Innovation to Practice (I2P) Series

I2P.1 The Journey of Innovation Implementation: Ceramic Membrane Microfiltration for Surface Water Treatment

22 June 2021 (Tuesday), 6.00pm-7.00pm SGT (GMT+8)

Co-organiser:  

Membranes for filtration during water treatment have been operating for a few decades, but only recently have ceramic membranes been installed for surface water treatment. Ceramic membranes offer not only the robust filtration barrier that membranes provide, but also the durability (>15 years) and compatibility with chemicals such as ozone, to allow greater flexibility for operation and cleaning.

PWNT’s CeraMac® system has been installed at 400 Mld capacity, in total, for surface water treatment plants in Singapore, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. The journey of consideration, testing, and implementation for a new innovative technology is unique to each utility, but all involve a pilot- or demonstration-scale evaluation.

This session will feature speakers from PUB, Singapore’s Water Agency and Scottish Water who will share their perspective on the journey of implementing these new technologies into their utilities. Their experiences will help other utilities with options for how to plan and evaluate filtration technologies to gain confidence in full-scale implementation.

I2P.2 Digital Blueprint for Water Utility Companies – Data Driven Decision Making

22 June 2021 (Tuesday), 7.30pm-8.30pm SGT (GMT+8)

Co-organiser:

Binnies, water and environment services provider and Aarhus Vand, Denmark’s leading water utility company, are currently implementing a first of its kind digital blueprint across the water utility’s’ business.

A digital blueprint forms a link between digital initiatives and wider business goals to ensure they are aligned across short-, medium- and long-term time horizons.

It recognises the need for a line of sight between the decisions a water utility company makes and the data necessary to make them.

Creating a digital blueprint requires an understanding of the organisation’s current digital maturity. The Digital Readiness Level tool can be used by organisations to evaluate their maturity across six key areas: organisational intent, standards and governance, digital architecture, data quality, the implementation roadmap and digital investment planning.

Programme

I2P.5 Breaking Boundaries in Digital Delivery

24 June 2021 (Thursday), 5.30pm-6.30pm SGT (GMT+8)

Co-organiser:

Case Study 1

Anglian Water Strategic Pipeline Alliance – a case study to explore an innovative approach to delivering a major programme of water transmission pipelines. The Anglian Water region is water scarce and subject to climate uncertainties. This case study will focus on the development of the programme using an innovative project delivery model, the Project 13 approach. This approach integrates the full supply chain into the project delivery process, described as an enterprise model, boosting certainty and productivity in delivery and improving whole life outcomes in operation. The case study will focus on setting up differently to deliver outcomes (using a Construction to Production ethos), give live examples on efficiency and sustainability benefits and discuss some of the digital enablers.

Case Study 2

This case study will demonstrate how an innovative combination of IoT data capture, real-time process modelling, and machine learning provided valuable insight into plant operation. Mott MacDonald have supported Watercare (NZ) in the design and construction of Rosedale Wastewater Treatment works. This case study will explore how the implementation of process modelling tools (e.g. EnviroSim BioWin) combined with machine learning predictions can support plant commissioning and operations.

The Rosedale Digital Twin uses a novel combination of real-time process modelling and predictive machine learning models to provide unique insight into plant operations. By combining data from multiple disparate sources (e.g. weather, telemetry) and integrating with industry leading analytics, engineers and operators gain new insights into current and future plant performance. This leads to improved plant performance, decreased risk and consumables consumption. Treatment Digital Twins have been successfully used for predictive performance and virtually trialling plant operating conditions, resulting in up to 20% savings on power costs and 12% reduction in commissioning time.

I2P.23 Rising Above: Integrated Adaptive Pathways for Urban Environments

25 June 2021 (Friday), 1.00pm-2.00pm SGT (GMT+8)

Co-organiser: AECOM

Over the last decade, climate change has resulted in more frequent and severe floods and droughts. Rainfall patterns are more unpredictable and sea levels are rising. These changes threaten the ecosystem and livelihoods of people – particularly the poorest and most vulnerable – and also pose a major impediment to economic and social development. The impact is expected to increase in severity over time.

Many government stakeholders, business leaders and organisations have started to pursue a sustainability agenda to introduce policies and business practices to manage water related risks and enhance water security. In particular, rising sea levels has forced many coastal cities on the frontline to quickly adapt to the rising threats and demands of a changing environment by managing the physical risks of climate change impact and embed climate resilience across their urban infrastructure and social network.

