Data Bites #23: getting things done with data in government
Andrew Engeli, Deputy Director for Environmental Monitoring for Health Protection at the UK Health Security Agency, on the challenges of developing novel data sources in the context of the pandemic response

Also worth noting British Water Board of Directors:
https://www.britishwater.co.uk/page/BoardofDirectors
EPS presence should immediately jump out. Arup also notably represented ( https://www.arup.com/-/media/arup/files/publications/w/wastewater-for-health.pdf ).
Deepverge have never been on any government radar, it’s all a figment of Brandon’s imagination just like COVID detection for cruise ships ,breathylisers for COVID or lung disease China deals and all the rest of his pipe dreams.. he’s a Walter Mitty character and is a danger to investors.
I think the bit about
' Thank you to the Canadian government for work with us and highlighting us in the region as an example of innovative technology coming out of Canada.'
Is a good example of government and industry working together thus is something I feel us lacking in the UK.
So the BoD was up for re-election in 2019 so 3 years later they are up for re-election this year. They should have the AGM circular and proxy up ASAP.
Which makes it even worse that a Canadian co with an inferior offering is winning large projects in the UK we should be winning. Something’s not right.

Not even close.
RB40 No comment.
NU good find.
I thought we had the Olympics tied up and these guys also borne out of ecoli like our product was. They seem to be ahead of us.

At the risk of sounding redundant I think GB has little credibility and the best thing he can do is step aside into NED role and let someone else be CEO and drive the business. Have a strategic review and bin possibly LFTs and concentrate on core businesses.
Have someone to reenergise but also get the trust of the city.

Automated Microbiological Water Testing
TECTA-PDS now approved by Philippine Department of Health! We are so proud to announce that the Philippine Department of Health has recently adopted our innovative and groundbreaking water testing technology for quicker, more accurate and remote testing of drinking water. TECTA-PDS is please and delighted to be adding another global market to our growing list of regions adopting our revolutionary way of testing drinking water for contaminants.
This week, we’re in Abu Dhabi, UAE for the International Water Summit, taking place at the ADNEC (National convention center) where TECTA-PDS is officially launching into the market in the Middle East. Thank you to the Canadian government for work with us and highlighting us in the region as an example of innovative technology coming out of Canada.

Pollution detector that does not need a lab

I cant find anything that says deepverge were actually involved.
what we do know is that post pandemic there are contracts in the UK for 4,000 WWTP's to be monitored each day, the samples are sent to labs to look for covid, and when found look for the variants. They will also be using those samples for other public health measures, which is where the polio is likely to have been picked up.
The thing about all that public health sampling, it is not sustainable, it is graduates dipping manually, sending all the samples to a lab via a van. Covid is not going away, and might change again, governments would look daft if they stopped the monitoring.
Deepverge solutions is there, it is ready for the world. It just needs the governments to implement it.
There is a bigger plan, that the units don't cost £25k to make, but £2k...when the company gets to that vision, it will make waste water epidemiology affordable in almost any country on the planet, and without the need for highly educated folk to manage the process. It could create a huge health screening sentinel system for the world.
While we wait for the smaller hundreds of orders, the vision for the future is much grander than that.
I wonder if we even pitched for it?

RS Hydro Secures Major UK Tender for Wastewater
In a landmark achievement, RS Hydro has won the UKs largest framework for the provision of multi-parameter onsite water quality monitoring systems for the monitoring of final effluent waste water. The four-year framework, with the option of two further two-year extensions, is thought to be worth £2 million and is the first of its kind in the UK.
This has come at a time when the monitoring of our water quality resources has been highly publicised both within the industry and through popular media and social networking, most recently entering the Houses of Parliament for debate on the current sewage situation in the UK.
Rather uniquely, this whole contract was born from Scottish Water's innovation department and based on the following requirements:
A system that can be adapted/customised to varying monitoring needs and situations, including but not limited to: no mains power, treatment works design, parameter choice and sensor location.
An intuitive cloud-based data system.
Provision of training.
Minimal or off-grid power source (ideally solar).
Minimal maintenance.
A system that will allow operators to understand WWTW performance and unexpected events/pollution incidents.
"The Proteus probe and supporting wireless telemetry systems met all of these criteria with the highest score amongst all nine bidders and is currently under trial with Scottish Water". The Proteus is a unique and patented technology on the global market that allows it to measure BOD, COD, DOC, TOC, coliforms alongside a multitude of other standard water quality parameters such as turbidity, dissolved oxygen, ammonium, pH/ORP, conductivity and temperature. With Proteus, the innovation isn't limited to just the individual sensors as the multi-parameter sensor platform and wireless telemetry system will support seamless integration into Scottish Water's sensor data systems, creating the ultimate innovative platform in water quality monitoring.
We are really excited about working with Scottish Water and raising the bar for the whole of the UK for water quality monitoring. With the current press about the quality of our rivers, we are hopeful that this backing of innovation will ultimately lead to an improvement in water quality for all of our rivers and bathing waters. The Proteus will provide real-time monitoring and alerts to Scottish Water, allowing it to react quickly to any incidents in a timely manner or indeed provide feedback/feed forward control to its wastewater assets. Proteus was only launched in 2018 and is proving to be a global success story.

It was RShydro who were in the news recently doing water testing
With the polio virus detected in London sewage - the recent case should give us all pause for thought as to the necessity of real time water monitoring and the potential for water monitoring devices. Was Deepverge technology involved I wonder?
We know about the flow duration monitors but this mentions real-time testing for quality.
https://committees.parliament.uk/oralevidence/10456/pdf/
Many of our recommendations were
around increased use of technology to allow monitoring to take place
remotely and in real time. The Government recognised that, and one of
the key provisions and amendments that went into the Environment Bill
when it was going through your House was that water assets should have
monitoring devices upstream and downstream of every outfall from a
treatment facility or a sewage storm overflow. That is in the order of
22,000 locations across England. That is going into the next capital plans
that will be approved by Ofwat for the water companies, and will allow for
monitoring to be made available to the companies themselves in—as I
think the legislation says—near real time.
The water companies will be able to identify where there is a problem, as
opposed to the situation at the moment where, in many cases, the event
duration monitor will tell when there is a spillage but not what impact it is
having on the receiving water. A small spillage into a fast and large river
will have negligible impact, but a small spillage of the same volume into a
small stream could have a very significant impact. Testing what happens
in the water and making that available to the company, then to the
Environment Agency and then to the public will transform our
understanding about what is going wrong, which will allow the
Environment Agency in particular to change the way it polices incidents.
