Abstract Text

In today’s ever evolving world, the technological tools for optimization that are available to us as humans also continue to evolve.  In the past 50 years, there is a stark contrast from where we initiated operationally to where we are today.  We have gone from a primarily manual operation to a more advanced, connected, smart operation environment.

In this session, we will focus on the progress of that technology in water processing, on the tools that are available today, and on how these tools can be implemented to improve efficiencies of operation.  In addition to exploring the benefits of this technological progress, we will also touch on the necessity of cybersecurity as we continue to advance.