Discover how public sector agencies such as the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection responded to climate challenges and adopt innovative solutions to solve serious water challenges. Draw on their lessons that can be translated into new and more dynamic approach towards coastal infrastructure and future proof against potential threats and stresses in the future.

I2P.25 Building Successful Startup-Utility Partnerships in Developing Asia

28 June 2021 (Monday), 9.00pm-10.00pm SGT (GMT+8)

Co-organisers: Imagine H2O Asia & World Bank Global Water Practice

Across the Asia-Pacific, innovation remains an underutilized resource in helping utilities meet their growing water needs, adapt infrastructure to reach underserved populations, manage emerging contaminants and mitigate future shocks from climate change.

What is preventing utilities from engaging with the innovation community in the pursuit of SDG 6? How can we overcome those hurdles? What practical strategies have the World Bank, Infrastructure Asia and others observed through practice to reduce testing and deployment risk?

Drawing from the case study of Drinkwell (Startup) with Dhaka Water Supply & Sewerage Authority (Utility) and Chittagong Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (Utility), this session will explore success factors that enabled the utilities to address vital gaps in service delivery by collaborating with a water technology startup. What prerequisites are needed to launch these partnerships? What conditions must be in place to help them thrive? What elements are transferrable to other regions?

In addition to exploring these questions with live Q&A, this session will conclude by sharing new program announcements from Singapore-based accelerator, Imagine H2O Asia – outlining opportunities for the audience to engage more productively with the region’s emerging water innovation ecosystem.

Takeaways for audience:

• Share insights on the barriers to innovation access and adoption in South and Southeast Asia
• Explore a case study of successful utility-startup collaborations in Bangladesh
• Examine the success factors for scalable utility-innovator partnership models and identify opportunities for replication globally
• Present pathways for audience to collaborate with World Bank, Imagine H2O Asia and other partners to foster water entrepreneurship and innovation across the Asia-Pacific

I2P.12 Innovative Tools and Resources for Selecting City Sanitation Systems

29 June 2021 (Tuesday), 2.30pm-3.30pm SGT (GMT+8)

Co-organiser: 

Many middle income and most lower income cities have not yet been able to make safe, affordable sanitation systems available for all their residents. This poses serious risks to citywide public health and perpetuates environmental and water resource pollution and degradation. Every city has a unique combination of urban development; housing type and tenure; topology, climate and water resources; policy, institutions and regulations; private sector engagement; revenue and budgets. These factors – and others - impact the choice of sustainable sanitation options in urban settings. The uniqueness and complexity limit the use of universal approaches, tools and ‘short-cuts’ in decision-making. They require situation-tailored tools and the application of professional expertise and experience in applying them.

Case studies from India and Bangladesh will profile innovative, practical, bespoke tools developed to support sanitation decision-making and operations in these cities. In Madhya Pradesh, an integrated management information system (IMIS) tool is used for evidence-based sanitation planning. Key parameters, such as population density, urban sprawl, socio-economic status, climate change and vulnerability mapping, are overlayed and processed in a GIS-based data system. The outcome was an evidence-based proposal of which sanitation systems may be suitable in which area, e.g., centralized or decentralized on-site sanitation systems. The Khulna Sewerage System Development project is another example. It mixes innovative tools for selecting different sanitation systems to provide sanitation services for all.

BrineScan has been developed for Vitens in The Netherlands, but can be implemented internationally.

I2P.22 Technological Solutions for Early Warning of Water Quality

30 June 2021 (Wednesday), 7.00pm-8.00pm SGT (GMT+8)

Co-organiser:

Fast and accurate quality prediction is one of the key challenges for the water industry. In general, detection of pollutants (emerging pollutants, organics, metals, etc.) is time consuming and expensive, because high frequency in situ measurements of such pollutants are not available. This is the reason why contamination events are often found too late.

Amphos 21 has developed innovative methods to solve the problem of early warning of water pollution:

1) COMSOL Apps: It is a technological solution based on the development of computation Apps based on Comsol Multiphysics, a general-purpose finite element simulator solves partial differential equations. We will show and discuss on a particular computational App developed to predict the evolution of groundwater quality in a site of Mallorca where reclaimed wastewater was used for irrigation.

2) AquaLearning: It is a technological solution based on Machine Learning algorithms. For that, Amphos 21 is using different technologies (about 15 algorithm types already available in the toolbox). We will show and discuss on the main results of a current pilot project where we are training the algoritms to improve the water supply system of Barcelona city.

*I2P.17 Adaptation in South East Asian Cities: Solutions for Heat Stress, Flooding & Planning an Integrated Vision for the Future
