Water Technology Trends 2022
Foreword
Since the pandemic began, utilities have had no choice but to adapt to the new scenario of uncertainty. Over the last two years, we have learned about the importance of sound water management in our daily lives, and how innovation can open the floodgates to the future. Our responsibility in the water industry is to ensure that future generations have access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. For this to happen, utilities will need to digitally transform water cycle management over the next few years. Citizens in the 21st century are demanding intelligent use of our most precious resource. In this sense, growing concerns about the environmental impact of processes will encourage the adoption of technologies that reduce our water, carbon, and energy footprints. On the road to tackling these current challenges, we will only succeed if we have a solid business vision to guide the transformation of data into information for decision-making. This is how utilities can determine the best way to move forward. The technology trends for 2022 reviewed in this whitepaper (Digital Twins, AMI, GIS, 5G, AI, and intelligent asset management) will bring innovative use cases that will transform the industry. The time to build a more sustainable world is now. The future of water is not only about technology, but also about people. Unlike machines, we can combine technologies and knowledge to transform today’s management. The journey to unlocking value through digital transformation has just started, and the most innovative utilities are already on board.

Trends and Perspectives In Industrial Water Treatment
Introduction
Water is vital for industry, both at the national and at the international level. The water technology of the industrial sector differs fundamentally from that of the municipal sector as a function of the specific needs of each sector. In the industrial sector, these requirements vary strongly between industries and locations so that standardized solutions are not possible (cf. Fig. 1). Rather, the different needs call for a combination of methodical/technical know-how and customized process technology. In view of the close interaction between production and water technology, integrative technologies and management systems are called for. An integrated, sustainable industrial water management curbs the dependency on natural water resources and other influencing factors such as energy or the regulatory framework. It is therefore not only relevant for the domestic market, but also boosts the export of technologies, equipment, engineering and other services and enhances the competitiveness of German companies in the international markets. The Process Net Subject Division “Production-integrated Water and Waste Water Technology” examines the state of-the-art of science and technology and new perspectives in the field of production-integrated (waste) water treatment. The division’s aim is to integrate the industrial utilization of water into the entire water economy with consideration of sociological effects and to consistently improve its ecological and economic efficiency. The Subject Division offers a forum for the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and experiences among experts from industrial production, process development, environmental technology, plant engineering and construction as well as from engineering contractors, associations and the relevant authorities. In the process, new needs for R&D and application are identified and the technology transfer from scientific research to commercial implementation is promoted. r aus der Wissenschaft in die industrielle Praxis gefördert.
