K-Water - Hwaseong
The climate crisis has caused significant water supply concerns, as heatwaves and heavy rains create more volatile and turbid supplies. To address this, K-water launched a next-generation AI water treatment plant to reduce production costs, improve responsiveness and reduce human error. It is being scaled across 40+ other sites.
It has helped K-water to reduce its chemical usage by 19%, improve labour efficiency by 42% and reduce power consumption by 10%.

water utilities need Innovation in the fourth industry Revolution bid data AI Technologies are accelerating Industries are opening a new chapter converging with digital Technologies K Water realized the digital transformation of its water treatment plants by introducing big data and AI into its water operations K-water the world's first Smart Water Treatment Plant Smart Water Treatment Plant Technologies consist of four functions autonomous operation Energy Management predictive maintenance and intelligent video surveillance after learning from data like water quantity slash quality the AI operates the water treatment process on its own reducing energy usage and achieving carbon neutrality through operation optimization and power Peak management monitoring facility conditions and self-diagnose AI detects incidents in water utilities with CCTV and enables workers to respond quickly the autonomous operation consists of eight water treatment processes intake chemical dosing sedimentation Etc AI predicts and controls the valve opening of the intake well the chemical dosing process categorizes raw water qualities into clusters and predicts coagulant dosing rates AI predicts and controls the speed of the flocculator AI predicts the amount of sediment and operates sludge collectors AI operates by predicting the operating number of filter basins and scheduling the backwash filtration process the disinfection process is operated by deriving the chlorine injection rate from the residual chlorine evaporation predicted by the AI energy management system reduces energy use by optimizing the operation of energy-intensive facilities and managing power Peaks AI predicts the minimum required pie pressure in the distribution area and controls the water pump manage power Peak with AI predicted power demand values the predictive maintenance system uses AI to monitor the status of key facilities in real-time and autonomously diagnose any abnormalities Monitor and analyze facility operations data in real time the AI recognizes the abnormal data and identifies the failure mode in the equipment and suggests the cause of the failure the intelligent video surveillance system uses AI to detect eight items fire pipe leakage falling electric shock Etc through CCTV and enforces Safety Management and Water Treatment Plant works with these Technologies Smart Water Filtration has the real-world impact of planting 4 million pine trees through annually reduced power chemicals maintenance and carbon reduction from worker-centered operations to Ai and workers convergence shift paradigm in addition K water will complete a fully autonomous operation system by 2030 through the application of advancing AI Technologies to all 42 water treatment plants by collaborating with Global Partners we hope K water's Smart Water Treatment Plant technology would become a global model in response to the climate crisis K water is taking a step forward with Smart Water Technologies

That is interesting. The Republic of Korea (South Korea to Americans) always seems to be on the cutting edge of technology compared to the States. I have joked with my Korean friends it is like they are living in the future.
