Key Issues Addressed

Smart-IoT enabled and digitalized sustainable solutions are the key growth factors in the water industry, which is characterized by an increasing stress of water resources across the globe. The municipal water market is set to extensively adopt new communication technologies like LPWAN, which is suited to support IoT, and explore AI and robotic sol...

Sludge generated during the wastewater treatment process typically contains a large amount of water, microorganisms, and chemical constituents. Sludge requires further treatment to reduce its volume and render it stable and safe for disposal. The main purpose of treatment is volume reduction of water and pathogen content to facilitate safe disposal...

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the water sector. Operational resilience and economic sustainability have become key focal points of investments due to the pandemic. The lockdowns due to the pandemic across the globe have severely disrupted supply chains and labour availability for production; both factors have significantly hit th...

Indias overall water demand will double by 2050, growing at a CAGR of 1.5% from 2010 to 2050. Per capita water availability has dropped drastically between 1950 and 2000, and has been decreasing ever since. Inefficient water management practices are the reason for todays situation. Water crisis in India is imminent and is exacerbated because of f...

The produced water (PW) treatment market in Southeast Asia is currently facing challenges such as high cost in intensive technologies, lack of knowledge on produced water management and public acceptance towards treatment technologies. However, increase in oil production, ageing oilfields, stringent effluent discharge regulations and water conserva...

Water utility services are a priority market for governments and private operators. An estimated value of $450 billion was spent on its operations in 2014, driven by the need to build, renew, and improve water and sanitation infrastructure. Need for sustainability and for a circular economy trains focus on innovation and efficiency measures to be d...

This edition of the Industrial Bioprocessing TOE features information on synthesis of cellulosic ethanol via integrated enzyme technology, AI-driven insect farming with automated vertical stacks, enhanced selectivity and permeability through osmosis for water filtration, lithium-ion battery recycling using ultrasonic oil-water emulsions, among othe...

Wastewater treatment, reuse and recycling are gaining prominence globally. The average length of the wastewater networks is much smaller than the water networks across regions. This shows that the Governments have focused on establishing water networks to provide clean water to various requirements. With water mis-management, improper disposal of w...

Sub-Saharan Africa lags behind most regions in the world in the availability, accessibility, and management of water. A key challenge for water utilities here is the high water losses in the water reticulation network. These are physical water losses due to leakages as well as apparent losses due to water theft and improper metering. Together, thes...
