In recent years, the global issue of water wastage has garnered significant attention. The theme for the UN World Water Day in 2017, "Wastewater," highlighted the growing concerns surrounding the improper disposal of wastewater. This initiative aimed to raise awareness and prompt organizations worldwide to address wastewater-related challenges. Approximately 80% of wastewater globally is discharged into water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, creating health, environmental, and climate-related hazards. The surge in urbanization has further exacerbated the problem, leading to an increased generation of wastewater. The release of untreated wastewater has also contributed to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically in the form of nitrous oxide and methane. Emissions from sewage wastewater constitute a substantial portion of the overall GHG emissions from wastewater, and this share is expected to grow with the increasing global population.
To combat these challenges, organizations and cities worldwide are investing in wastewater treatment and reuse infrastructure. A notable example is ABB, an industry leader, which, in June 2018, completed the construction of a wastewater treatment plant at its High Voltage and Distribution Solutions factories in BacNinh Province, Vietnam. This facility is equipped with ABB's integrated control and instrumentation package, featuring electromagnetic flow meters, level transmitters, and continuous water analyzers. The plant is specifically designed for wastewater and power management.
Flow computers play a crucial role in automated wastewater treatment systems, forming an integral part of various applications within the process. These applications include water abstraction control, managing water distribution networks, controlling pressure filter systems in water treatment plants, implementing corrosion protection and disinfection measures, and ensuring the production of clean water from treatment facilities, among others. The increasing awareness among organizations regarding the importance of wastewater treatment is expected to fuel the demand for flow computers in the coming years.
As the global population continues to grow, the challenges associated with wastewater management are likely to intensify. Wastewater treatment is not only crucial for environmental conservation but also for mitigating the impact of climate change. The integration of flow computers into wastewater treatment systems contributes to the efficiency, automation, and precision required for effective water management. The example of ABB's wastewater treatment plant in Vietnam showcases how industry leaders are incorporating advanced technologies, including flow computers, to address the complexities of wastewater treatment and management.
In conclusion, the increasing demand for flow computers in wastewater treatment applications is a response to the global imperative of addressing water wastage and pollution. Organizations are recognizing the need for advanced technologies to optimize wastewater treatment processes, and flow computers emerge as integral components in achieving this goal. The growth of flow computers in this context is not just a technological trend but a crucial step toward creating sustainable and responsible solutions for managing one of the world's most precious resources – water.
