One of the characteristics of water and wastewater treatment is that the influent pollutants have complex components and with high variability both in quality and quantity. However, the requirements for the quality of the effluent are relatively high, which has become a major challenge in treatment. Typical water treatment is based on theoretical theory and quite relies on personnel experience, but the actual situation is often more complex and changeable than that. With the improvement and popularization of IoT (Internet of Things) and AI (artificial intelligence) technologies, water treatment problems involving complex parameters can be solved. First, the water quality data are collected by on-line sensors combining with laboratory water quality data and operating parameters, by using the big data technology to proceed data. Then, the data are sent to the intelligent software for searching optimum operation parameters. The results are sent back to the facilities for real-time control. Industrial Technology Research Institute, Taiwan (ITRI) has introduced AIoT technology to the biological treatment, coagulation sedimentation, membrane filtration, advanced oxidation process and other processes of water/wastewater treatment in the area of city water purification, domestic sewage treatment, science park wastewater treatment, industrial wastewater treatment, and water recycling. And, has laid the foundation for the digital transformation of Taiwan's water industry. This briefing will introduce the promotion of ITRI's AIoT technology in the field of smart water treatment.
