Sustainable water treatment

Water is one of the most important elements of life, and as Earth’s population grows, so too does the demand for it. This increasing demand coupled with more stringent environmental standards and a focus on minimizing their carbon footprint, is driving wastewater treatment plants to find new ways to leverage data for more efficient and sustainable processes.
