Our platform goes beyond lowering the direct cost of water – we continuously scan your water infrastructure for mechanical malfunctions and analyze operational processes to identify hidden inefficiencies 24 hours a day.
Armed with real-time data, you then can quickly prevent problems before they become costly wastes of water, time, and money and refine and optimize your water use processes to reduce your total cost of water.
