Method for remote monitoring of water treatment systems
First Claim
1. A method for remotely monitoring the operating performance parameters for a water treatment system, comprising the steps of:
- a)providing at least one sensor assembly effective for monitoring critical water parameters and transmitting raw operating data via a communications interface;
b) coupling at least one said sensor to an Internet server computer via said communications interface;
c) transmitting said raw data using to a remotely located Internet server computer;
d) storing said transmitted raw data on said Internet server computer;
e) accessing such data asynchronously from said Internet server computer;
f) manipulating said transmitted and stored raw data into an analysis result and a report result; and
g) uploading said analysis result and said report result to an Internet web server in a format suitable for access and visualization with a web browser computer program.

Abstract
A method of monitoring the daily operating performance parameters for water treatment processes through the collection of localized data. The data is manipulated to generate preconfigured performance, maintenance, and quality assurance reports and further provide automatic submission of data as required for regulatory review of certain water treatment systems such as potable water treatment. The data is collected from sensors located at an equipment site and transferred to a remote computer located by use of the Internet, further all data received and used for generation of reports is also accessible by Internet connection and be delivered directly to the regulatory agency without additional process.
