Unlocking the Power of Modular Systems in Water Treatment
Contamination remains one of the most pressing issues in water treatment. Pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and microplastics pose significant health risks. Furthermore, pathogens, including bacteria and viruses can enter water sources and lead to outbreaks of waterborne diseases. Population growth and industrialization further stress water resources, highlighting the need for innovative solutions to meet rising demand. The water treatment industry has embraced several transformative technologies to combat contamination effectively and enhance treatment efficiency. These include AI-driven monitoring, advanced filtration systems, smart infrastructure, membrane filtration, bio & carbon-based…
