Case: Effectively combining sensor data and domain expertise for advanced control of waste water treatment: the Soreq Western Jerusalem plant
The Soreq Valley leaves little room for plant expansions, so complying with ever increasing effluent requirements is only possible with maximum plant performance. A three layer approach - conventional feedback, data driven feed forward and knowledge based heuristics – provides this performance using adaptive machine learning techniques and intuitive control algorithms based on process expertise.

Building Bridges across the Technology Readiness Valley – Taking Good Ideas to Great Products
One of the biggest challenges for commercialization of novel technologies, even if IP is protected, is the gap between laboratory processes, results and testing, and the full scale final product.  Hence, translation of lab scale technologies directly to the final application, would involve in most cases, a significant risk. This gap is based on several key challenges, including scale-up of component materials and equipment, systems level thinking, and testing at pilot scale in an actual application setting.  Nanyang Environment and Water Research Institute (NEWRI) at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has a mandate to develop its key discoveries into viable products and processes with real life applications.  This presentation will describe NEWRI’s operating philosophy to achieve these goals, and the role Separation Technologies Applied Research and Translation (START) Centre, a National Facility in Singapore, plays in this process.

Solution: Improve Understanding & Mitigation of Flood Risks by Leveraging Best in Class Smart City Infrastructure
A collaboration between enLight and Floodline to deploy large numbers of low cost sensors (groundwater, drainage and surface water), and extract real-time data for analysis.  This allows better understanding of flood risks, and of pathways followed by flood water – allowing better planning of housing, flood prevention and flood mitigation schemes.

Solution: LEVELRADAR - World's first fully integrated wireless radar level sensor for the water sector
We believe that water and wastewater levels can be measured more accurate, reliable and cost-efficient. SenZ2 presents the first wireless radar level sensor, integrated in a powerful stand-alone solution. Without the need of any infrastructure, expanding your measurement network with reliable radar level sensors, have never been easier.

Solution: Smart City Solutions
In November 2016, Bolivia was forced to declare a state of emergency as it faced a severe drought. Royal HaskoningDHV responded to implement feasible water supply projects with quick effect, by using its smart water solutions. The project is innovatively cofunded through the Dutch DRIVE financing facility.
