Root Cause Analysis

Stop Treating Symptoms, Solve the Real Problem

If your water system keeps having the same issues like blocked intake pipes and filters, biofouling, or unexpected shutdown – it’s a sign that something deeper needs attention. More cleaning, more biocide, or more maintenance may help for a while, but they won’t fix the root of the problem. That’s where Root Cause Analysis can help.

What is Root Cause Analysis?

Root Cause Analysis is a detailed check of your system to understand why problems keep coming back. Instead of just solving the symptoms, we look in detail at the whole system to find out what’s causing the problem and how to stop it from happening again.

This could include reviewing how your water flows, how chemicals are added, the condition of your equipment, and even seasonal changes in the seawater.

Why It Matters

If you’re seeing repeated issues like:

  • Biofouling despite regular biocide dosing
  • Chlorine overdosing without consistent results
  • High OPEX due to frequent maintenance or cleanings
  • Electrochlorination unit is not operating according to specifications
  • Screen or debris system failures during jellyfish or fish events

…it’s time to look deeper.

Root Cause Analysis helps avoid temporary fixes by identifying the actual process, system, or design failures behind your challenges.

How It Works

  • We start with an on-site or remote evaluation of your water intake or cooling system, including operational history and known problem areas.
  • Then we collect and analyse key data flow patterns, dosing behavior, seasonal trends, type and age of species, biological load profiles, equipment specifications and condition, and historical failures.
  • Our team identifies inefficiencies, vulnerabilities or design flaws that contribute to recurring problems. We act as an expert witness in case of disputes related to a biofouling issue.
  • You receive a clear, prioritized roadmap of solutions ranging from immediate operational improvements to long-term engineering upgrades.
  • We also offer full support for implementation, including design modifications, operation planning, and technical training.
  • We can also act as an expert witness in case of a dispute.
