AI guardians: Bridging digital innovation and sustainability for cleaner water
Researchers have developed a framework that utilizes artificial intelligence to enhance wastewater treatment processes. This approach, termed the 'twin transition,' aims to improve environmental safety while maximizing resource recovery. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating digital innovation with sustainable practices in wastewater management.
- ▪The twin transition combines green transformation with digital transformation in wastewater management.
- ▪AI tools can help monitor and optimize wastewater treatment systems in real time.
- ▪Proper management of ammonia-nitrogen can support a circular economy by allowing for nutrient recovery.
