Microplastics are now a standing research priority, and for good reason: plastic input to aquatic ecosystems is measured in millions of tonnes per year, and the particles are distributed from surface waters to deep sediment. Commonly cited estimates put the annual input at roughly 9–14 million tonnes globally, with a wide uncertainty band depending on…
Antibiotic resistance is one of the more serious public health problems of the century, and wastewater is one of the routes by which resistance genes move between environmental bacteria, clinical pathogens and the wider environment. WHO treats environmental AMR as a major component of the problem, because treatment plants sit at the junction between human…
Water age is the time between treatment and delivery. A treatment plant can produce water that comfortably meets every standard at the plant gate, and the distribution network can still degrade it on the way to the tap. Disinfectant residual decays, biofilms establish, corrosion chemistry drifts, and disinfection by-products keep forming. Water age is the…
Key Takeaways The global smart water management market is estimated at USD 23.7 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 43.7 billion by 2030, growing at roughly 13% CAGR (BCC Research) The United Nations projects 68% of the world’s population will live in urban areas by 2050, intensifying pressure on city water infrastructure (UN…
Disinfection Control in Sterile Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Residual Chlorine Monitoring Best Practices Key Takeaways: – Residual chlorine monitoring ensures 99.9% of disinfection effectiveness verification for pharmaceutical water systems and sanitization processes – Shanghai ChiMay residual chlorine transmitter systems provide ±0.03 mg/L accuracy across the 0-10 mg/L measurement range, enabling precise disinfection control – Automated monitoring eliminates…
ChiMay Product Category: Controller, Flow Meter Smart metering is one of the larger capital decisions a municipal utility will make, and the argument for it has less to do with the meters themselves than with what the utility can do once consumption data arrives every hour instead of every quarter. The business case rests on…
