- Sediment formation reduction in drinking water networks
- Reducing the impact of surge/water hammer on the water network
- Early notification of contaminants entering reservoirs/tanks
- Prediction of trihalomethanes (THMs) concentration in drinking water supplies
- Improving field crew training in real-time (including virtual and/or augmented reality techs)
- Increasing water use efficiency in cooling towers
- Alternatives to conventional evaporative cooling
- Alternatives for and/or reduction of chemical use in cooling towers and domestic supply lines (often destructive to chillers and pumps)
- Treatment processes for improving water quality in swimming pools, saunas, and other water features
- Improving reliability and operation of drip irrigation systems
- Non-invasive monitoring systems to detect water leaks in electrical rooms
- Reduction of in-site disinfection byproduct formation for groundwater recharge applications (TTHMs)
