“By leveraging the strengths of both digital and physical twins, we can create a comprehensive model that accurately reflects real-world conditions. This enables us to optimize processes in ways that were previously unimaginable, ensuring that water reuse facilities can operate more sustainably and cost-effectively," says Diego Rosso, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Irvine.

🚰 🌎 “#Desalination is really a very good asset in a water portfolio because unlike all the other assets that you could put in a water portfolio—surface water, groundwater, even recycling wastewater—all those assets have a strong correlation to drought and climate change. It's a great asset because it’s completely invariant with respect to climate change.” - National Alliance for Water Innovation Director Peter Fiske in a recent The Wall Street Journal article about the connection between the cost of renewable energy and desalination: https://on.wsj.com/3TjFT1n Berkeley Lab

El lema de la Waste360 de este año resulta elocuente: “La basura de una persona puede ser el tesoro de otra”. La primavera suele ser una época propicia para eventos que nos descubren que muchas cosas que conocemos pueden tener usos insospechados si se tocan con la varita mágica de la innovación.

“One person's trash can be another person's treasure.” Thank you to you Eugenio Mallol Sanchis for including Epic Cleantec in this FORBES España piece on the importance of rethinking the notion of "waste." As friend and fellow water reuse evangelist Peter Fiske of the National Alliance for Water Innovation succinctly explains: "No hay razón para usar el agua sólo una vez" ("There is no reason to use water only once") https://lnkd.in/gvD8hRSj

Advancements in water monitoring tech provide utilities with more data than ever for spotting faults in real-time. In the latest issue of ACS ES&T Engineering, Baylor University – alongside Carollo Engineers, United States Military Academy at West Point, and Las Virgenes Municipal Water District – unveils groundbreaking research on real-time fault detection. The study showcases innovative methods for long-term monitoring of ultrafiltration membrane systems involving supervised and unsupervised machine learning. Curious? Read the open-access paper to learn more: Long-Term Statistical Process Monitoring of an Ultrafiltration Water Treatment Process | ACS ES&T Engineering Thanks to the National Alliance for Water Innovation for funding this work through Project 5.17 Data-Driven Fault Detection and Process Control for Potable Reuse with Reverse Osmosis.

Check out our article on the National Alliance for Water Innovation mapping routes to make desalination more affordable and energy efficient from our May issue. In the future, the U.S. water supply will depend increasingly on water recycling and desalination, which currently require huge amounts of energy. To ensure an adequate water supply and meet the nation’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, we need to find a way to make water purification a lot less costly and energy intensive. That’s the raison d’être of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Alliance for Water Innovation (NAWI), which brings together a team of industry, government, and academic partners to solve that critical challenge. In April 2024, DOE announced that it would allocate $75 million over 5 years to fund phase 2 of NAWI’s R&D work. In this interview, Avi Shultz, the director of DOE’s Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO), talks with Municipal Water Leader about NAWI’s goals for phase 2, which include expanding the uses of nontraditional water sources, such as brackish groundwater and various kinds of wastewater, and testing the successful technologies developed in phase 1 in real-world water treatment and supply systems that are decentralized, integrated, energy-efficient, and decarbonized. If the work is successful, says Mr. Shultz, adopting the new approaches will be a no-brainer for utilities and industries. https://bit.ly/3UYTNqK #WaterInnovation #Desalination #EnergyEfficiency #WaterRecycling #SustainableWater #NetZero2050 #NAWI #DOE #WaterPurification #WaterTech #BrackishWater #WastewaterTreatment #Decarbonization #WaterSupply #GreenTechnology #MunicipalWaterLeader #AviShultz #R&D #CleanEnergy #WaterUtilities
