As the UK water industry advances toward AMP8, the pressure to deliver on ambitious goals ranging from safe, high quality drinking water to smart networks has never been greater. Success hinges on actionable data, operational efficiency, and technologies that align with both regulatory priorities and environmental stewardship.

The table below maps each AMP8 goal to a corresponding capability, showing how

our solutions empower utilities to meet and exceed their targets.

AMP8 Goals vs. Photonic Measurements Capabilities

AMP8 Goal	Photonic Measurements Capability
Safe, High-Quality Drinking Water	Real-time monitoring of UV254, UVT, and UVA to detect organic contaminants and optimize disinfection, reducing disinfection by-products (DBPs).
Environmental Protection	Nitrate, TSS, and MLSS measurement instruments support pollution control and regulatory compliance in wastewater and environmental monitoring. Measuring COD in real time to identify failing assets early and reduce environmental impact.
Leakage Reduction & Efficiency	Continuous data from inline and online systems to optimize treatment processes and minimize operational inefficiencies.
Resilience to Climate Change	Reagent-free sensors with automated cleaning for low-maintenance, reliable performance under variable conditions.
Customer Satisfaction	Portable UV254 devices deliver rapid, accurate results to field teams, improving responsiveness and stakeholder trust.
Carbon Reduction & Net-Zero	Nitrate monitoring enables efficient aeration control, cutting energy consumption by up to 75% of plant load.
Smart Networks & Innovation	Seamless IOT/SCADA integration for real-time data analytics, supporting predictive maintenance and data-driven decision-making.
Affordability & Social Value	UK-manufactured, ISO-certified instruments offer durability, reduced lifecycle costs, and local economic value.
